I know, right... It sounds like he's gonna use it as a company website host mostly because he's surprised the battery won't hold up to 24 hours with all the bells and whistles enabled haha

Hi Folks, This Phone is the Best out of the Best. I have been using this and i am fully satisfied with its performance and the look as well. This has a Intel Xscale 520Mhz Intel Processor. which is Super fast. I have not faced any problem with this unit. I have used a lot of PDA's n out of all the ASUS P735 is the best. It never gets stuck. Good Picture quality and not bad in sound and it has 3G as well. The only disadvantage of this is it doesn't have a Keypad, But its not a big deal. You get a Keypad on your screen, What more than that! Oh this unit has a flash too.... I just can keep on writing about this unit because i am satisfied 100% where as i have never been with any other models... Please do try this Awesome Phone/PDA out .......... U will Fall in LOVE with it. THE ASUS P735 Nothing to beat it

shaun3230

What have u been using the P735 for?

cool_doctor

Its sad that some of the users of this phone find it bad because for me, out of all the PDA phones i've used this one proved to be the best.

mhike8616

i used this fon for some quite time and im having a hardtime because it does not have a keypad, i was thiking before that having no keypad is an advantage, but i was wrong. i cant use my fon during driving, hehehehe. i terms of pictures, poor pix and vidz as compared to nokia. maybe i can rate it 7/10

mikesia

great phone. seems i can do all with this phone. i could change ring & message tones, even change themes to iphone. qwert pad can be replaced by phone pad to be text friendly

Robert

It's one of my Favorite pda phone. it has the fastest processor unlike htc and O2. and best because it's windows mobile 6.0.

Eric

I'm writing this not for saying bad things about this phone ... But this phone really sucks ... Can't change the Messagge Tone , Alarm Tone ... All Sucks ... I regreted buying this damn phone ... Arghhh ...

this has to be one of the ugliest phones.. horrible design

Warren from Australi

This is an amazing phone. I have had an O2 XDAII mini for 2 years and finally needed an upgrade. I hate the qwerty keyboards and wanted a PDA/phone combo that was similar to the O2 XDAII mini that i had. The requirements were: - small and light - no qwerty keyboard or phone pad - RELIABLE - good features: 3G if i need, WIFI if i need, etc So i was looking at this asus p735 and the O2 atom life. i really liked the atom life as it looked fantastic and had a heap of feautres. but, unfortunately i found reviews that absolutely canned it for a lack of reliability. this is a big issue for me, as my XDAII mini was waht i would consider reliable yet was in the service centre for a month for a buzzing speaker and because the microphone stopped working. Not going to go down that road again. I came across many reviews of hte P535 but not many of the P735 as its a relatively new phone. This (P735) is the only P-series ASUS phone available to the australian market. So how do i rate it? fantastic! its fast as hell and all the mentioned features work amazing. no hang-ups, no issues whatsoever. exactly what i wanted from a phone. if it had GPS then it would be fulyl feature-packed, but as i already have GPS hardwired into my car i don't need it. the only thing that i first noticed on day1 was that the battery drained fairly quickly. so, i turned off WIFI, bluetooth, put the CPU into power-saving mode, and switched the phone to 2G mode (regular mode) and suddenly the battery lasts 4+ days :) I have never written a review before, but i felt that i had to share this positive experience as the reviews i had previously read helped me to decide on this particuler phone. I got it for $649 from Organiser World (in melbourne ww.ow.com.au) and it came in the box with 2 batteries, a leather case, and all the usual goodies. plus a 2yr factory warranty.

Pete

This is a very bad phone, no where close to quality of Nokia/Motorola/Sony. Battery Life very poor, last only for few hours, Wi fi manager - extremely unfriendly,speaker quality - again very bad. It keeps hanging, at least twice in a day. I feel cheated, there is no service support in Bombay (India). After 3 months of usage, one day it suddenly died & is beyond repairs. PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON ASUS PHONES. Buy any other brand but not ASUS

cckueh

i own a P735 for 3 mths....its sucks....always hang....battery life is short...less then 24 hours on standby mode ...... 3 times i send back to vendor.....now i change to ipnone....(my point of view of what i been through) no offend to ASUS lovers....

