Do you ever have a great idea that, when you actually act on it, doesn’t seem like such a great idea anymore? I’m thinking that’s the case with this new SL98 prototype phone from BenQ Siemens.
The idea is to have a phone with a small LCD screen for dialing and text information only to save battery life. When you need a larger screen, you can pop it up from inside the phone. Like I said, it sounds like a great idea, however, this first prototype looks ugly.
That’s not to say that a future revision won’t look nearly as clunky. However, I think that this one needs to go back to the drawing board.

Mmm! Good idea; it protect the screen and the camera lens. I rather like this concept than the Flip one. We’ll see when it’ll come out.

I had many of them and I can say it is crap. Most of people says its design is ugly. Most important information is that LG manufactured this crap. And answer to previous commnet – it’ll never come out because since November 2006 BenQ-Siemens not exist. Software for SL98 is very unstable. Phone great … for only collectors.
