Along with BenQ’s C840 camera announcement earlier today, the company has also unveiled the BenQ C30 mobile phone featuring dedicated media controls on the top edge of the device. According to BenQ, the placement of these controls are in a more convenient spot and make it easier to access when it’s in your pocket.

The buttons on top control music playback and two of them double to control the built-in FM radio and VGA digital camera. The C30 also contains a microSD card slot and stereo speakers so you can listen to your music without headphones.

The camera can record motion video and you can also use it to record voice or record the radio directly to the player and play it back when you want. It will also support playback of MP3, AAC, WAV music files and give you up to 4 hours of talk time or 250 hours of standby.

Like the camera announcement, there was no price available yet on the BenQ C30 but its not likely that we’ll be seeing this GSM model here in the US. Places that do support it should be seeing it available soon, however.
