Hi there, i'm from brazil, and i absolutely recommend you to buy this phone, for its price it's for sure the best of its category, lots of functions, a regular camera (better than other 1.3mp cell cameras, and with flash), the cell's system works very well.
I have never had problems with it, maybe people that did was unlucky with some bad lot.
I also updated my firmware, and installed opera 4 to navigate on the net, google maps and also mig33 for instant messenger, and they all work fine.
Just good things to tell about the phone, having it for 1 year.

I live in Greece and my EL71 which I bought about 1.5 year ago has not any of this problems. The battery needs recharging about every 5 days, with a normal use as I think. The recharging time is very short: less than 2 hours. It seems that there are different firmware versions around the world, with different levels of reliability. Beyond battery & reliability, the phone has many features, a very good screen, & a really good speaker.

Tricks to improve battery life:backlight at 60-70%,you will not note the difference,your battery will.GPRS & BT off,assign them shortcuts and switch them on only when you need them...most users (me too!) do not need them always on.Now my battery lasts 3 days(I'm not an hard user).

Guys, I do not know what's up with you and this phone, but probably I am very lucky because this Benq works really perfectly. Battery lasts 3-4 days (5 sms per day, 20 min calls per day, 1h mp3 per day). However, you can find a battery for 10€ on ebay. Try to upgrade the firmware if it always turns off.

I bought the phone one year ago.
DON'T BUY THIS PHONE!!
From the first day on, the battery lasts only one day. Everywhere I go I take the recharger with me...
The little movies you can make have the quality of piece of movie from the war in Vietnam... but then smaller
