Good Points

Very girlie for us girls - the screen turns into a mirror. It also has an MP3 player, camera, memory card included, as well as software and a USB lead.
Can record sound to go with photos.
Bluetooth.


Bad Points

It does not play back video files, although you can have any type of file stored. In effect, the phone can be used like a memory stick. If you rename a picture that has a sound file to go with it, the sound file is no longer associated to the image. The sound file is not lost though.
Texting is a little annoying, but it's probably due to me using Nokia's all the time.


General Comments

The Benq-Siemens EF61 Mia is a great mobile phone for under £100.00. It has everything on it except playback of video files.
To include the USB cable with mobile is a must I think; as is the memory card, but to get them all included for this price is fantastic value.
It also includes headphones for the MP3 player. The phone even comes with a removable ladies charm - very sweet.

At least my boys don't want to be seen with it, so nobody takes it off me lol.

Bluetooth works brilliantly, and I have never had any "no connections", and I've always found devices quickly and easily.
If you purchase a hands free headset, this phone even has a radio, which is not mentioned on some write-up features. The volume of the MP3 player is loud, as are the ring tones etc.

I have uploaded camera pictures to my PC, and the quality is excellent.

    I might get this phone- it's my first phone- is it worth it?

    Hi there, how much are you paying for this phone as it has gone down now to almost half the price!
    Approx you should get it now for £49.99 (available in Argos for this price on Virgin).
    For a first phone at this price it is a bargain. As I said in my review you get everything with it, memory card, data cable to connect it to your PC, software disc etc.
    It's only down fall is not being able to play back videos, but is that a necessity to you?
    The camera took great little pictures, use the cable to put them on your PC,
    Use the cable to put MP3s on it too.

    It's a neat little girlie phone, but don't pay full price for it!
