BenQ P51 Actually Launched, In China
Posted by Janak Parekh in "NEWS" @ 09:00 AM
"The BenQ-Siemens P51 recieved FCC clearance a few days ago, but at the time we did not really think it amounted to much, seeing how this phone has been delayed for ages already. However today, in a surprise move, it appears the device has actually been launched in China. Still featuring Windows Mobile 5 and built-in GPS, the device is differentiated from its other QWERTY brethren by having a full QVGA screen above its always exposed thumb keyboard...The device will be on sale for a pricy 6500 yuan (around $825) but BenQ is not ruling out a GPS-free version for less."
Well, I guess I was wrong - the P51 is appearing in the Far East. Still, I doubt we'll see it in the Western Hemisphere anytime soon. In addition to Surur's summary, you can see the original (poorly translated) page here.
