Organic Light Emitting Diode (hereafter OLED) display is a self-luminous display that does not require a back-light, offering high contrast ratio

i just wish they had a FM radio too in that.. and they did not introduce any new feature.. its not comparable to nokia n70 or sony k750i.. they both have radio ..

Not sure battery life will get a lot better.. I just hope the price for OLED LCD's will be a lot cheaper.

OLED LCD is better than TFT LCD. The technology is not used at a large scale yet. There is an experimental 17" OLED LCD from hitachi..i think. It is suposed to display more vivid, more natural colors than TFT LCD.

OLED (organic light-emitting diode) dont need a backlight to work, so battery life is much better.

Hmmmmm....on closer inspection these new BS phones are nothing too special.

This S88 is remarkably similar to the SEK750 in more ways than just looks:

Look at the specs side by side:http://www.gsmarena.com/compar...dPhone1=14­11

The EF81 flip is a V3 rip-off (altho it looks far better than the V3 imho) so it seems that although BS (unfortunate acronym!) are producing half-decent phones, they need to quickly assume their own corporate identity or they'll have no chance. The only one that even looks like a Siemens is the S68 and although its only entry-mid level, it certainly ain't the best out there.

I'm sure they'll find their feet. These 3, although being suspiciously similar to the competition, are still a very good start for BS. If you look at some of SE's earlier phones, they weren't too cracky and its only in the last 12-15 months that they've started releasing really good phones, and IMO BS will be just as major a force within 2-3 years.

im totaly impress with benq-siemens s88! it looks like a modified tricked out k700i. but inside is a big difference. even the way the camera lens is put into place.
