There's been some recent interest again in the BenQ S6, originally released in 2008 for the Italian market by TIM. There seems to have appeared a fresh supply of unopened stock, so I picked up a new, unopened box for $60 USD, delivered. Not a bad price for something that originally went for $450-$500 USD depending on the Euro conversion rate, and had people salivating, including me.

With my new MID in mind, I've created this web page to document the customizations and changes I've made to the device. It's taken a fair amount of research, but once I had everything in order, program installs were not that difficult.

Look to the right to see short descriptions and links to detailed steps I took for each link and other information.

I'll continue to update these pages as I install other programs or make other changes.
