Augh! My wireless life is a mess right now. In the past five days, the BenQ P50 I’ve been using was doing hard resets like anything during a call. What sucks is that BenQ doesn’t have a packaged backup solution (like iPAQ backup) so I can just restore on the fly. So there. Until I find a new firmware update or have the lemon changed, I’m going back to my trusty SE k700i.
What I liked:
The built-in universal remote is a neat little application which I use to change the channels of public televisions.
The speech recognizer allows me to do really cool things like say “Call Steve Jobs” and it follows.
What I didn’t like:
The 1.3MP camera isn’t really that great. Wish they had taken it out and made the device even cheaper. Images are either blurred or dark. Sad. It’s hard to take decent shots with this camera.
The B-wireless WiFi support. This phone was announced in 2005 but is only being released now in some parts of Asia. WTF! Wish they could have at least upgraded WiFi to G.
Can’t wait for mid-year when BenQ-Siemens phases this %^& out for the P51. Rumor has it that the P51 will come with speech to text so I can say “Hi Steve Jobs its Jayvee. Thanks for the complimentary MacBook Pro” and it translates it to text and sends. But before that I wish they’d iron out the stability issues.
they only wanna do you dir. Eka Kolour.
My P50 battery got easily drained. Im in Cebu, Philippines and I cant find any store selling a battery for my unit.
Where can I possibly purchase one.?
Thanks,
