It’s just logical then it has a full QWERTY keypad. But it doesn’t stop there. They also included a stylus that can recognize your handwriting by converting what you write to the equivalent character on your phone. Built in memory is 400 MB but it has a MicroSD slot for larger memory options. It may be a bit heavy at 145 grams but with all these features packed in, what do you expect?

A little known mobile phone company, BenQ launches one of the thinnest mobile phone available on the market – the T60. Only 8.9 millimeters thick, this phone however, boasts of a 2.2” screen that can display brilliant pictures taken by its 3.2 megapixel camera. You can store them in your T60 gallery or directly attach your phone to a PictBridge printer and immediately get hard copies.

This beautiful ultra thin device can rival the top mobile phone companies when it comes to multimedia. It prides itself of having an FM radio that can record programs just by inputting the schedule of the program. Its music player supports MPEG4, MP3, AMR and MIDI SP-MIDI. And it’s roomy 24 MB internal memory can enable users to store hundreds of songs, as well as video clips and data. For optional memory, it has a micro SD slot.

This is also a fun phone. The T60 has a feature called background calling sounds which allows you to play different background sounds. You can evoke the serene feel of a spa with ambient sounds or the bustling activity with city sounds. You can even fool your friends by making them think you’re at the beach or in a jungle by playing appropriate sounds. And it’s also very functional. You can attach the phone via USB to your PC or laptop and voila, you can use it as a webcam. With a 320 x 240 screen resolution, you’d be assured of a crisp and great-looking video image. You can even upload video to an online blog or website of your latest adventures through the T60.

The BenQ T60 is email ready so you won’t be out of touch with your friends. If you’re in a hurry, you can drop them a line through text messaging. Call quality is pretty decent. But the T60 provides you with more. It features a system where you can block out callers you do not wish to talk to by just by putting their numbers in the block list. It’s a sort of spam guard and will give you the peace of mind you deserve.

The talk time is not that impressive though, at just 2.5 hours but it has 180 hours of standby time. And BenQ also threw in one last cool feature – a remote control that will enable you to control your phone from across the room.

It has three keys that make the whole thing very friendly, Back, Home and Call. The screen is brightly lit and the menu icons displayed with text captions. You also have the cool option of using voice commands for its GPS navigation system, installed ready on your Instinct. It can give you turn-by-turn directions to any location in a given city.
