CNET.co.uk judgement:
The BenQ-Siemens EF81 is a good phone with lots of features. Overall, the phone feels good and sturdy. However, the 2-megapixel camera is not only impractical because it faces you when you open the phone, but it also doesn't take good photos -- it doesn't bear comparison with the Sony Ericsson K750i
