BenQ's announces EL71, E61, C81, CL71, CF61, Google deal

by Ryan Block posted Mar 8th 2006 at 8:46AM

They're being a little light on the details this morning, but BenQ's officially launching another five handsets, including the EL71 (pictured), E61 (aka the Hermes B), C81, CL71, and CF61. We have a good idea what to expect from some of these (pictures all after the break), but obviously none are as world-rocking as we hope the P51 will be. BenQ also announced a deal to outfit their devices with Google local software for finding local info when you're out and about, but devices sporting G won't hit until April, so hang on.

I tested this camera for a client. I didn’t have the light running for more than 15 minutes. The battery lasted approximately 6 hours before recharging. The LCD, however, had a few dead pixels - never saw this before. Tried returning for exchange and had to put up quite a fight. Anyone else seen this? http://www.batteryfast.com

BenQ phones come with nice ringtones. With its manufacture of EL71, E61, C81, CL71, CF61, with seimens, we expect nothing but a good deal.

Are these going to be available as GSM phones? These are looking pretty nice. I like the two sliders.
