Benq Qube
Release year: 2005
Benq Qube is a dual mode UMTS/GSM cell phone with a design that strongly resembles Nokia's 7600 model. As its most important feature we highlight a 1.3 megapixel camera, in line with the trends of Asian manufacturers to equip phones with increasingly sophisticated CCDs, and also the ability to play and record sounds with a novel technology called 3D Sound.
