Some
more info has surfaced on one of BenQ-Siemens'
Greek
phones announced last month, this time for the Cupid slider. The real name of this business oriented slider is the
CL71, and it includes a 2-inch 200x176 LCD, 1.3 megapixel camera, and Bluetooth 1.2. We're not sure why BenQ-Siemens is
targeting this at business users, since along with that camera they've also included FM radio and a TransFlash slot, but
it all looks pretty good to us. Sadly, no 3G data here, just GSM/GPRS, so maybe we will leave this one to the suits
after all.

Thank you for the review! I have been looking high and low for a new slider phone, and this one sounds right up my alley! Thanks again!

Is there a silver slim slider phone with a speaker phone? It's what I have been waiting for--I don't do the flip phone and yet the slim razr tempted me because of it's elegance. If someone wants to let me
know that such a phone exist, I would be delighted. Oh, blue tooth, camera et al would be a bonus.

About the phone. I wonder why they didn't include 3G. Very strange.

I like BenQ-Siemens CF81(Venus C3) among these presented Novelties, but unfortunately still nothing new is known about it features. Only images.

Yeah, Benq is great but I havent been too happy with them since they took too long to release the p50. I got tired of waiting for that phone.

No wonder the majors (Nokia, Motorola, LG, and Sony Ericsson) are squeezing out the rest.
