 BenQ(Acer) P50 is announced in 2004
Design
BenQ(Acer)'s P50 - one of few models from BenQ(Acer) featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the BenQ(Acer) P50 is very heavy and too big handset at 120 x 60 x 20 mm and 150 grams. The 16 bit - color display which is a little milky, dim and uneven, as well as having lower resolution than usual.The display resolution 240 x 320 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all BenQ(Acer) handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The P50 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent BenQ(Acer) handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.Its keypad is as pleasing in use as its chassis is on the eyes: tactile feedback is excellent and all buttons are placed in a logical manner - quite a feat, considering P50's knack for quirky keypads.The most notable trait of the P50 is of course the way in which it expands from an ordinary mobile phone with a numeric keypad to a fully fledged messaging device with a QWERTY keyboard.
Features
In the WAN department, the P50 boasts healthy support for Quad-band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Email client, Java MIDP 2.0, a voice recorder, FAX/Modem, Loud Speaker, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of infrared old wireless device,bluetooth high speed small range wireless device.GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the P50 is also equipped with a 1 megapixel camera support for picture-taking and audio/video recording, as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 0 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. The P50 also comes with an Secure Digital (SD) and Multi Media Card (MMC) expansion slot located under its battery,a 16-128 MB card comes bundled in the sales package, more space for images audio and video files, less time for PC and communication cable for updating internal memory, MP3 and MPEG4 are both formats which can be stored for playback on the BenQ(Acer) P50.
Performance
Audio quality on the P50 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 4 hours talk time or 100 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The BenQ(Acer) P50 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
BenQ(Acer) P50 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical BenQ(Acer) design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
