The color tone of the phone is also very attractive. The phone which we reviewed was a red one with grey metallic body. The over all feature of this phone is not that attractive but it’s a good phone with basic features and a stylish body. We specially liked the polyphonic ringtones of this phone; they are melodious and quite sharp. The front panel of the phone has the basic keys with a scroller for better operations. One thing that we terribly missed in this phone is the camera; this phone should have got a camera.

The BenQ T80 mobile phone came out in Q2 of 2007 and has impressed many people with its smooth style and overall performance.  In my opinion this phone looks a little like the Samsung D500 which was another successful phone to hit the stores worldwide.  It uses the latest in mobile phone technology (GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900) so you will always receive the best service from which ever network you decide to go with as it is available on all major networks with many different packages offered.

Technology can be so beautiful. An aura of pure luxury surrounds the elegant SL75 design mobile from Siemens Communications. Its harmoniously rounded shapes are immediately appealing to both the eye and the hand. Because of a slider mechanism that operates particularly smoothly, it enables telephone calls to be conducted with ease, even with only one hand free, while shopping or on the golf-course.

Averagely transferring a 5MB file will take about 10 minutes. Data download over the air or using a cable is a real torment, this is awfully slowly. But note that "data" does not mean applications; they can be downloaded only via wap. Generally, it’s a thankless thing to describe all S75/SL75’s problems, and the list now contains more than 150 items. These problems are partly improved in the 13th version of software, for instance, a user’s photo at a call is shown in normal proportion, but its size got much less, which seems a mockery. Bear in mind that there are no examples when Siemens’ programmers corrected mistakes fast.

Now Siemens SL75 costs 420-430 USD, which makes the model uninteresting. It will have moderate demand first because Siemens constantly loses loyal customers, and second due to unclear promotion. In particular, a TV advertisement resembles Motorola PEBL too much. However the conclusion which questioned people made is completely opposite to the efforts, which Siemens’ marketing specialists obtained. In fact, people start thinking about the rival product.
