Hello all, I have had this phone for about two weeks, I have had absolutely no problems with it whatsoever. Granted, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some of the newest phones, but quality wise, construction wise, I have not had a cell phone that beats it, not even comes close. The construction and quality is grade A, typical German ingenuity. I LOVE this phone so far, I have paid higher dollar for phones of lesser, far lesser quality. I can't believe that BenQ Siemens, as a company, had problems with phones built like these. The funny thing is I paid 160 US dollars for this phone on ebay, brand new, unlocked. I have paid 400+ US dollars for phones that were junk compared to this one. For a no frills phone, that has 3G, and for quality that can't be beat, I highly recommend it. Thanks and good luck.

Update the Firmware to version 58 this usually solves many problems associated with earlier firmware versions.

btw, you've got a low price tag for your phone indeed.

To Paeijho, the guy who paid $460 for this: YOU GOT ROBBED!
I got this phone brand-new at $120, everywhere in the world I found it for less than $200.

The light (display backlight) on the EF81 can be adjusted to stay on for 60, 30, 15 or 5 seconds, go into the menu look for Display click on Display and you will find the Backlight Time option, if it stays on longer than 60 seconds after you have made adjustments I would assume there may be a problem with the handset, it may be fixable by upgrading the software.

actually there is one good software management for EF81, it called Brew Mobile Commander, google for it.
it's stable and fast, unlike MPM.

Unfortunately the software SUCKS you will have to get used to it, try installing the software on another computer I found it appeared to work better on my laptop and the strange thing is my main computer has far superior performance to the laptop, I guess it's not a system performance related issue.

I am almost certain you cannot turn the keypad light off, but it should switch off automaticaly after a short while.
