Hi All
I am seeing the commercial of New 6708 busines phone since last few days. But I am not able get specs in forum nokia site. Could anyone know the specifications of the device?? Today in some TV show, I came to know a strange thing about it. That is it is rebatched 'BenQ P31'???
Before this i was able to catch almost all devices in this forum atleast before its launch in india. Y not the same with 6708?? Is ir a BenQ device??

Yep saw the 6708 with Touch screen! First thought that it does not support Java app and thats why it was not listed in Forum Nokia. But have seen in this link http://nokia-asia.com/nokia/0,,86612,00.html#ja that it do support Java apps.
BTW, came across another link claiming that 6708 is manufactured by BenQ http://digitimes.com/news/a20060524A9049.html

The 6708 is a regional product for the Chinese language market manufactured for Nokia by an OEM, Original Equipment Manufacturer, that Nokia has not chosen to name.

It is a Symbian OS 7.0/UIQ 2.1 based product.

The 6708 was announced some time in October last year.

Take a look at this chart:

I guess it is not only for Chineese market, but for the whole of Asia as it is listed in Nokia-India, Nokia-Asia, Nokia Singapore and so on.

That is the reason why P31 has been removed from device list in BenQ global site.
