3G mobile phones can only be as slim as this. The new BenQ-Siemens EF81 clamshell device from BenQ Mobile is only a slender 15.9 millimeters thin and is yet full of surprises. Whether movie trailer, music video or current sports broadcast – “movies on the mobile” are pure fun with the 2.2-inch internal display and 262,144 colors. Any content desired can be downloaded in an instant from the internet via the UMTS data turbo. Moreover, shooting one’s own photos or videos is now child’s play. Creativity knows no bounds with the 2.0-megapixel camera. The BenQ-Siemens EF81 has any amount of space available for music, photos and movies too. And if 64 MB of internal memory are not enough, an additional Micro-SD-Card with up to 1 GB of storage capacity is a useful option.

Just one look can speak more than a thousand words. Face-to-face phone calls are effortless with the BenQ-Siemens EF81 – thanks to video telephony via UMTS. Moreover, this elegant clamshell phone is a real head-turner in itself. Not only does the combination of the high-quality materials magnesium, stainless steel, aluminum and real glass look beautiful, it also feels extremely comfortable to hold. Even in its folded state, all key applications are immediately accessible by means of the clear operating buttons below the large external display.

Bluetooth is on board for added convenience. The stylish Bluetooth Comfort HHB-160 headset makes wireless handsfree calls a pleasure and, like the fashionable SyncStation DSC-100, makes the ideal complement to the BenQ-Siemens EF81.

The BenQ-Siemens EF81 is one of the first three devices to be launched under the new BenQ-Siemens brand name. The mobile will be on retail sale from March 2006 in the color “Titanium Silver".
