Benq has just announced the C36 music phone, a successor to its earlier C30. The phone is similar in design and style to the C30, but has several improvements over its predecessor. It weighs an almost unnoticeable 78g and has a unique top-key design with dedicated keys for FM radio, MP3 player, and the 1.3 megapixel camera onboard. If you think this isn't any different from the other music phones out there, think again. The C36 has the ability to record FM radio and the 1.3mpx integrated camera can record videos in AVI format, a big difference from others if you ask me. The camera can also act as a webcam when connected to a PC. There is a 2.0 inch LCD display, too small to make use of the included ebook reader or the photo editor. The phone is equipped with dual speakers and supports microSD expansion for up to 2GB. The C36 also comes with a health management application for the health-conscious music lover. There aren't too many options in the connectivity segment with just USB 1.1 support and WAP/GPRS.
The C36 will be available in Indonesia starting this month with a graduated release world over.
