BenQ-Siemens E52 and C31


The squared off design of the BenQ-Siemens E52 is very reminiscent of Siemens designed handsets - but underneath this is a pure BenQ device with little or no input from the old Siemens Mobile arm of the business.
Priced at around €130 or less, the E52 is a tri-band GSM phone with GPRS and Bluetooth, an MP3 player, FM radio, 1.3 megapixel camera and expandable memory using microSD cards. The display is a 1.8" 176x220 pixel panel in 262,000 colours.
So far the BenQ-Siemens E52 looks like an inexpensive, smart but fairly dull phone. One interesting twist though is that the E52 has a built-in laser pointer and it can even be used as a mouse in PowerPoint presentations via a suitable Bluetooth link. It's an unusual twist which shows that the E52 is aimed at business users.
It's quite a heavy phone at 122 grams, but it's hard to say where all the weight goes.. the battery life is pretty unremarkable at 4 hours talktime and it's not as though it's a 3G phone. At 102 x 45 x 15mm in size, the E52 is a fairly typical size for a business handset. from.http://www.mobilegazette.com/benq-siemens-e52-c31-07x06x12.htm
