BenQ to sell phones equipped with Google software

By

BenQ Mobile continued a product offensive on Wednesday designed to show it has shrugged off problems inherited from Siemens, the owner of the mobile phone business until last summer. Showing off six new phones and a phones with Google software it seems that BenQ is heading in the right direction.

The company showed off six new multimedia handsets, taking its number of new models this year so far to 12, and said it had done a deal to sell phones from April with preinstalled Google software for local information searches. BenQ Mobile, a unit of Taiwanese technology group BenQ, also said at the CeBIT technology fair it would start selling handsets in April that could download software upgrades over the air, eliminating the need for customers to connect to the Internet or take their phone into a shop for updates.
