BenQ Mobile is about to launch the BenQ-Siemens Q-fi EF51, a music device with an integrated mobile phone.

BenQ-Siemens Q-fi EF51 is the very first mobile phone within BenQ-Siemens' Q-fi range of music-focused devices. Q-fi products feature easy-to-use music entertainment with fast and direct access to all music functions. They offer an all-in-one solution for mobile music lovers and provide everything needed for immediate music enjoyment.

The Q-fi EF51 is fully focused on the needs of heavy music users on the move and equipped with a wide range of music accessories to enhance the Q-fi music experience. Fully fitted with easy to use keys located on the shiny exterior, the Q-fi EF51 serves every user's music needs. Clearly arranged keys for play, pause as well as fast forward and backward functions are located below the TFT color display (262,144 colors, 128 x 128 pixels) for quick and easy operation. 

Apart from an FM radio, the Q-fi EF51 boasts a player for music files in MP3, WMA, AAC and AAC+ formats. A particularly convenient feature is the voice-operated music selection (Speech-to-Music) function, which allows users to simply tell their mobile phone the name of the song and it starts playing. The BenQ-Siemens Q-fi EF51 also has integrated 3D surround sound, a 6-band equalizer for individual sound arrangement and a Show Lyrics feature which displays the text of the music being played on the screen. Additionally, the Q-fi EF51 enables music to be recorded directly from the radio, a convenient feature when recording personal favorites. 

Even a large music collection will find ample room on the exchangeable miniSD cards (up to 2GB). Songs stored on a PC can be easily transferred onto the mobile using the USB data cable supplied. The stereo headset that comes with the mobile ensures excellent sound quality. The Q-fi EF51 is a high-quality mobile phone equipped with an integrated 1.3 megapixel digital camera. Supported by music formats MIDI , XMF and MP3, 40 different ringtones can be selected. 

The BenQ-Siemens Q-fi EF51 will be available from June 2006 on in white and black color variants. Prices will be determined locally.
