do you think you will buy a benq-siemens phone?

I had the sx1 and have the s65 now. I loved th sx1 and s65 is good too.

siemens sxg75 and benq p50 look promising to me though

I guess this is the first phone to have a external 256k TFT(better than CSTN display)

The BenQ-Siemens EF81 is a clamshell phone with UMTS support in just 15.9 mm thickness. It has 2.2" internal display with 256K colors and QVGA resolution (240 x 320 pixels), the external display is 1.3" large, 120 x 160 pixels. The phone will support MP3, AAC++, MPEG4, RealVideo 8/9 and 3GPP. With a 2.0 megapixel camera, Bluetooth support, 64 MB internal memory and a microSD slot, the EF81 will surely be attractive in the folder-flip category. In the market of slim 3G clamshells with high-resolution cameras, the EF81 will compete with Samsung, Motorola and LG models and can expect serious market share. The expected price of BenQ-Siemens EF81 is around 390 euro

compared to motorola Razr3g

external 256k TFT display
10grams heavier
max 1gig memory instead of razrs 512mb
2mp camera instead of 1.3mp
bigger battery and more speculated standby and talk time
Razr 3g dimensions 98 x 53 x 13.9 mm
EF81 dimentions 94 x 51x 15.9

With Salora taking the reins of Benq-siemens Hopes are pinned high. Depends on the market response now.
