BenQ's E72 reviews
BenQ's E72 is an interesting Windows Mobile device. It has unashamedly consumer-friendly looks and packs some consumer-friendly software too. Yet it runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard edition, an operating system more usually found in business oriented smartphones.
This quad-band GSM phone is light at just 90g and has a rather stylish look. Its mostly black fascia is trimmed with red, it has nicely curved edges and the screen has a mirrored finish. If you just glanced at it in passing you'd probably think it was a mid-range, fairly averagely featured handset.
However, checking off the features list, in addition to Windows Mobile we have Wi-Fi which is rare enough in a mid-range handset to cause a raised eyebrow or two. BenQ has also decided to include some handy software in the shape of Mundu. This is a unified Instant Messaging client which works with MSN Messenger, Gtalk, Yahoo, ICQ, AOL and Jabber.
BenQ - E72 features - VerdictThis is a good looking Windows Mobile handset with excellent software for Instant Messaging fans and Wi-Fi for the rest of us. It is hampered by short battery life, a small screen and a slow processor, though.
