BenQ-Siemens design was always great but they’ve managed to outdone themselves with the gorgeous EF71 mobile phone. With such great looks this phone is already very sexy, but it turns to be even more appealing if you stop and look under the hood.

Besides making phone calls the main purpose of the EF71 is the music playback (maybe even more important than the calls). The ability to listen to music without even flipping the phone open comes to support my prior statement. Moreover on the exterior OLED display you can see relevant informations regarding the songs playing and under the display there is a set of buttons for performing common functions like play/pause and move to next/last song. Music can also be listened from radio stations as the EF71 has a built-in FM receiver, but a FM transmitter also allows you to stream songs from your phone to your other devices.

Besides music the device also provides a good video experience with the included 2MP digital camera that also has the possibility to record video files at 30 fps with the storage capacity as the only limit. And that is a real problem as this capacity is limited to only 24 MB. But a solution is also available as the EF71 includes an microSD slot for expanding the initial memory (to reach a maximum capacity of 2 GB) and a 256 MB memory card is shipped with the mobile phone.
