BenQ announces the launch of the BenQ C36 music phone, successor to the BenQ C30, with enhanced multimedia functionalities, upgraded 1.3-megapixel camera and a spacious 2″ LCD display perfect for viewing photos and videos. The unique top key design brings direct access to FM radio, MP3 player and camera function faster, and easier with more ease and fun.

Weighing a mere 78g, the BenQ C36’s spacious 2″ LCD display is perfect for viewing photos and videos. The C36 makes the most of available space, fitting in a big 2″ screen. It’s perfect for viewing photos and video you can take with the C36’s new upgraded 1.3- megapixel camera—which can also do double-duty as a webcam when connected to your PC. The cluster of controls on the top end of the C36 also gives you one-button access to photo shooting. The upgraded 1.3-megapixel camera supports AVI video recording and playback, and can also do double-duty as a webcam when connected to a PC. The music phone’s powerful multimedia functions includes a built-in FM radio with recording and schedule recording functions and a MP3 player supports MP3, WAV, MIDI and AMR formats.

The C36 music phone also adds an e-book reader and a photo editor for touching up photos. It also comes equipped with dual speaker for sharing music with friends and a handy MicroSD™ card slot and USB connectivity to store and transfer all the music, photos and videos. And to store all the music, photos, video and other stuff, the C36 includes a handy Micro SD® card slot. The C36 puts all these cool features together in a snazzy, streamlined phone with a distinctive lustrous blue accent for key parts like the multimedia controls, navigation pad and camera lens.

The mobile phone gives you not just a rocking MP3 player, but also an FM radio with the ability to record whatever’s on the air. To share the sounds with friends, just use the dual speakers cleverly embedded in the jazzy whorls that encircle the camera lens. The C36 puts all the controls you need right on the top of the phone, so the party’s always only a button press away.