RT

Just got the phone this yr.. there are some good and some bab points about this phone. Let me start with the bad points: BAD: they dont seems to hv reminder for missed text message, and the maximum text size is quite small . It will take a while to learn the functions but after that it should be a breeze..... Good: Generally all functions are good to use ,running on Mobile 6. with hand recognition. I would give this phone 9 / 10

Uma

Some applications are not allowed in the Asus P735 it depends on the compatibility and some applications nid the flash player. I own this phone and I have to say that it just lacks some features not in the Asus phone but the windows mobile 6 SMS tone does not stop unless the tone stop. cannot modify the alarm tone wifi manager is kinda stupid bluetooth manager is kinda hard to manage USB is 1.1 but evrything else is good I say 8.5/10, much better that O2 Atom.

scw

Great phone. But does anyone know why it does hanged 1~2 time a day? My P735 only have Chinese Monter installed. Please help.

the iverall assessment is great. but i dont like the camera, its quite blurred and slow. there's delay and hard to focus

This phone is soooo outdated..

Anonymous

The ASUS founders exercised their experience with the 486 and had a look at Intel's malfunctioning motherboard. Their solution worked, to the Intel engineers' surprise. Intel then tested the ASUS prototype, which functioned perfectly. This marked the beginning of an informal relationship between the two companies - ASUS now receives Intel engineering samples ahead of its competitors.

DanRussel

This Phone is Great No doubt about it. But the Service of Asus that sucks.. until now they cant give me support for my P735. anyone here knows how to reprogram my P735?

Uma

Has handwriting recognition and battery last up to 2 days

mike

does it have handwriting recognition? and how long takes the battery; pls, i want to buy it this week, and i must know

tc

I'm looking for PDA, but not sure which one to buy. Maybe all expert here can give me some advice. 1. What is the different 256M ROM Flash & 256M NAND Flash? 2. So far, any comment on P735 and P535? Thanks a lot.

Uma

For me the Asus P735 is more clear in pictures. With adjustments of contrast, brightness and sharpness you can easily fit a picture to it's best quality. plus with auto focus and macro mode you can take pictures with better clarity. Try this : Use a non-autofocus phone to picture a letter or something small with a gap of 10cm to 3cm an see what happens. If you use an autofocus phone you can still take a picture that close with clear vision. but in terms of memory a 2mp picture from a nokia phone only takes 400kb-600kb of memory while the Asus P735 takes about 800kb-1mb or memory.

I use the N70. both these units have 2megapixels cameras but they say that p735's video and picture quality is much lower than N70. Is this true? Thanks!!!

clueless

How do i install new applications to this thing? help. I have no idea what to do

Uma

To all who use this unit and Use Bluetooth headphones or headset. Do you experience a scratching like sound following the voice of an music? or an annoying noise? it get's louder and louder if the connection of the bluetooth is momentarily faded? If yes please register you product to Asus and file a formal complaint for an FIRMWARE UPGRADE.

Uma

Someone is voting very low for this unit, I use the Asus P735 and I give it a 9 for design 10 for features and 8 for performance. But please don't vote all 1.

Can someone tell me about battery life? everything else is worht nothing on it if battery life is short...

Asus P735 user. help I downloaded the GSPlayer for great sounds but the problem is that it does not support my bluetooth headphone (motorola HT-820) everytime I press play on my headphone the windows mobile player is the one playing. Is there an freeware mobile player with equalizer that supports bluetooth headphones? please post the site here. thanks

soo

P735 does not has internal GPS device.. but it does come with external bluetooth GPS device. About the numberic keypad.. it can been used to key in number like normal phone and also able to search name in your contact list.. this numberic keypad doesnt support typing sms.. u have to use the virtual qwerty keyboard that been provided .. if u need bigger qwerty keyboard on screen u can download from SPB software. from soo

Uma, you can download t9 on the internet, i am currently using an asus p735 its great no hanging, no freezing, i just hope that they can really promote their products better here in the philippines.

Uma

Hello I'm a current user of the Asus V80 here in the philippines, and I am planning to buy the P735. It's supposed to be P526 but unfortunately it has no Wi-FI. I have some questions about the P735 1. How about the text input can you input via a large numeric keypad on the screen? - if no, can I install a program to put a large input numeric keypad for text input? - Or what are the interface in putting texts.

