Asus P505 - User Reviews

  • This phone looks class

  • I did use that smartphone for 2 years straight, and am still in love with it. When that flip is closed, it's a proper phone, with buttons. You call, you answer, you read messages. Now when flip is open, it's a pure smartphone, same that we currently use, with stylus. I was always careful, and never dropped it, so I actually have no idea how fragile it is. But believe me, it made total sense to use it for business purposes.

  • i think that its a nice movil i would like to get one.

  • :)

  • The model doesn't really make any sense. What's the extra added value of having that weird flip over keypad? It breaks easily, it seems very uncomfy to use and basically everything about it is useless.

  • Not good

  • i have asus canott conec to server

  • WEIRD!! but kinda cool

  • do u know sep910i same asus p505

  • can anyone teach me how to upgrade the operating system of p505 win2003 into windows mobile 5 or winmobile 6.0??? pls help me... email me @ [email protected] tnx

  • i really like using this phone instead of SE's P910... though d keypad only gives you numeric function. 1 out of 10, i'll give it an 8...

  • Hi I hav p505 . you can change your os easily . just go to asus website . then go to p505 downloads . then select the os you want and download and follow the instruction . there is just a mistake . when you copy the os on flass memory then restart it as in instruction it takes more than half an hour to install please be patient hodjat

  • I used it for more than 2 years and now I experiencing flip open problem too. When ASUS menu is enabled and the front panel is to be opened, instead of becoming PDA mode, the phone mode (half screen) occurs. Touch screen doesn't reacting even if I disable the ASUS menu. I have to open flip like picture in the left up corner shows, then the touch screen becomes usable. Will not buy PDA with flip again :-)

  • Does anybody know how to change french os to english one? Is it possible?

  • my P505 is only 6 mo. old & experiencing flip open problem. When ASUS menu is enabled and the front panel is to be opened, instead of becoming PDA mode, the phone mode (half screen) occurs. However you can still use the PDA phone by unabling the ASUS menu. The headset is great! Battery is needs to be recharged daily

  • need help !!! I'm looking for ASUS P505 Pocket PC charger because i have one its burned out, where i can find it ?? Thanks for helping me...

  • Hey, anuar, you can't write/install anything in a write-protected sd card. you have to open it (unlock the write-protect tab) so you can copy files to it!

  • really need a help. i just bought asus p505 (2nd hand), i can't install anything in my sd card, don't know why? it appears error code 19. the media is write protected. i've try hard reset few times, still the same. my sd is sandisk 1gb. plz do help me bcoze useless having pda phone without pda function, might as well i just buy simple hset. thanx

  • simple, short life span. warranty useless. this pocket pc phone is disposable, flip cover no spear parts. buy asus P525 or O2 pocket pc phone insted.

  • How can you own something for 2 years if the product was announced on March 2006? The phone is not even a year old.

  • well i m not an expert but i think its better in a sense that its operating system is of microsoft windows

  • my P505 is only 8 mo. old & experiencing flip open problem. When ASUS menu is enabled and the front panel is to be opened, instead of becoming PDA mode, the phone mode (half screen) occurs.

  • This is one of the worst product. Hangs so often....I've owned it for 2 years and it is out of order now. Never...ever...gonna buy this piece of crap....

  • This pocket pc phone is just a crap. i owned this phone in about 6 months now, but the flip cover was damaged and can't use the phone mode. buy SE P990i insted of this. asus P505 keypad is only a numeric.

  • hey sef what do ya think are these ppl not tryin to copy sony ericsson

  • guyz correction,: this p505 comes first than P990, ASUS P505 is released many months after the release of P910i... yeah it resembles P-series of SE but this was awarded as best PDA phone on 2005... and it's got a stable hardware and OS just like the P910...

  • p990 with protruding antenna..what a great idea..wooohahaha...

  • So, this just looks like the p990's smaller and less capable (or "special" as some of us like to say) brother, i would much rather get the sony.

  • this pfone is nice but there is no 3G and it looks like Sony Erricson + Hp. BUt in total its good..... can anyone tell me does it suggest yahoo!! massenger???
