HSDPA (High Speed Download Packet Access) technology is the next Big Thing and the mobile industry is concentrating all its energies on it. BenQ Mobile being one such company as seen with the launch of their new phone the BenQ-Siemens EF91.

HSDPA technology results in faster mobile data transfer while downloads like music and media would be available 5 times faster than UMTS transmissions. Another astonishing feature of the EF91 is that it allows videos to be viewed directly on the net on the 2 inch LCD display. If all this wasn’t enough the EF91 boasts of a superlative 3D surround sound system which will please the toughest of the audiophiles

The EF91 promises to take mobiles one step further and boasts a high-quality 3.2 mega pixel camera with auto focus, digital zoom, photo light and camcorder function too. Video calls are a pleasure too thanks to the shudder-free images. Well all these great features don’t mean that the phone looks like a turkey. Infact the BenQ-Siemens EF91 is a highly stylized phone with just the right curves. It has an expandable memory too and one can use the interchangeable microSD memory cards to store as much as data one desires.
