BenQ-Siemens has come up with a no-frills music handset in the shape of the E61.
I've recently finished reviewing it, and the review has been published by CNET.co.uk.
BenQ-Siemens has certainly put some thought into hardware design. The top mounted music controls are a super idea, as you can reach them easily with the handset lodged in your pocket. But there are some issue too, two directly relating to music playback being the fact headset connector is propretary and that it is located on the bottom edge where it will protrude rather inconveiently into your pocket and may get bashed around a bit. A non music related issue could be the absence of Bluetooth.
It is not all bad, though. To find out what else I think about this handset, read my review here.
