Announced in 2007 and still 'coming soon'?? What went wrong at ASUS? This device is outdated already.

so sorry for asus company....just 64MB Ram for this device?!!!..256 or 128MB is better...other specifications is good...

Goh

you can use a put an 8gb micro sd into a mini sd adapter and insert it into your minisd slot. The adapter is about $15 usd i think

I've got the phone from Vodafone a month ago. Great speed and battery time!I Like the casing, though it is a bit too wide. Bad: Phone speaker - sounds like someone is speaking from the can. Sometimes can hardly understand what person is saying. Also sometimes my backspace/delete button doesn't react in messaging (have to restart)

There's a mistake in specifications of Asus P550. I just keep that one in hands right now, and I can tell you that Asus P550 supports miniSD memory cards, but not microSD!

Does anybody know how to adjust speaker volume during the call? Thanks

I had previously used HTC TY but already traded in. It is no doubt that HTC TY is looked better but the working efficiency is slow, the touch feeling of keyboard is not too good by comparing to Dopod 838Pro, so I was not encouraged to use it that much. Just bought P550, stainless steel cover, big size of LCD and faster CPU are the points make me so impressed. The device is indeed suitable for those guys without much of patience like me who needs to use a PDA phone. Short battery life is the disadvantage of the device for me, so I always need to have spare battery with me.

I was offered this device or the TYTN II for free from my operator. The TYTN II was reviewed by many people, and got great reviews most of the time. Looks like the P550 didn't hit the market yet. which one do you think I should take?

Does anyone know what sat-nav software is compatible with it please?

@lavender 1900MHz (GSM/UMTS) is not supported by all operators. 850MHz UMTS is pretty much AT&T, where other operators use 1700/1900MHz. Even for GSM 850Mhz there are some operators that exclusively use this band in some areas. You will find 1900MHz coverage in most cities and townships, and 850MHz in less populated areas due to its greater coverage. You will rarely see them side by side (from my experience).

Wonder it's really "needed" to support 850MHz in US? Is it possible to use 1900MHz instead? Can't 1900MHz cover 850MHz in most of area in U.S.?

Not quadband or lack of 850MHz is disappointing, that means that US market excluded. It would be THE Phone for me, it has all I need and most important BIG screen, but without 850MHz it's useless in US.

why is that PDA's has only 65k colors? can someone enlighten me....

I like the specs although it looks horrible. I want a large PDA that is also a phone, I can't get on with the tiny screens on most PDA phones and I find the keyboard on my HTC TyTN is a waste of space - completely un-necessary. Don't care about the camera, never use them anyway. I'll probably get one. Key selling points of this model are large screen, no space wasted on a keyboard, fast processor, integrated GPS. I'm sure others do the same thing, but there's not a lot wrong with this device for my needs.

The 3,5' display is not usual, better vision for using it as GPS navigator!

Ravi

Everything looks just as usual!!! WHat is so new about this one and they are announcing it in Dec2007, way behind time guys!

Don't know what most of you guys whining about, so what with 2M camera phone and USB 1.1 and 64 MB Ram? Is it not enough? 1. 2M pixels camera is more than decent, any higher doesn't justified the pixels since ALL of these phones have crappy lens anyway. 2. USB1.1, when you only need to transfer your contacts and agenda, its really moot point between 20seconds and 32 seconds the time it takes for you to sync your Pocket PC. 3. 64MB ram and 256MB mem IS more than enough to install any programs you will ever going to use. If you want to fit extra MP3 into it then store it in the flash memories card. The point is that this phone has updated CPU, Window Mobile 6 pro, GPRS AND GPS, 3G supports WiFi, bluetooth at a decent 3.5" screen that is usable when you use your GPS map. The only thing that is still not clear is the price.

nothing special, just like others

I think it is really cool! What need you a hspd for? It has 3g, it is enough! :)

chiptrix

I'll rush to the store if it sold for $199 ! Won't you ?

It's big, but no advanced feature! wonder who are waiting for it?

Can we use it as a phone?

Regarding why Asus only uses 64Mb ram is to conserve energy, thereby having longer battery life.

rose

I'm disappointed. Small Ram and no edge or hsdpa. HTC Blue Angel from 2004 year is better, just because it's cheaper than Asus. Only CPU is advantage

chints

only 64 mb of ram. it will certainly slow down the device even if it has a 520 mhz processor. camera is also poor, only 2 mpx.

Any reason why Asus only uses 64Mb RAM for such phones?

QAy$
