(+) The design of the N97 may be relatively sober, but build-quality is very high (-) at $650 unlocked and contract-free it's an expensive way to make clear calls

...BenQ-Siemens mobile phone series S81 is only 13 mm thick, the S81, including 3G mobile phone thin, thinner than the 3G mobile phone, Sony Ericsson M600i is 15 mm in thickness.
I try to review some of the features of this phone as follows:
DESIGN
Although made thin, still using the dual-S81 camera, which is useful for video call.

Advantages: pretty, unique, girly, photo phone book, mp3 player Disadvantages: a little slow, only 1 game, almost impossible to see the screen outside in daylight

In a word? No.
As I've said, it looks nice enough. Decked out in a sexy silver brushed metal effect it's quite attractive front on, but at the back it's just black plastic. Even then this undertstated effect is quite nice so you can have the phone and not worry about it being ugl. It's also a slide phone which means that the keypad drops down when...
