BenQ A500 Review (Expert)

One of the issues that has arisen serious debates, is absence of not only a frontal camera, but of the main one too. I assure you that lack of camera doesn’t affects the handset’s capability of accepting video calls, since you can set any picture or video clip, which will be shown to your interlocutor. But the reason why the device isn’t armed with a camera may cause idle gossips. On the other hand, absence of camera doesn’t gives up this device for lost, but on the contrary targets it at a certain niche. Remember, how many people a while ago complained about presence of camera, which they have to pay for, but don’t use? Specially for these consumers, the manufactures have started producing variations of models with and without camera modules. And here we face the same strategy – the handset is positioned as a solution for those, who are fond of listening to music and in need of high functionality of the device, but don’t take up photography. It is not a big share of the market; actually this is stressed by the handset’s price. All students and schoolboys, who are whining that they badly need a camera in this device are not the target audience. It may sound strange, but this very model is aimed at people, who used Walkman brand 15-20 years ago, in other words at the people of middle age. And even though the manufacturer doesn’t clearly imply it, the model isn’t made for the youth audience, to tell the truth this isn’t a common way of positioning Walkman series. From this it follows that Sony Ericsson W950i doesn’t meet the title of “all-in-one” device – on the whole, it’s just another smartphone, but without a camera.

[COLOR=blue] [FONT=Courier] heyy M9's. I do not really have this phone. I really have the t-mobile sidekick 3. I just got it last month. Actually that's what I am online with right now. The phone is really good for people who like to go online a lot. The qwerty keyboard is great. The phone even has a mp3 player. I would have to say that the only thing I don't like about the phone is that you can't get ringtones off this site with the phone. Well... if anyone has any information on where I can get free ringtones for my sidekick 3, then email me at danielleqsr@tmail.com
