  • it's not a good phone! don't buy it. i bought it 6 months ago and now my battery doesn't work. i called for assistence but they didn't know where i could call somebody for tecnical assistence...it's a disaster

  • latest tecnology no.latest specification no.you must not buy.this telephone is awful.

  • Bought this S700 one week ago. SMS is poor, no german T9 (ITap), using ABC-mode is very slow, cause the polling-rate of the keys is bad. No possibility to receive a longer split SMS, in this case, only the first SMS is being displayed. The rest of the S700 is perfect, good camera, good sound, mini-sd-card works fine, video-performance is good. Regards, zilgorn

  • Can anybody tell me wether the camera is a CMOS or a CCD one ? which size ( pxl) is the 30 images/sec video ? Thanx

  • The ratings for this fone are 50/50 good and bad but I took my chances and bought this phone to find out its GREAT! I love it very small stylish and original it has everything I need + plus MP3 songs can be your ringtone, video quality is very nice. Only one question if anyone can help Where can I get a car charger for this is there one compatible from another manufacturer?

  • the phone works great for me and has not crashed or anything like the other guy said.. over it's pretty good!

  • can anyone tell me how I can update the menu so it's in german?

  • This phone sucks, it crashes, often has a dead pixel or two and has the age old BenQ problem of "Battery too cold" error message. Plus to top it off i had a customer the other day whos phone didnt actually come with a charger, and it was still sealed from the factory!

  • This phone fascinates me! I wanna replace my nokia with it. Will the transition be difficult? Is it available in malaysia yet?

  • I am Sean.from Taiwan,If you have any problem about phone or Taiwanese ,welcome to email me ,we can make friend ..and I want to post so news about s700 but i don't know this homepage's rules can or not

  • the reason i want a benq s700 is cos the interface and camera quality is supposed to be better on this version than the o2 x3 version and it is also bundled with a mini sd adapter.

  • hey can anyone tell where to get this great phone in either black or blue ? how much is anyone selling it for ? the o2 x3 is now going for �100 on ebay which is really cheap and i was wondering if i can get the s700 for between �100-�150 ?

  • Great Phone, been watching serial episodes of various programs on the bus, with the head set in of course. Can't knock the quality. Just one problem --- What codec / encoder does the thing use when recording video --- it plays well stuff done using Nokia's Multimedia Converter but can I hell get any video it records played on my PC. Grumble.

  • hi all. does anybody know which one is selling in hk? the s700 or the X3 from O2? thanks

  • MP3 can transfer to ringtone ???

  • I had seen the a500 camera quality and it was very good. If this will be better it will be a very good cameraphone :D

  • With the S700, you can enjoy the 30 frames per second video that is used in projecting movies at theaters. Can you imagine that? S700 is a really good mobile phone !! And I believe that BenQ will bring more good mobile phones to us.Just wait and see.I love BenQ !!

  • To user in below: Anyone must be curious for why S700 and 02 have almost the same design.... well basically, they are the same phone.. but the Phone is made by BenQ not O2... O2 and BenQ are doing this base on sale strategy... S700 almost sale in Asia market, 02 x3 is responsible for Europe market. This case is like Sharp & Vodafone ~~

  • Is O2 and BenQ flip phones sharing the same casing??? Because there are now 2 flip phones frm BenQ tht looks like O2. E.g. look at the Benq S700 and the O2 X3 also BenQ S670C/660C and the O2 X2!

  • I just bought a BENQ S700, and the camera function has a rather large drawback--under incandescent light, a whiter spot, like a fingerprint, appears in the middle of the camera image. This doesn't happen under fluorescent or natural lighting conditions, only under incandescent light. Anyone heard anything about this?

  • Can this phone be bought anywhere in the UK

  • If anybody has for sale a phone like this pls email me! I can buy 10 or 20 pieces if the price is right!Email me!

  • BenQ is the fourth mobile phone manufacturer in the WORLD

  • Taiwan Taiwan is the country where produce over 85% (including OEM & ODM) notebook and 90% motherboard in the world..

  • To what country does BenQ belong to?

  • benq is the largest dlp projector manufacturer in the world.

  • Hey... There is nothing wrong with BenQ.. If u don't like, just choose anything alternative... Don't blame for it~~~ In my opinion, O2, Vodafone... are ugly marks too~~ Tell u a truth, BenQ is the 2nd largest LCD manufacturer in the world~ His products are including Mobile, electric appliances, Computer(Desktop), Laptop, Digital camera. Who can make STN quality similar to TFT? BenQ Who's phone(S700/X3) that sell under O2 mark attract everyone's interest? BenQ Who is largest suponsor in Euro-Cup? BenQ Any award that BenQ ever gained? National Quality Award (Taiwan) So Mr. Anti BenQ~ Is BenQ sux now?

  • There is nothing wrong with BenQ. They are a solid brand, just trying to break into the European market under the O2 name. (See the O2 listing for further info.) The S700 is a great, feature packed phone.

  • What exactly is wrong with them then?

  • You are right Kevin(under). It's a bad business. Do not buy a BenQ. There are many better marks than this mark. And Benq look likes ugly. And they are not professionaly, because they are a new mark. Thank you.

  • shane go read the o2 x3 forum!

  • Pics of the x3 - any1 know where to find some?

  • OMG, What a beauty! How much do you guys reckon it cost?

  • Just incorrect info.......... it's not exactly mile different in relation to the dimensions is it? 0.5mm here or there is nothing. It's the same phone.

  • BenQ"S700" IS O2"X3",Where I can buy BenQ brand Phone?such as s670 or m300 .

  • thought as much

  • if the S700 is the same as 02s X3 can someone please explain to me why all the dimensions are different and the standy times?

  • It hasn't. (And this is the BenQ postings, see O2 X3 for info.) 16th is for O2 shops. Earlier than that for online sales.

  • dunno

  • the o2 x3 has sudely changed from 2nd august to 16 th. WHY?

  • It's the same phone, O2 are selling it under licence.

  • how come it look 100% like O2 X3 ????

  • Exactly! People are as usual claiming they have a phone which isn't released yet, and they can't prove they have it or where they got it from. See O2 X3 for further details....... 2nd August release......

  • released in august as x3 i think

  • Yorkshire........Where did you get your phone from???

  • I have this phone and its brillo. it is smaller than the smallest phone i had (motorola v50) and that was very small!

  • It'll be released under O2 branding as the X3, (also shown on this site.) It is supposed to be released "Summer 2004", but as of yet nothing more than that.

  • where can i buy this from from at the moment and wen will it be coming out in the uk?

  • Elegant & handy cellphone with alot of nice features.
