Asus P835 - User Reviews

  • pls i need ur assistance,cos my device is not in english language but i manage to change some to english , my problem now is that i perform a master reset on the phone and im having problem in calibrating the screen,please help me out thanks

  • i use this mobile i dont know how get pic in second camera? pls

  • I havn't seen this cell but my Expireance thing this is a very nice cell

  • It is a good phone...till now haven't had any problem with display...performance is good...would have been better if they would have used marvell 800mhz of P565 coz that is amazing...have issue with the battery life as it doesn't even last for a day :( overall a good deal to buy

  • Why Asus is still sticking with those old 65k colors,when Nokia and other brands are using 16m colors screen?

  • the asus p835 which i bought from noida, india. also has the same problem of defected touchscreen, it has been replased two(2) times already. it should be corrected by asus or should replace the handset by another model.

  • I Bought this phone in July'09 and suffering since then i already got complete replacement twice and over that touch screen has been changed thrice. No resale value for this unit and Asus is not at all cooperative in terms of service and customer satisfaction. My phone lies with service centre for weeks together and Asus do nothing to upgrade it also. In Short not a good choice to buy though how lucrative the features are. I beleive Asus should be the last choice to rely upon.

  • Hi all, I need a battery cover for my asus p835. If anybody has one for sale, or a non-working phone, please let me know! Thanks, Ender

  • Hi. I baught this phone from China and got windows loaded in english. Overall phone working is ok except below: 1. At reboot I get message "file shdesk can not be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components can not be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file". 2. While clicking opera Browser it gives message "file OperaL can not be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components can not be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file". I tried to get the solution from different websites, but failed. Although I have installed Opera Mobile 10 on my devise but I am not sure what is the diff. in Opera Browser and Opera Mobile 10. Can anybody suggest me what should I do to fix above problems. Is windows re-installation is the solution? If yes, where I can get windows re-installed in India. Battery performance is also on lower side. in one charge max back I get is 8 hrs with moderate use, but mail IDs and other applications keep running. Any idea how to increase battery back up. Somebody from ASUS service center told me that software updrage may be a solution. Does anybody has this experience? I want to use GPS navigation software. Please help me to find out the software for India. If free is available , nothing better than that..;-)

  • Hi All, I have bought this phone is april 2009 after that I have upgraded its rom to WM 6.5, I have been using it mainly as gps navigation device which means whenever I use it the screen is on for atleast 4 -5 hours. Battery is weak but with kind of display it offers it seems okay. Everyone seems to be complaining about some touch screen issue ????? I have not yet experienced any till date, this is may be because of the Windows Mobile 6.5 there could have been some problem with WM 6 which was kind of win98 and may not have the capability to handle such high resolution on the touch stuff. sometimes the phone hangs :) nothing new if anyone have ever used anything from micorsoft ;) everything from microsoft crashes, hangs which is part of life. Overall I have no issues with the phone the features given on the phone is unmatched except for a 3.5" headphone socket and may be a fm radio but who cares it has good blue tooth and stereo blue tooth headphones are available for dirt cheap prices. thanks rohit

  • Bought one in Aug 2009, Touch screen messed up in Dec 2009, Got replaced with a new one in March 2010. Overall - Not recommended. Promar complaint - Slow, bad video performance, low on available memory.

  • thx but it has problem with the gps.Waiting for it to fixed it...

  • Asus replaced touchscreen with a new one. So, far it has been working flawlessly since 13/11/2009 :-)

  • phone is ok, though, not great. Customer service at Asus is the worst. Will not buy.

  • the worst phone i ever bought ...

  • Here is the latest WM6.5 ROM:

  • if anyone is planning to buy ASUS please do no buy. it is a good phone - but that is all. the signal is low, the battery drains fast, the phone hangs, i bought p525 and had to keep it because no one is willing to buy even at half price. there are better phones in the market.

  • Hi.. btw where do you found the wm6.5??can you let me know?thx

  • Hi.. btw where do you found the wm6.5??can you let me know?thx

  • Hi I bought this phone in September and since then I have been using this though i had to send it to service center because of touch screen issue however since I installed winmo 6.5 on it its been working fine in terms of performance. I wont say that it is the best phone in its segment but then its kind of ok ok. and yes the battery drains so fast but then that's a normal thing with all the windows phones running WVGA resolution.

