BenQ-Siemens E81 UMTS 3G

[Mod]

The BenQ-Siemens E81 with UMTS 3G data connectivity is a small package (it IS Siemens), and delivers a nice combo that includes the usual features and camera. Measuring in at 99.8mm x 46.7mm x 16.7mm (3.93" x 1.84" x 0.65"), the BenQ-Siemens E81 is definitely not the smallest handset in the world, but compared to most other 3G handsets, it is very compact. Limited video conferencing functionality is available, due to the handset featuring only a rearward-facing 1.3 megapixel camera, but a 1.8" 262k color TFT display with a 176x220 pixel resolution is included to clearly see the other party. Storage capacity of the glossy coated BenQ-Siemens E81 can be expanded with microSD cards, and Bluetooth and USB connectivity are available for transferring files on to and off the device.

The attractive BenQ-Siemens E81 will be available in Europe come September 2006, and in Asia starting October.

BenQ-Siemens E81 is a UMTS 99.8 x 46.7 x 16.7 mm small mobile with entertaining media and practical business functions. High quality UMTS link on the 1.8 inch mobile display (262,144 colors, picture definition 176 x 220 pixels) allows fast connections. Whether MP3, ACC- or eAAC+, music can now be received directly from the internet onto the mobile via audio streaming or download. A separate button enables immediate access to all music functions.

Night or day, the BenQ-Siemens E81 boasts a 1.3 megapixel camera with built-in LED photo flash for taking spontaneous snapshots. Video clips can also be shot and replayed conveniently. While making a video call, the mobile’s camera shows the caller everything that one can see oneself – whether this is palm trees on the beach or the flipchart in the conference room. Thus mobile communication gains special visual added value.

Practical business functions like organizer and e-mail help the user to organize leisure activities and day-to-day business efficiently. Data stored on the mobile can be synchronized instantaneously with a PC via a USB cable, the SyncStation DSC-100 (both available as accessories), and Bluetooth. Storage capacity for data, photos, movies and music can be extended to as much as 1 gigabyte using Micro-SD cards.

Original accessories such as various Bluetooth headsets and versatile hands-free solutions for the car complement the compact UMTS mobile, such as the light and ergonomic Headset Bluetooth Comfort and the Car Kit Bluetooth Portable HKW-700 – an innovative plug-and-play hands-free solution for the car.

The BenQ-Siemens E81 is the first device in this mini format to be equipped with extensive UMTS functionality. Thus BenQ-Siemens offers its customers a simple and convenient introduction to UMTS technology and is continuing its product strategy to combine innovative technology with optimum user comfort.
