The BenQ Siemens SL98 cellphone is truly unique as it takes the slider form factor and turns it upside down by working in the reverse. When closed, the SL98 somewhat resembles the Samsung Upstage, featuring a single-line display on top and a standard numeric keypad at the bottom. The larger display is located near the rear which requires the user to slide it upwards. I’m not sure how much of an impact doing things the opposite way will make, but the SL98 is bound to wow whoever plays with it for at least the first couple of minutes. Specifications are rather mediocre with a 1.3 megapixel camera, a microSD memory card slot, Bluetooth connectivity and a QVGA display.
