BenQ has launched the super-slim BenQ T60, targeted at the sophisticated, style-conscious consumers. Measuring a mere 8.9mm thin, the T60 sports a spacious 2.2-inch QVGA TFT LCD display, a rarity for a phone this slim, a built-in camera with 3.2 megapixel photo output, and a high-quality multimedia player. The sleek T60 recently received the internationally-renowned red dot Design Award, a highly coveted accolade vied for by the world’s top companies, for its innovative design, exceptional quality and high functionality.
BenQ’s T60 super-slim mobile phone with extra-large screen is distinguished by chic aesthetics and smart functionality. A glossy stainless steel back tapers to a smooth curved blade, making the phone visually svelte and easy to slide into pockets and purses. The 5-way key is diamond sliced to add further brilliance and shine to the phone’s metallic texture. Designed as a fashion accessory along the lines of pocket-sized luxury goods such as fountain pens, money clips and card cases, the T60 enhances today’s digital lifestyle with its multi-functionality at an affordable price point.
The BenQ T60 features an embedded handy caller black list function that is able to screen out unwanted calls. It comes with 24 MB of internal memory, integrated stereo FM radio with schedule recording function, and a micro SD card slot. For optimal multimedia experience, the T60 performs accordingly with a wide variety of music file formats including MPEG4, MP3, AMR, MIDI and SP-MIDI. It also features Bluetooth with stereo sound (A2DP), remote control (AVRCP) support, and USB connectivity and has a standby and talking time of 200 hours and 3 hours, respectively.
Nokia has introduced the Nokia 6212 classic featuring integrated Near Field Communication (NFC). The 3G handset allows consumers to conveniently share content, access services and information as well as conduct payments and ticketing with one tap of the device. The Nokia 6212 classic is expected to start shipping in the third quarter of 2008 in select markets in Europe and Asia with an estimated retail price of EUR 200 before taxes and subsidies.
“NFC-capable handsets such as the Nokia 6212 classic are set to change the way mobile phone users interact with devices and services in their surroundings,” says Jeremy Belostock, the Head of Near Field Communications, Nokia. “With the Nokia 6212 classic, people can swap items like business cards or calendar notes by simply tapping their handsets together. With ever-increasing device functions and services available, ease-of-use is essential. One way to keep things simple is NFC.”
Near Field Communication is designed for intuitive, simple and safe interaction between electronic devices. By tapping an NFC-enabled tag, consumers can receive new content such as weblinks, audio files or contact data directly to their phone. They can activate a profile in their handset or open applications such as FM radio or web browser. Photos and videos can be easily shared by tapping another NFC-capable phone and pairing with a Bluetooth NFC-enabled device, like the new NFC variant of the Nokia BH-210 headset, happens with just one touch. The lightweight Nokia BH-210 with NFC headset allows users to access all functions easily with a single multifunction key. The widely compatible headset can be used with a number of Nokia devices as well as other manufacturers’ phones.

The Vodafone LG KS20 is a pretty good device which can easily compete with other thumb-focused Windows Mobile Smartphones. The support of UMTS and HSDPA makes it better than the HTC Touch which is 2.5G only (but supporting quadband GSM) and it’s a matter of taste if you prefer thumb-keyboard devices or not. If you don’t need a hardware keyboard, the LG KS20 is definitely an interesting alternative to the HTC Touch Dual, especially because it support WiFi which the Touch Dual lacks.
The overall quality of the device is, as I initially said, rocking solid and it feels neither cheap nor geeky. It’s just a stylish smartphone and a welcome addition to the range of Windows Mobile smartphones.