  • this is worst worst worst phone on earth. please don't waste money in buying it. i bought for 23k and ready to sell at cheaper price.

  • its good,but price 2nd ..hw

  • Hi, I'm planning to buy an ASUS P835 in India. I am really looking for user opinions / experiences especially on the touch-screen part. I have read a lot of horror stories in the internet over various forums, on how the p835 Touch screen failed completely & stuff. Is this problem rectified? I really like & appreciate most of this phone's features (especially the WiFi sharing), but if it crashes completely, its of no use. Looking fw to all your feedbacks.

  • worst fone in this segment

  • WOW! I want this phone so bad but I keep reading these horror stories, and when I called Asus tech department to try and pick their brains on the matter they told me I had to call Taiwan! I'm in the USA. They said they dont handle the P835 at all. I'm thinking i better pass on this one.

  • Touch screen failed completely on 21Aug2009. Sent to service center and got it back on 8Sep2009. Then on 14Sep2009, my P835 went completely dead, no power.

  • After all the default stuff that Asus has put on this phone the actual main storage left is 30 Mb and actual available RAM is 90 Mb. I find the main storage too low as many apps needs to go into windows folder. This needs to be improved. It will help if Asus can make all the stuff like its today screen optional and installable as CABs for later. Will make the ROM lighter too.

  • its a great pda phone launched in india. with 4gb internal memory and 16gb expandable.many features are included.seems quiet good it should be round about RS 26,000/-.i wish 2 use this phone.

  • MMI works with ASUS P835 you need to edit ordinel.ini to let the software know which gps driver to use bit tricky I wasted 5 days finding this out check ppcwarez forum for this i posted the correct settings there

  • 24 K in India

  • Was this phone only released in India so far? Normaly I import to the US from Hong Kong, but I am not having much luck finding "reputable" online sellers. The 2 retailers listed here say they are not in stock and they do not know when or if they will be in. I'm not even sure they ever actually had them. I'm also not sure if the few I am finding are knockoffs or the real deal. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase one safely!?

  • I do not think MMI works with p835. I installed it and it wouldnt detect the gps receiver. Garmin and POLNAV works on mine for now.

  • Quite good... SO much fascilities in it..USB COnnectivity. all are good Can any one tell the exact price .... thankx in advance..................

  • really verry good phone it has good cpu with good ram making phone never hang

  • It's no so good and expensive. I think, It's worth $300 only for us.

  • When will this product be released in Indonesia ? I hope the price is not over then P552W..

  • Not yet you can manage with one battery. Why one more.

  • Buy from map my India. Great GPS software for this phone.

  • 65k colors is not the game. Check out for vga display. Just great real. Enjoy.

  • It has screen rotating for web browsing and gps orientation. never hangs.

  • just 65k colors??

  • hi here is one intresting thing in that mobile its screen is very big,is having GPS Function,how it will be worked,bcoz company not providing any GPS software with this,,so please suggest where from i get this software for this,other wise its not worth for me bcoz specially is big screen & GPs is there so i bought this phone. please

  • Great display and today screen interface. Decent batter life. Responds to touch beautifully. Feels solid and impressive in hand.

  • I bought this phone recently and the following are the comments: Display: VGA Extremely good treat to watch. Screen: 3.5" Just brilliant Features: No 3.5mm Head phone jack, Sound quality is just OK.(you have treat this as a business phone. Build : Very good. Only problem is back battery cover is metal and makes noise.I have put a cellophane tape. Battery: Please forgive this phone. Driving this large display and software consumes more power. Asus!! Please provide large 2nd battery. Software provided : Full marks. But which GPS shall I use for VGA display. Package contents: Best would be P750 in these terms. No phone car holder and car charger for such a nice GPS capable phone. Processor, ROM and RAM: Perfect and pretty zippy. Price: This would be a better choice of phone when compared to names like HD, Diamond, Hay, its really less and sells for $500 in India. Just grab one. To Asus: Continue to make good phones, add nice items in the package as you used to do earlier, keep up great build, achieve fine finish, please look in to the battery. Best of luck and I will wait for the next Asus Communicator by 2010

  • yes

  • This phone is good, the Samasung I8000 is good, but be smart and choose the Sony Ericsson Satio, the only one 12Mp smartphone!!!And that phone has a great CPU too, 600MHZ!

  • samsung I8000 spec look better

  • does it have auto rotate screen?

