BenQ-Siemens M81 – the mobile phone for the great outdoors
Nokia recently released the 5500 Sport – a mobile for those who enjoy thier outdoor pursuits. Now BenQ-Siemens has followed suit with a similar device – the M81.
The M81 features a blue and white water-resistant rubber and plastic casing, along with a scratch-resistant screen to protect the 132 x 176, 262,144-colour display. There’s also a 1.3MP phone with an LED flash that doubles up as a torch, plus the usual music, video and gaming applications, along with EDGE support.
More unusually, the M81 ships with navigation software – Jentro’s Activepilot – and a dedicated weather outlook application. A GPS receiver is extra, as is access to updated meteorological forecasts.
The M81 will be available in August, in blue and white or black and white. Price to be confirmed.
