BenQ M100
BenQ M100 Overview: The BenQ M100 is a 2004 model mobile phone which is compatible with Rogers Wireless and Microcell Fido. It operates on the frequencies of GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900, For this phone to be able to operate on Rogers Wireless or Microcell Fido, if not purchased at the respective retailers, one must make sure this phone does not have a sim-lock and ensure it is unlocked. Additionally, if you are looking to use this cell phone on T-Mobile, AT&T or other USA GSM carriers, there may also be no carrier-specific sim-lock.

BenQ Company Overview: BenQ Corporation is a Taiwan-based company specialising in the manufacturing of computing, communications, and consumer electronics devices.

Audio Playback: The BenQ M100 does not come with an MP3 player. This phone comes with built in polyphonic ringtones, which means you can download simple MIDI files from the Internet and upload them through your phone, or simply download them via GRPS (if GRPS is built in). We do not recommend purchasing polyphonic ringtones from pay-per-use services such as television commercials, because the M100 is capable of receiving them as MIDI files which are common on the Internet.

Video and Picture Taking: The BenQ M100 does have a camera.

Messaging and Internet: The BenQ M100 is capable of surfing the Internet with the built in browser of the phone. Unfortunately, there is no MMS capability.

How do you rate the M100?    



This mobile phone should work on the Canadian networks of Rogers Wireless and Microcell Fido given there is no sim-lock currently activated.

Additionally, this mobile phone should also function on the US-American mobile networks of Cingular and T-Mobile and International GSM networks.
