Mobile-review.com Reviews the BenQ/Siemens P50
Here's a new review of the BenQ/Siemens P50 - the device that got delayed again and again and again and again. It seems like a solid device overall, but the lack of Windows Mobile 5.0 may be a deal breaker for some of you. Check out Mobile-review.com's write-up and let us know what you think.

You know, ironically, the lack of WM5 is not as much of a deal breaker to me as it was before!
Especially if you are in a corporate environment. There are still plenty of apps that work only on 2003 and the speed to get the WM5 versions out has been horribly slow in some cases. Yes that will change, but with the life cycle of these things being so short sometimes, if this is a good functional device, then the biggest draw back is the lack of persistent memory you get with WM5

This phone just will not go away. Why couldn't these people update this phone instead of playing the Palm game and keep coming up with the same product (Palm OS 5.x) over and over. I mean, this was announced like 2 years ago and it's still running three year old OS. Naw, I'll pass. I'm happy with my PPC 6700 thank you.

Yes, the old OS seems to be the only flaw(?) to me. As said above, had it got WM5 this device would have been a keeper
