BenQ EF81 - Any Good?

NickM · 25 May 2006 at 14:12

I was thinking about getting a new phone, does anyone have an EF81? Is it any good? I currently have a SE w800i which has lots of useful 3rd party software around for backing it up etc. Is there any for the EF81?
Thanks

I've been looking at it aswell, but it gets nothing more than medicore reviews.
However, if you're looking for a well built, thin, 3g clamshell, I don't think you'll find any better.

Really? T3 gave it 5* and so did the June 06 Stuff Mag. How does it compare to a Moto v3/v3i? 3G isn't a necessity, I am looking for something slim and that can hold more than ~20 txt messages (used to own a v3 before the w800i).

T3, they know nothing

plenty (read all cept cruddy motos) can do that.

Well maybe it was more than 20 but I dont think it was many!
So am I better off going for a v3i then?

Apart from the obvious 3G what else makes it better?
