The next big thing that the mobile technology is concentrating all its energies upon seems to be the HSDPA (High Speed Download Packet Access) technology. The HSDPA promises high data speeds in the UMTS network that is several times faster than the conventional standard, and also similar to those of the fixed-line broadband networks. However, mobile operators and handset makers have been waiting for each other to make the first move, reluctant to invest too early.
In this context, BenQ Mobile, the business division of the BenQ Corporation, has just crossed a milestone in mobile devices with the launch of the EF91 Benq cellular - the world's first handset to carry the highly-anticipated HSDPA technology. Now live television, video downloads and mobile Internet surfing will become a high-speed experience on the mobile phone, while shaky pictures seen during video calls are a thing of the past.
Only these words are enough to place the new Benq cellular among the first of its kind that will revolutionize the mobile communication, offering serious competition to the leading mobile phone producers. However, if that isn't enough, the EF91 clamshell also boasts a 3.2 Megapixel camera with autofocus, digital zoom, photolight and camcorder function, that will always help you capture spontaneously precious moments in pictures while on the move. Sharing pictures with friends is now easier via the mobile data transfer.
As seen, the EF91 Benq cellular uses the most modern multimedia features that bring fun and entertainment to day-to-day communication with friends, family and colleagues. This clamshell phone combines a high-resolution 2 inch LCD display (240 x 320 pixels, 262,000 colors) and modern mobile phone in one compact device, where video clips, television recordings or the latest news and stock market prices can be viewed directly from the Internet with the help of the HSDPA technology.
All multimedia content collected in the EF91 Benq cellular can be stored on microSD expansion cards, which can simply be plugged into the slot provided on the mobile phone. The built-in MP3 music player boasts novel 3D surround sound that makes for realistic sound effects and ensures a unique listening experience. Various Bluetooth headsets provide wireless listening enjoyment in stereo sound quality. These include the Headset Bluetooth Stereo (EU/UK) HHB-180/181 with remote control functions for the EF91. Moreover, hands-free calls can be made using the light and modern Headset Bluetooth Clip (EU/UK) 130/131. The cutting-edge technology in the EF91 is also reflected in the first-rate Car Kit Bluetooth SIM HKW-720.
The BenQ EF91 is not only at the forefront of technological innovation, however. This exquisitely beautiful mobile phone also sets optical and acoustic standards with its perfectly curved shape, high-grade materials, metallic sheen and clear Benq mobile polyphonic sounds. The EF91 is scheduled to begin shipping in summer 2006 in different color variants and prices will be determined locally.
