BenQ T60: 8.9mm thick stainless steel clad beauty
by admin on Apr.03, 2008, under BenQ-Siemens
If silver, slim and keypad-equipped push your buttons then you could do worse than check out BenQ’s T60 cellphone, announced today at CTIA Wireless. While it may not blow anyone away with its technical specs – dualband GSM (900/1800) is sufficient for its target markets of Taiwan, Bangladesh and Turkey – it’s the appearance that makes the T60 special; just 8.9mm thick and clad in stainless steel. Still, the 3.2-megapixel camera is better than many smartphones manage, and the QVGA 320 x 240 262k colour display should do it proud.

The T60 should be available in April.
