Two New Handsets from BenQ-Siemens

BenQ-Siemens has launched two more handsets, the SL80 and the AL26. The BenQ-Siemens SL80 is the successor of the SL75 - winner of the iF design award in 2006. With an integrated megapixel camera, built-in photolight and digital zoom, the BenQ-Siemens SL80 also functions as a high-performance camera mobile for spontaneous snapshots. Short movie sequences can also be recorded equally simply. The integrated media player supports all popular audio formats. An organizer for appointments, tasks and notes is on board, along with a clearly organized address book that displays all telephone numbers at a glance.

Thanks to the PictBridge function, photos can be transmitted directly from the mobile to a Bluetooth photo printer wirelessly. Moreover, the slender triband mobile can also be connected wirelessly via Bluetooth to all kinds of practical accessories.

The BenQ-Siemens SL80 will be on retail sale from October 2006.

The BenQ-Siemens AL26 features user-friendly configuration and intuitive operation. As soon as the phone is turned on, polychromatic butterflies appear on the large color TFT display (130 x 130 pixels) and glimmer in 65,536 brilliant colors, a choice of wallpapers in beautiful butterfly design complete the theme.

A diary giving an overview by day, week and month as well as a reminder function for important events are on board, as is a high-quality handsfree speech system. Polyphonic ringtones and a practical currency calculator round off the versatile features package. Precise four-way navigation above the keypad guides the user quickly and conveniently through the clear menu. All telephone numbers, appointments and other data stored on the mobile can be synchronized with a PC in an instant.

The BenQ-Siemens AL26 will be on retail sale from mid-September 2006 in Europe and Latin America."
