Water and dust. Two things you just don’t want to have getting inside your mobile phone. Weekend warriors will be happy to hear that the new BenQ M7 will put up with their water-borne and dust-filled hijinx in stride. The BenQ M7 features a 2 megapixel camera, forward-facing video-call camera, GPS, tri-band GSM radio with 2100Mhz UMTS, Bluetooth, and a GPS module - all packed into a package that BenQ says is resistant to dust and water.
Now, we’re sure this thing won’t make it through a sand-blaster or a dunk in a swimming pool, but the occasional splash or roll in the dirt shouldn’t be a problem. With a built-in GPS module and resistance to dust and water, it seems that this mid-range (it has GPS, afterall) BenQ M7 is going for the “sporty” crowd. We guess that carbon fiber-esque (read: fake) front-face is supposed to appeal to this demographic.
