I wonder what will happen to the P51 now that BenQ is closing down the division. It will be such a pitty if the phone is canceled so close to its launch. :(

I've been a bit jealous with CDMA customers, they've got a much much faster data transfer and internet than we, GSM guys. After travel to US and using CDMA technology, my impression is just "WOOOOOWWWWWWWW"! It's like broadband speed! In my country, CDMA is still outnumber with GSM, but it doesn't mean in near future, CDMA users will never pass GSM, since CDMA technology is much more advance. To be honest, i'm a great fans of Siemens, that's the reason i have not move my phone network to CDMA since siemens never release CDMA phones. I hope BS release this P51 for CDMA version so i can switch my phone to CDMA, with a better a battery life offcourse (350 h ST and 6 h TT). I don't mind if it's a bit heavier ;)

Why? Aren't there any BenQ centers in your area? Where are you from and where did you buy your P50? What problem did you have? Don't just say "dont buy" without any supporting details.

The great specificaions, I was looking for such a model for a long time. GSM, GPS, WiFi, Qwerty keyboard, simple camera, WM 5.0 with office programs.
The lack of EDGE and UMTS is not disadvantage for me, it is expensive when travalling to other countries and use different operators. Than there is lot of free WiFi access points around Europe suitable for ICQ and SKYPE.
I found only few products with similar specifications, but for much higher price (FS Loox T830, HP iPAQ hw6915, Qtek Dataphone 9100 and HTC P3300).
I only hope, that the release date will not be changed again. In my country it is now november 2006.

Maybe they'd lower the price of the P51 even more considering the competition are all 3G.

P50 runs with Windows Mobile 2003. It had to be this one.

i've seen it here in Egypt sold for around 600$, i even held it for a while, it's slim and look great, but still, i've found out that it runs with windows mobile 2003 SE not wm5.

Noone knows... At Benq forum some say october, others november. Preorders are available so it's got to be soon. Problem is that even at Benq forum Benq itself does not say anything...

I own Treo 650, but this BengQ-Siemens P51 is the most ideal design in the whole market. I love the built-in antenna and Wi-Fi etc. The screen size is perfect, preferably able to select landscape. I hope the Designers use the established Palm OS or Window OS, and extend the battery life further. The latest ganged-button Qwerty keyboard employ to be the kind like Sony Ericson M600i. This model with slight improvements will surely launch itself to be the next market leader. Well done, I am the first waiting to buy.
