The handset includes an 1.3 megapixel camera with LED light and a 1.8 inch TFT color display (262,144 colors). This one too like the current crop of BenQ mobile phones sports a media player for music and videos and supports interchangeable Micro-SD cards.
However as mentioned by us the E81 is just not a entertainment phone and has some pretty decent business applications. There is a built-in organizer which keeps tracks of the user’s important appointments and while making a video call, the recipient of the call can see everything which one wants them to see. Fast data transfers take place via the USB cable, Bluetooth or the SyncStation.
