The history learns that any kind business does not remain unpunished. Was companies Motorola to present “razor” under name RAZR as to a pursuit of reduction of a thickness of phone have rushed, practically all leaders vendors enough. Company BenQ has not stood aside also. Having received, from company Siemens Mobile which have left in a non-existence, all program operating time, engineers BenQ after approximately year after occurrence RAZR, have offered users the vision of the thin mobile device. It is necessary to understand, whether it was possible to manufacturers to make something большее, than simply clone.

The delivery complete set:
- Phone;
- Stereo set HHS-150;
- The accumulator;
- Battery-charging device;
- The instruction;
- A cable for synchronization DCA-140 USB;
- CD-ROM with ON for synchronization.

Phone is executed in forms-factors of the book and has the all-metal case. The basic features of the device:
1. One of the thinnest folding beds with support networks of the third generation, collected in the metal case.
2. Two color displays with the high permission. The external display is covered by the tempered glass.
3. 2-megapikselnaja the chamber with the rotary mechanism.
4. Слот for microSD-cards without possibility of hot replacement.
5. 64 Mb of the built in memory.
6. Four external software-keys on the forward panel

Model EF-81, under the statement of representatives of the company, is for today a leader in all rulers of phones which are present in the market. The niche for similar decisions is small enough; in it the competition is very great, therefore for success achievement serious differences from similar models of other manufacturers are required. One of firm counters of this device of a steel of a theme of registration of the menu, executed in style of Star wars. Attraction to advertising of this phone of a mega-star of football, Ronaldo became strong enough advertising course. Besides, all traditional models supporting networks of the third generation do not differ the thin case, and decision BenQ allows to satisfy requirements of the users requiring the thin device capable to work in networks UMTS.

Appearance

The wide and thin model assumes, first of all, a man’s audience. For a female palm, it is wide enough and heavy (device weight makes 110 г at width of the case of 51 mm). Thus, it thickness makes only 15.9 mm. The device case is made of metal, except for a compartment over the battery. The forward panel is made of the polished stainless steel; phone case is made of a magnesia alloy, the back panel - from the black anodized aluminum. On the forward panel the external display with a diagonal of 1,3 inches, supporting 262 thousand colors is located at the permission 120×160 points. Under the display four keys are located, allowing to use the chamber, a media player and to block the keyboard. On the polished metal more truly panels is well appreciable pollution, for preservation of a tidy look phone should be wiped often. At the same time, the metal case gives designs necessary rigidity that is very essential at the thin case. The chamber in the device turns on the hinge. At the closed forward cover, the objective looks in an opposite side from the user, and the external screen performs a view-finder role. At cover opening, the objective turns on 180 ° and the chamber can be used for video calls.

The mechanism of opening of the case is thought insufficiently over. The mechanism avtodovodki is absent, let alone the button of automatic disclosing, therefore to open phone one hand is problematic enough. It affects convenience of use at an entering call, especially when hands are occupied. In the bottom part of the forward panel the lattice polyphonic dynamics is located. In total dynamics in phone - two. Top it is used at conversation, bottom - for music reproduction. The core динамиком not the highest, for achievement of the best affect it is preferable to use quality of reproduction of music stereo headset. The design of a back cover completely coincides with model RAZR. The storage battery is in the top part of the back panel. Слот to a SIM-card and a flash card become accessible after accumulator extraction. Construction both slots demands installation of cards before click. To send in addition them in a socket it is the most convenient a thin subject, for example, a credit card corner. For extraction of cards, repeated pressing for latch operation is required. The battery capacity makes 950 mAh. The Operating time in real conditions very strongly depends on the chosen radio-frequency range. At small density of a covering of networks 3G, the device is very quickly discharged at the expense of a constant re-registration in a network. If phone is not planned to use in networks of the third generation for increase in time of independent work, it is better to expose only mode GSM.

In the bottom part of phone the socket for connection зарядного devices, sets and a cable for synchronization is located. The socket is much more thin predecessors and corresponds to the decreased thickness of the case. Any of former accessories does not approach to this device.

The keyboard block is very similar on RAZR. Софтверные keys are divided by thin lines, illumination dark blue, a font is well read in darkness. The four-item key of navigation is surrounded восемью by additional buttons. Besides standard keys of a call, a release and two software-keys, there are keys of a call of a web-browser, a video call, the button with and the button activating the contextual menu. The menu button allows turning off the started applications in a background mode, but its functionality is limited. To start more than one same problem it is impossible. In this part, phone completely copies functions of management for phone SXG 75 about which we wrote earlier.

The auxiliary keyboard absolutely flat, but the big size of keys allows fixing pressing well. Errors practically do not happen. On the external display it is possible to establish the prompt which is distinct from the basic screen. In an inactive condition on the screen hours and the information on the passed calls are deduced. To use phone it is possible and without disclosing - all functions of management are duplicated by external keys. To open phone it is necessary only at typing. Special problems with display of a picture are not present - both displays well cope with a problem even on the bright sun. Company BenQ is the manufacturer of TFT-matrixes, therefore it presumes not to save on quality of screens, especially in models. The basic display has a diagonal in 2.2 inches. Nevertheless, on the wide basis of the panel, such matrix is looked not absolutely harmoniously. Between the screen and edge of the panel a lot of an empty place. Considering width of the device, the size of a matrix could be more, at least on half-inch. The screen supports the permission 240×320 points and displays 262 thousand colors. Differs the big corners of the review.

