BenQ-Siemens have been showing off their new BenQ-Siemens EF51 mobile phone....in the bath! The EF51 was first announced at 3GSM, and is another mobile music phone from BenQ-Siemens, with dedicated music buttons and quite a good, clean design.

More pics of the BenQ-Siemens EF51 after the jump.

BenQ-Siemens EF51 mobile phone

Dedicated music buttons are all very well, but you also need mobile phone buttons to, well, make a phone call!

The EF51's buttons are hidden behind the music buttons, which fold down to reveal the usual phone keypad.

Unfortunately, these buttons look just a little, well, cheap. This may be why BenQ-Siemens chose to show off the new EF51 in a bath...with an attractive girl not wearing an awful lot!

The BenQ-Siemens EF51 shows promise, but you might want to stick with Sony Ericsson's Walkman phones if you want a classier music phone.

MobileMentalism is a blog dedicated to the disconnected. The focus is primarily mobile phones, but will clearly shift as the technology itself evolves and morphs, swallows other devices (mobile MP3 player anyone? digital camera?), and expands into different sectors (gaming, sat-nav, banking). Mike Evans is a lecturer in Computer Science, specialising in social computing, and devotee of the mobile gizmo. I’ve conducted research for Orange, developed Java apps for a now-defunct computer games developer (bless that dotcom crash!), and am currently working on a project with a mobile services company.
