BenQ-Siemens P51

After talking about the P50, then comes the anticipated P51. There have been some small but significant upgrades to the new Windows Mobile 5.0 device.

The following features are included:

- a speech to text application (as well as the text to speech app which the P50 already has)

- upgrade of WLAN to 802.11g

- an optional GPS navigation module

- stereo sound and the ability to support AAC, AAC+

- best of all, the QWERTY thumb pad is now color coordinated to distinguish numbers from letters (I guess they read my post on thumb board design)

What I didn’t like was that the 1.3MP received no upgrade whatsoever. Of course, one could argue that for an enterprise device, who really needs the camera?

But still, I have this new viewpoint that devices that have cameras aren’t even supposed to be considered as convergence devices anymore. Cameras are staples in mobile tech. Case for example is when consumers ask about phone models, their first question would be “so does it have a camera?”
