From the Press Release:

The BenQ-Siemens E71 is a shapely design mobile of the special kind: Its contours invite the user to touch it. The harmonious proportions without any sharp edges seem to caress the hand. The design idea was inspired by naturally fluid forms and took its cue from the elements: The round, soft design of the BenQ-Siemens E71 was modeled on fluid, floating metal. In accordance with this, a unique surface material was chosen for the E71: Thanks to an innovative non-stick coating of the color variant “Dark Silver”, fingerprints on the glossy surface are kept to a minimum. No matter how often you touch and handle this mobile, the high-gloss surface in a precious metallic finish remains radiant.
The BenQ-Siemens E71 features not only exceptionally harmonious design but also high-value technology. An MP3 player offers mobile music entertainment, and the internal memory can be extended with interchangeable Micro-SD cards. Furthermore, an integrated FM radio allows you to enjoy even more music variety or the latest news while on the go. Data can be downloaded thanks to EDGE (depending on operator) in no time. The battery provides you with up to 400 minutes of listening pleasure thanks to the stereo headset included in delivery. Music and data can be transferred effortlessly between the mobile and your PC with the stylish SyncStation DSC-100 which also functions as a charger. If you want to share your favorite songs with friends, just plug the BenQ-Siemens E71 into your stereo system with the Music Cable IHM-100 whose power supply unit also works as a charger.

Spontaneous snapshots are a breeze with the E71 thanks to the integrated 1.3 megapixel camera with 5x digital zoom. The versatile mobile also records and plays video sequences in mpeg4 format. The brilliant QVGA display (262.144 colors, 320 x 240 pixels) provides outstanding visual impressions.

The harmonic design corresponds perfectly to the comfortable handling of the BenQ-Siemens E71. The keys are only slightly elevated beyond the smooth surface yet provide precise pressure. A central 5-way navigation key together with a clearly arranged user menu make the E71 easy and intuitive to use. Apart from a practical organizer for appointments, tasks and notes, the E71 also has a moon calendar, alarm clock and currency calculator on board, making this mobile your reliable everyday companion. Furthermore, the E71 doubles as a dictating machine, and the preinstalled games Sudoku and “Ice Age 2” offer fun and entertainment for every age group.

A wide range of original accessories is available for the BenQ-Siemens E71, such as the Car Kit Bluetooth Portable HKW-700 which offers an innovative plug-and-play solution for your car with an integrated display and access to numbers and calling lists stored in the mobile.
