Water and dust. Two things you just don’t want to have getting inside your mobile phone. Weekend warriors will be happy to hear that the new BenQ M7 will put up with their water-borne and dust-filled hijinx in stride. The BenQ M7 features a 2 megapixel camera, forward-facing video-call camera, GPS, tri-band GSM radio with 2100Mhz UMTS, Bluetooth, and a GPS module - all packed into a package that BenQ says is resistant to dust and water.

Now, we’re sure this thing won’t make it through a sand-blaster or a dunk in a swimming pool, but the occasional splash or roll in the dirt shouldn’t be a problem. With a built-in GPS module and resistance to dust and water, it seems that this mid-range (it has GPS, afterall) BenQ M7 is going for the “sporty” crowd. We guess that carbon fiber-esque (read: fake) front-face is supposed to appeal to this demographic.

Pricing and availability are not yet known.

BenQ T33 music phone

Here’s a decent phone for all you guys and gals looking for a not-that-expensive handset that can also work as a music player. Aside from the mentioned music player that supports MP3, AAC, and AAC+ files - the BenQ T33 also boasts an FM radio, dedicated external music control keys and an ability to display lyrics for those who want to sing along. In addition, BenQ made sure music playback works even if there’s no SIM card inserted.

Other specs include 2 MP camera that can take both photos and videos, as well as the standard microSD memory expansion slot. We’ve no idea how much the BenQ T33 will cost (although we’re quite certain it won’t cost much), nor when and/or where it will be available…

BenQ E72 announcedIt’s kinda good for consumers when companies are struggling and they have to innovate even more. Not that BenQ’s latest E72 smartphone brings much innovations to the world of Windows Mobile powered devices, it’s just that it looks like a fashion phone, yet packs all the cool features of a smartphone.

The BenQ E72 is a GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz device that runs on top of Windows Mobile 6 and also packs 2″ screen, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and WiFi wireless connectivity, and of course the standard microSD memory expansion slot. As for the preinstalled software, there’s some kind of universal IM client that works with all major IM networks (AOL, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ and Google Talk), RSS reader, and other standard software which comes with Microsoft’s mobile OS.

All in all, the device looks slick, has tons of features and is even more expandable with any of the numerous 3rd party apps. Too bad only selected countries in the Asia Pacific and European regions will be able to try it out this Q4…

It’s not the most feature-packed media-centric phone to hit the market, but the BenQ C30 is definitely an interesting contender in the lower-end market. We’re talking GSM radio, 0.3 megapixel camera, built-in FM radio, microSD, MP3/AAC/WAV playback, and 1.8 inch display, and those dedicated music controls.

Take a look at this sneak peak of a mobile internet device from BenQ. The guy in the vid is Uday Keshavdas, Intel consumer marketing manager.

The interface and touchscreen are reminiscent of something else that we’ve seen recently. We just can’t put our finger on it. Hmmm, what could it be?
