BenQ Mobile has just crossed a milestone in mobile devices with the launch of the EF91, the world's first mobile to carry HSDPA technology. HSDPA stands for "High Speed Downlink Packet Access", which describes a technology that enables a data transfer speed in the UMTS network that is several times faster than the conventional standard. Now live television, video downloads and mobile Internet surfing can become a high-speed experience on the mobile phone. Thanks to HSDPA, shaky pictures seen during video calls are also a thing of the past.

This clamshell mobile combines a high-resolution digital camera and modern mobile phone in one compact device. Precious moments can be captured spontaneously in pictures whilst on the move at any time with the aid of the integrated 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, digital zoom, photolight and camcorder function.

Apart from viewing personal photo and video shots in brilliant quality on the 2-inch TFT mobile display (240 x 320 pixels, 262,000 colors). Music and video clips can be downloaded directly from the Internet onto the EF91 equally effortlessly via HSDPA technology.

All multimedia content can be stored on microSD 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.  

The BenQ-Siemens EF91 will be available in summer 2006 in different color variants. Prices will be determined locally.
