BenQ P50
MobileTechReview has a review up of the BenQ P50 and writes, “The P50 is powered by a 416mhz Intel Xscale processor coupled with 64mb of both RAM and ROM. This is a middle-ranged processor for a Pocket PC and on the fast side for a Pocket PC phone, and can manage most everyday tasks. It feels faster than an iPaq h2210, taking less time to open the start menu etcetera. Playing videos encoded at up to about 600kbps works well, as does playing games if it weren’t for the tiny joystick. You can set the CPU speed to one of three settings: Automatic which scales the CPU depending on how much it is being used, power saving mode which scales it backwards to save power, normal mode which doesn’t scale anything, and optimization mode which scales it up at the expense of battery life. A small flaw is that after installing a few applications, the camera app cannot find enough resources to apply effects etc, and sometimes even not enough to take a picture in the first place. I recommend installing any apps to ROM. The 64mb RAM is a little disappointing for such an expensive device, but the 12mb ROM and SD slot still offer some storage space.”
