I have a friend working in BenQ Mexico; he is using a P51 and testing it, looking forward to sell it with Telcel in Mexico. He told me they are planning to start shipping it by 2007, fisrt quarter.

The project is not dead, just in selected markets BenQ -as Mexico (with Telcel, of course [6th. mobile phine carrier wwide and Business Week no. 1 tech. company)- is allocating new product.

I thins for an reason for why Benq -Siemens don't release this phone: its a modernisation of P50 Benq phone (made before Siemens) and now has made canibalism with an another Siemens device; it's only the marketing problem, not techniqual all sourced of combined diveces (from mboth Sms & Bq) works well with the old brands

BS must have tons of problems with this one, otherwise why would it be 6 months late?

that kind of a delay makes you think again.

Benq-siemens new range is good. But they are late in releasing phones. and latley they are also late in innovations.

BenQ, if you are listening, please please release the P51 in Australia. It is the ideal phone feature-wise. QVGA, mini-keyboard, GPS, SDIO, WM5, and more. I love this phone.
Please also continue on developing this phone. Put in 3G/UMTS/HSDPA support if there will be P52 in future.

Well, I have personally decided to just stay with using two devices until the next gen of PPC Phones come around, so im getting the LOOX N560 PPC and havent decided what cell phone yet.

BUT, if i were going to buy a PPC Phone.. i would be considering the ETEN g500+ or m600+

Check out HTC P3300 and Gigabyte g-Smart i300. Similar specs, smaller and lighter, but 64 MB instead of 128 MB RAM.

i think P51 can be succesful. There are many phones like this, but much more expensive. P51 meets all my needs for good money. there is comming soon 11/06 o the benq webpage ( czech republic ) so i hope thats right :)

Well I always thought that benq-siemens.com is the main BS page and it states clearly: http://www.benq-siemens.com/cd...53A1,00.html

Its a bit confusing. P51 disappeared from BS web page, but only for some countries (Germany, Britain, Belgium etc). When you switch to other countries (France, Czech, Greece, Swiss), there is still 11/2006 or 12/2006.

I think they cancelled it because other brands has already made something more advance. So it's better to cancel it than nobody gonna buy this thing. I'm almost sure BS will release a better feature for this form, may be they'll name it P52 or else, with HSDPA (please relase 1.900 also not just 2.100 MHz), 2nd camera for video call and better battery life (i hope 1.800 mAh just like the old-time Treo). Go for it BS ;)

Bull sh*t... P51 got new page on benq-siemens.com and the site does not state 'comming soon' any more. If it was cancelled it wouldn't appeare at all.
