The great specificaions, I was looking for such a model for a long time. GSM, GPS, WiFi, Qwerty keyboard, simple camera, WM 5.0 with office programs.
The lack of EDGE and UMTS is not disadvantage for me, it is expensive when travalling to other countries and use different operators. Than there is lot of free WiFi access points around Europe suitable for ICQ and SKYPE.
I found only few products with similar specifications, but for much higher price (FS Loox T830, HP iPAQ hw6915, Qtek Dataphone 9100 and HTC P3300).
I only hope, that the release date will not be changed again. In my country it is now november 2006.

Maybe they'd lower the price of the P51 even more considering the competition are all 3G.

P50 runs with Windows Mobile 2003. It had to be this one.

i've seen it here in Egypt sold for around 600$, i even held it for a while, it's slim and look great, but still, i've found out that it runs with windows mobile 2003 SE not wm5.

Noone knows... At Benq forum some say october, others november. Preorders are available so it's got to be soon. Problem is that even at Benq forum Benq itself does not say anything...

Don't wait for this thing, guys. It will be cancelled soon, just go for Treo 750v.

I own Treo 650, but this BengQ-Siemens P51 is the most ideal design in the whole market. I love the built-in antenna and Wi-Fi etc. The screen size is perfect, preferably able to select landscape. I hope the Designers use the established Palm OS or Window OS, and extend the battery life further. The latest ganged-button Qwerty keyboard employ to be the kind like Sony Ericson M600i. This model with slight improvements will surely launch itself to be the next market leader. Well done, I am the first waiting to buy.

Well, I have been looking for a versatile device with on-board GPS and a large enough display for quite some time. I have even made an Excel comparison chart with all the contenders. The P51 seems to me the only one with some *very* important (IMO) points: large display (2.83") with 240x320 resolution in a smallish form factor, GPS, 128 MB RAM (very important for Windows, double the size of the rest), WLAN 802.11g (also very important for me) and attractive price. Lack of advanced 3G Data (HSDPA) is irrelevant, since such connectivity is *very* expensive and with quite limited availability. Windows Mobile 5, although bad as far as stability is concerned, has a lot of features and the most free and commercial software, especially in updated GPS packages.