Thomas

I've got a question: Does the P735 contain the GPS module?

To Mr. Matugas: Try to go on Wellcom. Wellcom is only the sole distributor of ASUS in the philippines.

SeF

Jon: so you're only of those former nokia users in the philippines. i myself have tried many nokia phones, and i thing i have been proven is that they lack the quality they have before. so i switched to another brand and was very satisfied.

Jon

To f4pr: Nokia is the SUCKEST fon now a days among those prestigious brand in the world. Nokia does not worth the money buying. If you buy nokia, after 3 to 4 months, your fon value will drop 40%. Nokia fooled so many people especially here in the Philippines. Besides, features always just the same, they just changed the physical appearance. Does not make so much difference!!! Asus is a great fon and worth buying considering the lower price compare to others and also the great features. I am using this fon, its damn pretty fast. Especially when u watch movie file that will never skip even a split second. NICE processor and resolution is better than HTC's.

worst pda i ever used. Try HTC / Dopod (1st choice) and then O2 (2nd choice)if u must have a windows mobile device. For symbian, Nokia is king.

its really great phone with great brand, too bad not all know about the asus brand... i've been using asus laptop, since then i've always look for an asus brand, have an asus phone, the earlier version, V66 and im really satisfied with it... mp3, video, and expandable memory that i can upload, what those Nseries are bragging for... plan to have the P735...

it's just great !!!!!!!!!!!the best phone i ever had( i even had the n series from nokia) and till now it's the best one

can a blind man use this mobile phone

heres some news P526 from Asus will be launched at CeBIT this year. it's ASUS first Windows mobile 6 handset with a 6708 like design but more powerful features including GPS etc.

ken19

blame the sellers who are pretending to have know-hows even they don't and is somehow donot care to their valued costumers. asus is always a good company. as the guy below said, the personels who are foolish and their nevercaring, poor service must be blamed... they are just ruining the name of a great brand to promote nokia as the best quality... stupidity

Jon

Dopod / HTC has same problem with Asus if Asus really has those irresponsible management. They(irresponsible personnel) should pay for the damages. Anyway, the units are SUPERB.

iceberg

hey you guys,no matter what you say about this n that..... I have 1 comment and only 1 comment???? asus phone is great since i've been user of ppc since time immemorial. but the way people handling this asus over the store here in the phils, IT SUCKS..... I'm not saying the unit is'nt good but the marketing people as well as the people handling the technical doesn't even know what they're saying. their services is even worst than all d store here offering different brand. My point here is people handling this unit especially those directly involved in the distribution, don't actually care if you're encountering problems or the unit you just bought a couple of days ago( less than 1 week off couse) is factory damage. This guys have the guts of telling you " well since you bought the deffective 1 and you have paid for it. ITS YOU'RE DAMN PROBLEM" considering it was a warranty phone. all my years of using pda, smart phone and even high end phones. I've never encountered such a blunt,irresponsible,never damn care attitude towards this very people of which i bought from. I'm really sadden by this development. It's a waste of time you know, knowing that this phone offer a lot potential but the way they handle this mktg.people really turned me down. this people of which I'm saying came from S M edsa. wellcome store... the next time i'll buy asus. this will remind of my experience. remember despite all of this. I've never lose my composure, instead i'd went to the main office in makati. this people of which i'm saying doesn't even want me go directly to their office. This people in my opinion should be relived from work or fired.....

ken19

of all the IT Brands i have seen, used and tested. i can say SE and ASUS makes the mark on the users sweet spot. never mind nokia. it's just overkilling it's own market. SE gaining several awards at all parts of the world especially the heart of the users and it's dedicated fans and past nokia users. ASUS as the best together with the brands GIGABYTE and ECS etc. HTC? nice but most of the phones have similarity in designs? and have a news that HTC wants to combine with SE.-- no way!!

