Overview

BenQ P50

Editors rating
Rating: 7.0
Verdict

A long delay between announcement and UK availability means that BenQ's P50 connected handheld now looks somewhat long in the tooth. Although it has some good points, many may wish to wait for the recently announced Windows Mobile 5-based P51.

Typical price

£ 329
