stand by time is way too short, scratches easily and freezes a lot. On the contrary, quite hany for a windows mobile version 6 smartphone

Great phone, but i found the display scratched easily, and the call quality isn't that great.

I like the phone, hate the operating system. The phone seems to be well designed and well built. It isn't touch screen (Windows 6.1 is the touchscreen version of Windows 6.0) but I wanted a phone to use as a phone so was happy with that. Windows 6.0 though has given me problems from the outset, whilst it syncs ok, loading Contacts from the computer proved a major headache, THERE IS NO DISTINCT CONTACTS FOLDER! Instead Contact details are embeded within an executable (EXE) in conjunction with at least two other files not readily accessible to user. Call logs are assigned directly to Contacts themselves, and I do not want this. You can add contacts to the phone manually no problem, but I suspect most people will be migrating from other phones and will want to just tranfer contact details rather than enter them in all over again. It seems to be designed mainly for use with Outlook, what of users who don't like Outlook? I do not use Outlook due to the security holes. Likely I will not be using this phone due to data security concerns. With Windows 6.0 until I can reasonably ensure the security of either my own or others personal data, phones using this oprating system are a no no.
- A very nice, well built reasonably priced phone if you want Windows 6.0, on consideration I do not now want Windows 6.0, 6.1 or the like, though otherwise I like the phone itself.

The phone is perfect. Sometimes a bit laggy because of the window os but still a perfect phone.

I got one of this phone. I'm very happy. Bluetooth is good. I tested Wi-fi connection with Fring and IE. Its very fast and working fine. Easy to use menus and phone. Synchronization with computer works fine. Outlook Exchange server connection is also working very good and mails come automatically when received. microphone quality is good but speaker sound is not good. quite low.

> In reply to koon @ 2008-10-12 02:42 from wr6Kwell if you compare the price you will see how this is the better phone.
This costs $120-$150 and the Samsung i200 costs $300.

What do you expect ???

There is plenty of phones and cost $300+ and are better but for this price you wont find another phone like this one.
Think before you type.

I bought a Benq E72 on EBay as a standby, easy to pocket second mobile,its very small easy but easy to use and to sync with my PC which meant I had all my contact phone numbers on tap within minutes, however what makes the Benq E72 impractical/unusable is the battery dies in day or less depending if you use it!

I have this phone for over 3 months now and have used the HTC S730 before that. I have to say that this is a great device; well done BenQ!! It has everything that you caaould possibley need in a windows mobile powered device. It is a brilliant design and probably one of the smallest and lightest on th emarket. Whilst the materials used are a little plasticky theyare well put together. The keypad is tactile with very responsive keys and the lettering a good readible size. The radio has a great reception with no lost calls and th esound is indeed very clear .Its got bluestooth with A2DP for wireless stereoover bluetooth and it works a treat. It aslo has wi-fi b/g which is great when using Skype (not included).Added to this are little extras like "vibrate on connection" which means you do not have to hold the phoone at your ear when initiating acall; when it vibrates you are connected. Also it has microSd up to 2 GB which is useful for saving the 2 Mega pixel camera aswell as music.

All in all a great litttle device and comes highly recommended. Benq , we need more like this and BTW with a bigger screen!!

Well when I bought this phone, I found it complicated to use for the first two days. Now having said that, when you figure out how to use this phone, it is really an amazing device. It has everything a phone could have, from bluetooth to WiFi. It has 100's of amazing functions and is not a waste of money. On the negative, there are basically 1 or 2 small things. One thing is, that the processor is a bit slow, but its bearable. The 2nd thing is that the battery wastes really fast if you use Wifi (only) the other apps don'd drain the battery very fast. I don't know for what reason the battery gets drained so fast when WiFi is on. Well there is the basics on the phone. It is a really good phone. I think they played it safe with the design and that's ok, but I would have love the seen the phone as a touchscreen or even a bit more wild design. Im not complaining about the current one. I would have just loved to seen it taken a bit further.
