BenQ-Siemens announced the release of its marvelous new SL91.

Apart from its exceptional design, the BenQ-Siemens SL91 also offers up-to-the-minute multimedia functionality. With the built-in 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera, atmospheric photo shots and video recordings are easy to achieve at any time of the day or night. A second VGA camera that can be directed towards the speaker during video calls is particularly well protected by the slider mechanism. When making video calls, you can look at your calling partner in 16.7 million authentic colors on the 2-inch QVGA mobile display - almost as if you were standing opposite one another.

Picking up on the unusual design theme of the SL91, the stereo headset that comes with the phone affords mobile luxury for aural enjoyment when used with the mobile's integrated MP3 player and stereo RDS FM radio. Music can effortlessly be downloaded directly onto the mobile from a PC via Bluetooth, via UMTS download or streaming. The BenQ-Siemens SL91's internal storage capacity can be extended using Micro-SD memory cards. Together with the SL91, the base station is not merely a designer accessory that is guaranteed to cause a stir. It also turns the mobile into a portable stereo and can furthermore be used as a handsfree speech system for telephone calls or video conferencing.

A large selection of original accessories with Bluetooth technology, such as headsets or hands-free solutions for the car, can be connected to the BenQ-Siemens SL91 via Bluetooth.

The SL91 will be available in Europe from the fourth quarter of 2006. Prices will be determined locally.
