It seems that LG's Chocolate mobile phone is going to have a serious rival in the superb, but still in the works, mobile phone from BenQ-Siemens, the OXyon. They have come up with a white cell phone, that has an iPod-like stylish design, with a supposedly sliding-out full QWERTY keyboard. Even in pictures, this handset will set your mind on fire, and it is already making people start saving money just to get their hands on it the first moment it hits the store shelves.

And, I must say, this kind of action is more than justified when we read the specifications the device has come with: an outstanding and more than incredible 640x480 resolution VGA TFT LCD display, making it one of the few phones on the market with such a feature, a 3 megapixel digital camera with a 3x zoom, a digital player that plays MP3/AAC/WMA/WAV, that's almost any type of audio file you can think of, and the last, but not the least, a microSD expansion memory card slot, so you can have the choice to expand the storage space available for your multimedia content.

BenQ-Siemens hasn't said anything about a release date or a price but if this device really has a full QWERTY keyboard behind its fantastic front screen and it keeps these specs until the launch, or gets something better, I just have only one thing to say: Goodbye Chocolate!
