There r something u can certainly complain about this phone, such as its slowness, but dont worry about its photo quality- even beats some digital camera.

"where to settle", "just not enough", and "her own attention" r the 3 pieces i made w my s88 and some help from photoimpact.

      Hello, this phone very interesting. But I still doubt about it. I wonder to know, if pictures quality which takes by S88's camera is really good? Because when you look at sample pictures of S88 photos in GSMArena (this site), you will find that the pictures is noisy and not sharp.

      Thanks for your information

              This mobile is very comfortable to use.I found lot of option that become very easy and this mobile is so nice.But there is no FM Radio and this is very important in the moment.

                to DhaPhiedz:
                Sorry took that long to respond, I was simply occupied by my GRE (done! yay~ I'm freed)

                I just notice we might have some miscomprehension here, I wonder if ur talkin about the handset or the speaker at the back.

                my prob was about the handset noise, which handn't been a prob big enough for Benq to notice untill I reported it. About the speaker noise, yea its a hardware prob since it started to b made in china. But they found the solution already and if u do get bothered go fix it~ let me kno if they crumbled. you need a fw uprade anyway dont u?

                btw my s88 works perfect now! except they forgot to upgrade my fw to 1.41 (which allows a 2G microSD card usage.)

                    to FMZ:
                    yup that's right,my 1.24 supports no fullscreen for viewing the video..

                    yeah..the 'zzzt' sounds bothered me since i bought it [i bought it 2 days ago..omG T.T] and the noise is gone when i change 1800hz freq..but there's no 1800hz in indonesia's comm provider T.T

                    some elec prob huh?i thought it was a broken speaker..i'm relieved =="

                    well..i'll wait for ur info FMZ..best regards

                    A S88 Fan also XD

                      to DhaPhiedz:
                      That's weird, the latest fw in tw is 1.42 already, i dont kno this kinda thing's not globalized..but my 1.34 works out fine and i think 1.24 supports no full-screen video vewing mode (which is kinda important to me.)

                      about the "zzzt" sound i gotta say i was bothered by it since i bought it. An easy way out is to select "1800Hz only" mode if this freq works out fine at ur residence. But I end up pissed by it and sent it back to Benq-Siemens and they got it fixed.

                      According to them this prob hadn't been reported until recently, its some sort of elec-current prob. Im supposed to get my fixed phone back tomorrow morning and I'll let u kno if this prob's solved.

                      I suggest u go to ur local dealer if u cant stand this noise, and if they can't do anything about it i'll call the BS HQ for u

                        i call the BenQ-Siemens Customer Service & they say dat S88 FW is 1.34 now..but i got 1.24 [indonesia]..wtf!!

                        yeah..a bit slow for all the menu..and i feel a bit strange for the speaker..i usually heard 'ssttt' sounds..like an old radio..is dat a failure of the product or what?! X<

                        the earphone is not too good..omg =="

                        but the OLED display..2MP AF Cam is great! XD

                          humm, my 2G card works fine except the video recordin, which is a prob solved if ur firmeware is newer than 1.41.

                            Very simple first of all, Benq bought the Siemens factory, and they never co-worked together like sonyEricsson thats why you see different software in Benq-Siemens line, Siemens made: M81,El71, EF81, E71, Benq made all the others including tHE S88.
                            I don´t regret buy this phone, Benq software is more stable and less problematic than the Siemens software.

                              The design is cool, sound's great, display not bad,slow, the software suck, but because this is siemens phone, I'm still love it.
                              So, why benq-siemens didn't flood the market with their produck? I-m dissapointed with benq, why they didn't do what sony did when they merge with ericsson?

                                  gud day to all again,

                                  i am now using this phone for more than a year now!
                                  - camera resolution is very good quality. i have compared it with N70 and N73; SEw800 etc.
                                  - sound is also very good compared to other; you can customize ringtones as mp3.

                                  minus
                                  - software is a bit slow compared to SE or nokia.
                                  - bluetooth cannot do wireless mp3 player using BT-headset.
                                  - micro sd supports 1gb.... afraid to try 2gb
                                  - keypads too small.... can't do fast sms typing.
                                  - no firmware upgrade.....

                                      Are there any file size limit for the Bluetooth? Can you create multiple playlists? I would be grateful if anyone could answer these questions.
