I have not had a BenQ-Siemens phone before & always stayed with Nokia & they have been totally reliable but I have been drawn to the BenQ-Siemens range on design & looks. My friend Sarah has a new BenQ-Siemens phone & she is really happy with it, so I may follow in her footsteps & try either the E81 or the E71 model. I like compact phones & I am dead against any opening systems. I want a good camera, long video recording, video streaming, MMS (goes without saying), bluetooth & high speed transfer. Reliability & battery life is most important of all to me.

E81 may be small but small means that the screen is smaller & I like a large screen to enjoy the multimedia on a phone with a specification like the BQS E81. Good features but too small for me.