Some words would be desirable to tell about icons of the basic menu. At last it is completely drawn again. A general impression from it, the most favorable. In spite of the fact that the interface organization practically completely coincides with device SXG 75, new icons are looked much better and correspond business and to strict style more. Unfortunately, in all phones Siemens at inclusion acknowledgement is required. Did not become an exception and this device. If you do not have time to press the button confirmation at inclusion phone will spontaneously be disconnected. Besides, despite presence at the device of an independent mode to include it without a SIM-card it is impossible. We write about it any more first time but while developers do not pay attention to opinion of users.

The basic menu

Traditional way of representation of points of the menu is the two-dimensional matrix 3х4 icons. Completely to describe all points of the menu there is no necessity, therefore will describe only differences from SXG 75.

In menu registration it is possible to use themes on motives of a film «Star wars». The Telephone directory allows making records for 500 contacts. It is possible to appoint four phone numbers and e-mail two addresses to each contact. Possibility of instructions of a pseudonym and a considerable quantity of personal data is kept. Each contact can appoint a picture, a melody and a video file. Phone supports vocal labels which can be about hundred pieces.

Call magazine

All logging shares on accepted, passed and typed. Besides, there is a general list of all calls. Each list can store to 100 records.

Messages

Are supported SMS, MMS and e-mail messages. The post client supports reports SMTP, POP3, and IMAP4. Built in dictionary Т9 has an emerging strip of the help.

Media player

The player supports AAC ++, files MP3 and MPEG4, потоковое video 8/9 in a format h.263, and video files 3GPP. It is possible to create personal plej-sheets, the equalizer is absent. At creation of plej-sheets there is a restriction on the location of files. To add in plej-sheet files from different folders it is impossible. Folders on a flash card are shown in the separate table. The player allows looking through slides, but this procedure occurs very slowly. Support of mode DRM (the digital signature) became one of features of influence of the Chinese manufacturer. The files protected by the digital signature, it is impossible to transfer to other devices.

The chamber

In this phone, the chamber is not priority. There is no flash, an auto focus; good pictures turn out only at sufficient light exposure. At light lack, the matrix strongly rustles, that is a characteristic sign of all CMOS-matrixes. Possibilities for use of color effects at shooting are limited enough, but on a disk with the software there is the quite good graphic editor entering into complete set Mobile Phone Manager. The chamber allows doing pictures with the permission 1600×1200, 1280×960, 640×480, 320×240 pixels. Video shooting occurs in modes 176×144, 128×96, or 96×80 at frequency of shots 7 or 15 fps. The general duration of a video shooting in an unlimited mode, does not exceed 5 minutes. For record the 3gp-format is used. On quality of record, the chamber corresponds Siemens SXG75.

Video call

Separate option of the menu. In the absence of connection to a network of the third generation the option allows to use the display of phone as an original pocket mirror.

Synchronization

For synchronization data from the personal computer program Mobile Phone manager which was specially modified for this phone a command of developers in is used. The thin socket on the case does not allow using cables from the previous models. The program possesses partial compatibility with Microsoft Outlook and rather modest possibilities. So, for example, it is impossible to make full reserve copying of phone, creation and sending of messages from the personal computer is not supported, but phone it is possible used as the modem. Modem drivers are established at the moment of installation of the manager. Much more convenient there was a synchronization by means of report SyncML with a remote server.

Network reports

Except networks GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz, the device supports networks UMTS/W-CDMA 2100. Support EDGE is absent. In phone it is established
The full-function Bluetooth-module, but is not present Ik-port.

The Internet

The built in WAP/HTML-browser allows looking through usual HTML-pages. Function of change of a font size allows achieving comfortable display. Sites with Russian codlings are displayed not always correctly.

The organizer practically has no restrictions by quantity of records as uses memory of phone. Events from a telephone directory (birthdays, anniversary) are transferred in a calendar automatically. The Dictaphone located in the same point of the menu, allows doing records by duration till 150 minutes. Records in a format amr can be used as call melodies. Other functions of an organizer are standard - world time, an alarm clock. The part of appendices of an organizer is taken out in point of the menu of the Appendix.

Appendices

Includes the standard set familiar on SXG 75. He/she is the manager of cocktails, Mobipocket Reader, Acrobat reader and others. There is also a dictionary. The calculator, the converter of sizes with functions of the converter of the currencies, the second dictaphone, a stop watches - these appendices are usual.
Phone supports Java MIDP 2.0, that allows to start on it applications Java with support 3D. From games, in phone is established GemJam Fever - similarity of a Tetris, Seabattle - sea fight, Star Wars - space shooter, Super Bomberman - game with an excellent drawing. Last game - SuperStack. The increased permission of the screen has not added speed in work of Java-appendices, but optimization of the virtual car, minimizes brakes at loading and picture reproduction a little.

General impressions

At the impartial approach it is possible to notice, that the model has turned out enough successful and balanced on functions. Some discount can be made that is the first working out of the new program centre BenQ located. Phone has no problems with communication, differs the decent screen and high quality of a sound. It is possible to carry absence of support EDGE, the weak chamber to apparent defects. Absence of Ik-port for today to lacks does not concern any more. More likely, this spirit of the times. First of all, model consumers will be those plastic case RAZR does not arrange whom. At the moment of the beginning of sales, phone will have the overestimated price, but it will not stop true admirers of mark.

It is the original demand for company BenQ leadership in which basis workings out Siemens has lain down. We will not forget that the company announced and more advanced device supporting report HSDPA. But occurrence of model EF-91 while is postponed. I think that by the moment of its occurrence in the market, the situation with possibility of commercial operation of networks of the third generation in our region completely will clear up.
