BenQ- Siemens C81 Mobile Phone Review

BenQ- Siemens C81 Details

neXus The new Benq Siemens phones sure have potential. Good design and plenty of features. I really miss the classics, though :(. Wonder if they'll be made in Germany or Taiwan...

Simon Oh I forgot to mention. My software works great. Except the fact that i've got stupid orange menu in it that really pissess me off. But except that everything works fine. Maybe a bit slower when loading games, themes than k510i but it doesn't lag though. Writing messages works fast and easy. Menu is also fast. Games work awesome. I don't know much bout battery because I bought this phone today. When I turned the phone on it was showing bout 1/3 battery left. Now it's like 1/5. I'm using it for bout 2 or 3 hours non stop playing, playing music, changing settings etc. So the battery seems good. K510i's battery already depleted though it showed 3/4 when i started testing it. I hope i helped a bit. If you don't know which one to buy i suggest you to buy C81. I don't regret it at all.

danny it will be made both in germany, taiwan and also in austria...

enjoy!!

Mirex That's true. I spaculate about buying SE K510i, but this cell phone offers me memory cards and bluetooth. It will be a hard competition. The main disadvantage of C81 is bad bright surface. It is easy to soil it.

K.Rao BenQ siemens relesing a few very good models, exelent design and good features we have to wait and see for battery performaence and sound clarity

JohnIdler Nice features for this C81, I think will win again this year the competition with K510 from Sony... :) like C75 did last year. It seems that K510 loks beter, at least in pictures...
All in all, a very interesting offer, i hope that it will have stable software and a good price like C75 did

Simon I've just bought it. It's an awesome phone. I was also thinkin bout buyin SE k510i at a bit lower price but i don't regret my decision. My mom bought k510i so i can compare those 2.. C81 got better, a bit bigger display, much much better sound, great music player, memory cards up to 1gb. and it has "something" in it. K510i feels soo empty. Camera is above average but i havent done any pics outside so i can't compare really but i think that k510i has a bit better camera. Also at first sight i liked K510i n i bought Siemens just coz of memory cards but now i really like it more than SE. For me the only disadvantages over Sony are just a bit worse camera n function buttons. I really had to get used to them because before i was pressing the media player button instead the accept button. But really C81 is a great phone for it's value. K510i too but Siemens is really better after all. You won't be dissapointed.

vans pfuuu!!! this fone suxx! the design reminds me Vader frum star wars. he would be happy with this fone
