I hope the M81 is as good as the Siemens M75 which was a real hit with my eldest son, he loved it & still says it was the best sports companion. The design of the M81 is a little plain but it is a sports phone & the integrated features look fun & of high quality. I hope its a winner but depends on the price & quality of features.

Looks like a Nokia sports phone not a Benq Siemens, this is negative. Give us a 3G sports phone which has amazing looks.
