Benq unveiled its C36 yesterday, a candybar music phone that is initially headed to Indonesia. The C36 features dedicated music playback buttons in addition to stereo speakers hidden around the camera's lens. The 1.3 megapixel camera also records video, and there is a built-in photo editor on the C36 that allows you to edit your photos wherever you are.
The Benq C36 also comes with a health management application, an e-book reader, and the ability to function as a PC webcam when connected to your computer. Connectivity is handled by dual-band GSM (900/1800MHz) and there is a built-in FM radio with the ability to record broadcasts for later listening. A microSD memory card slot gives the C36 room for lots of storage space.
