BenQ-Siemens A58: which is the genuine article?

Alright, Engadget Mobile readers. Time to put your thinking caps on. BenQ-Siemens appears to be trying to announce their new business-oriented tri-band phone, the A58. They're having some trouble doing that, though. The folks over at Slashphone have pictures of a no-frills candybar, clearly labeled "A58." BenQ-Siemens' site itself also has an A58 which looks nothing like Slashphone's. Could it be that BenQ-Siemens posted the wrong pictures? To us, the official pics look an awful lot like the CL71 we first told you about a few months back. At any rate, their specs appear to jive with one another; expect a basic "voice-oriented" phone with Bluetooth on the 900, 1800, and 1900 bands. Even if we squint, we can't buy that these are the same phone. Are we missing something?

That slide phone is CL71 and this ugly is A58. Looks like people in benq and siemens don't speak same language!

Both sites seem to show the same phone now.
