CeBIT Novelty No. 6: BenQ-Siemens C81 - Modern Multimedia Entertainment

Category: BenQ Mobile

The BenQ-Siemens C81 from BenQ Mobile is an exceedingly elegant multimedia mobile that fulfils the full spectrum of communication needs of the young, spontaneous mobile user who wants all the benefits of modern multimedia on the move.

The BenQ-Siemens C81 reveals unique talent with a built-in multimedia player for playing videos and music in all the latest formats: MP3, AAC, AAC+ and AAC++. All works are clearly sorted according to artist, title, album and music category – a feature that is usually only associated with MP3 players. Both the BenQ-Siemens C81’s top-class loudspeaker with real audio speakers and the stereo headset that comes with the phone ensure the very best in sound quality. Thus you can relax to good music on the way home after a hectic day’s work – even while writing an MMS or email. If you download your favorite songs directly from a music portal onto the mobile, EDGE networks technology guarantees super-fast data transfer (depending on availability). Now you can while away the minutes till your friends come over by playing exciting games like real Football. The 128 MB RS multimedia card supplied with the phone as well as the mobile’s internal memory provide ample storage space for an extensive music collection. The mobile’s battery charge allows you to enjoy up to 10 hours of music without interruption. On the move, the optional Headset Bluetooth Stereo HHB-750 bridges wireless communication in superb audio quality with remote control of all music functions. Decided to take a spontaneous last-minute trip to another city with your friends and you don’t have a map? This is no problem with the C81. The pre-installed JENTRO software “activepilot” turns the mobile into a navigation device either in pedestrian mode or in the car.

 

An integrated 1.3 megapixel camera with 5x digital zoom supplies beautiful snapshots anytime, anywhere that can be put directly into printed form without a computer thanks to Bluetooth via Pictbridge or shared with friends on the brilliant display with 262,000 colors. You can also shoot and replay your own movie sequences spontaneously or download video clips (h.263, MPEG4) directly from the Internet onto the mobile. A practical organizer with diary, task list and memos aids efficient management of day-to-day appointments. Moreover, the BenQ-Siemens C81 meets the highest connectivity demands with Bluetooth and USB 2.0 on board for fast data exchange with a PC. All messages converge in the universal in-box, whether SMS, MMS, email or Instant Messages, missed calls or urgent appointments. Thus all important information can be seen at a glance. Furthermore, all contacts stored on the SIM card or on the phone, including much additional information, are displayed clearly on the 1.8 inch TFT color screen (262,144 colors).

 

A large selection of headsets as well as various Bluetooth Car Kits give further wireless mobile convenience. The Car Kit Bluetooth Easy HKW-100 offers efficient plug&play use with an external controller pad for safe communication. Its jet black coloring and mirror-finish surface show off the high-quality design of the BenQ-Siemens C81 to particular advantage.

 

With the C81, BenQ Mobile once more acts on its strategy to offer full-blown multimedia devices to enrich consumers´ daily lives. It will be available on the market in the second quarter of 2006 in the color Black. Prices will be determined locally.
