BenQ Review

The M100 review is a mobile produced by BenQ. BenQ Corporation is a Taiwan-based company specialising in the manufacturing of computing, communications, and consumer electronics devices.

M100 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.

The BenQ M100 does have a camera.
