One is a compact 3G phone, the other claims fingerprints won't stick to its glossy exterior; meet the BenQ-Siemens E81 and E71.
BenQ-Siemens E81
In order to keep its size compact, the E81 also keeps features to a minimum. Its more noteworthy ones include 3G connectivity with limited video calling due to the lack of a front mounted camera, while the 1.3 Megapixel edition in the rear snaps stills and video almost exclusively to memory cards; onboard memory is severely restricted. Also present: MP3s either as ringtones or pure entertainment as well as the ability to connect Bluetooth headsets.