  • btw, i've seen alot of people complaining battery issue for smartphones. I have to admit it doesn't last you many days but 2 days is quite common. For this phone, it does last you for 2 days(my usage) and probably you'd like to charge it everyday. Of course you'd like to switch off bluetooth or wifi after you used it. today scren should be turned off b'cos it really sucks. I'd rather not having it at all.

  • I've got the phone with english rom. Compared to diamoned 2, cheaper and have a bigger screen, more buttons. software is not as good. Not confirmed for official 6.5 upgrade. As stated in some reviews, hardware wise is great value buy but software integration is not as good as diamond2.

  • Try Zoop at Charni Road Mumbai or Alfa at Vile Parle

  • Request opinion on 1. value for money, 2. Camera spec and pic quality 3. Ease of usage. Thanks

  • hy atul if u come to know somethin plz forward that information to me also thanks

  • somebody suggest me shd i buy p835 need suggestions plz help

  • Yeah..its available everywhere in India...

  • This phone had been launched in india, its available in Bangalore (Sangetha Mobiles - 25,738 INR ), I used it for a about 30 minutes, the screen is beautiful and images are crisp. Downside is the ASUS Today, its slow for todays standards.

  • Does P835 come with an extra battery in the kit in India?, as i got this mobile but with no extra battery in the kit, could anyone clarify this.

  • Now that the P835 is out and with double amount of RAM what comparision in processing speed between the P565 and P835 be felt. Any first hand reviews or links. Want to buy but cant decide. Confused incase of multitask which will outperform and during single but loaded task what will the performance be life.

  • is office editing available for this phone?

  • im using this phone and its working absolutely fine.No battery issue..no problem with the touchscreen. Its much more better than omnia or HD. Its a great handset to use.

  • last week i just buy this phone and now it broke already because of the screen cant work any more and i cant using the screen to touch the number for calling out and in,what is going on for the asus brand previously asus is a good brand but now becoming more lousy and useless...and i was vary angry when i work in my office...asus phone cos a lot of battery life and the asus today program is hang and lag...on specifications this phone is a good phone but when you using it a wile...it was so bad...

  • hey the handset is being launched in india probably this week, those willing can have one now

  • No Accelerometer sensor? So bad...

  • taiwanese smartphones are really good, even i am japanese.XD

  • iask lastweek rm 2299 at sunway ...with 4gb crd

  • hi.....does this phone got flash for camera?is LED flash or xenon flash?will this phone launch in Malaysia? thanks.....

  • Hey YOU the second battery is the same as the first one, right? And it last as much as the first, second charger in the pack? So I'm using P735 with 1300 mAh, and if I talk like I'm talking with the N-6630 I have, it's down till 2-3 pm. If I use the WI-FI or the Bluetooth hands free it's even worse. When I'm with the cable Hand free and hold the answer/voice tag key on it, it goes into some congested manger is it the same with the device U have?

  • Another heavy weight contender phone from ASUS... Rock Solid, Heart Touching..

  • is this a uk model?

  • no battery life of Asus phone.

  • it is very nice but when it will be in KSA?

  • Been using it for the last week and there are pros and cons. It is perfectly sized and has a gorgeous screen. The built quality is great and having some physical keys help. The lock switch on the side is simply a must for every phone. On the other hand, the lag is getting a little bit too much. It's ok if you are running the generic WM "today" screen but gets laggy once you start using the ASUS Today. Battery is terrible too (although it does give you 2 batteries in the pack). Overall it is good value for the money but can be frustrating from time to time.

  • Hi Guys!!!!!!!!!! i also love asus products. And i liked this phone very much, i waiting for it;s launch in india. U all people are concern about Price then Asus products are worth for it's price. So i m going to buy this phone. Please launch soon in idia.

  • Leather design,very good.

  • very nice.wait it!

  • great fone!

  • abs stunning

  • No pictures ?!!

  • just !!!!W0W!!!!!!!

  • Would have been better if it had an OMAP4 dual core 1Ghz, and maybe a better system than WM6.1 Else it looks very average, nothing different compared to the rest of the WinMo's.

  • No, it doesn't

  • I bought ASUS P320 before , now I want to change to this one . Any one can tell me the price of this phone ?? It is 5M pixel camera and 3.5" screen !!WOW !

  • Does it have a 3.5mm audio jack?