PPC-DOC

i had several HTC pdas,xda mini ,mini s,exec,and neo. none and i mean none can compeat with the quality that has been produced by asus (p525), speed, camera and performance kills all HTC devices from xda mini to the htc tytn. please ,please dont compare nokia to pdas,totaly other liga. ppc runs windows mobile 5,6,7 and some nokias runs symbian 7,8,9. totaly other OS other caracteristics. p525 the device is unique with keypad and touch screen and powerfull cpu and design winning awards. and the best to come from asus p525 was the beginning of new era,check the xda atom life,xda flame with nvidea graphic ship,graphite,and p735 and p535 .... asus is the best and the biggest motherboard manufecture since beginning of computer,so expect power and pray for good designs. asus will swallow htc (no doubt). allready began to kill htc ,by making contract with o2 asia ,no more xda made by htc it will be xda made by asus(in asia). PPC-DOC

Harsha

I like this phone waitng for similar models like p505

mark

I own a p525 and was thinking about purchasing the p735 if the pegasus isn't released by mid year. What's all this talk comparing the p735 to the n95?? I've owned every n series from nokia except for the n95, n92, n93i.. and I have to say that the n series has been nothing but a bust.. What purpose does a phone serve if I have to keep updating firmware just so my text messages won't take 5 minutes to send. And as far as resale value, nokia is the worse. I am happy with my Asus and intend to stick with the brand. Nokia is overpriced plastic..

John

Don't you guys know that Asus is the one who made Atom Life and XDA Zinc and XDA Graphite. Don't under estimate this thing. I am using this model, pretty cool, as well as P525 and P535. The surface of the fon is kinda scratch proof. Not easily get scratched.

O2 XDA Atom Life the best > Vodafone VPA Compact GPS the good > Gigabyte g-Smart i300 the better > Asus p735 the awful & ugly

Allot of pda's are made by Asus but they are sold under different brands. Like HTC devices

ken19

man please check if your motherboard is asus, you really didn't know Asus brand well. asus together with gigabyte, ecs, epox and msi have the best names in the PC mobos and IT industry. and have a research on asus at wikipedia.com!

Michael

If this phone is anything like their computer equipment then I can definately vouch for their product. Alot of you may not have heard of the name Asus, mainly because it has been in the computer market and not the cellular phone arena. Hopefully, they'll get off to a great start.

fly

actually, at the LYP and Digital mall ive been to, they said asus p525 has the least warranty problems compare to others pda apart from its solid built quality with unrivalled performance speed n power due to its turbomode and these salesman sells all brands on thier shelves. ive personally tested the asus. nokia , pda? lol i think theyr better off with normal phones, really. the n series is a huge quality problem. nobody hype abt nokia's pdas like u kiddies. probly its meant for tht age group, rich kids with big colorful toys n then probly u may get the nokia. n u said uve nvr heard abt asus as a huge reputable brand in the IT n pda b4? then uve not really know tech yet. shame on u to loud in here.

PJ

seems cool,the features are good and asus is a trusted brand

Hasan

I cant believe u said that. You are comparing a Windows mobile ppc with a Nokia??? Let me guess . You've never used a Pocket PC before!!

tech12

dont be such a hater... if you like nokia then dont brag about your phone here... this is a very good phone.. much better than nokia in performance... use your brain not just your eyes.. if you want a high performance PDA Phone then buy this.. if you want to brag about your phone then dont post such pathetic message here!

Anonymous

The Nokia N-series and HTC pocketpc powerhouses plus even the ETEN glofiishes beats this asus featurewise. If you want keyboardless phones than the Apple iphone and Gigabyte g-smart i300 does far better job than this ugly p735. If you really hooked on just the processor take a look at O2 XDA Atom Life. Now you see how crappy this p735 really is.

ken19

as a user who tested and used so many kinds of phones and PDAs, having qwerty keyboard is useless, it's alot harder to type than the software based kayboard in the screen area. i have a software where it can show alphanumeric keyboard, qwerty and azerty layouts of the keypad on the screen and it is alot easy to use than having a real keyboard under the lcd screen. asus and HTC were companies from only one country, taiwan. so both of them were great in making PDAs. HTC for features and ASUS for performance=D.

Jun

With more than 25yrs of expertise & delivering high-quality IT products. IMO, Nokia cannot matched the technological advantage/expertise of ASUS. Ey, nokia IT Dept. what can u say? Even the german automobile maker Lamborghini have teamed-up with ASUS. VX1 Lambo laptop ROCKS!

Bari

love Asus its a good IT company,my Pc is Asus and its the best , but for phones i hope they will be the best but they have to leave Microsoft and make their own software.!!

Vishal

ASUS as a computer brand is a Very big and one of the best. All those who are in the IT industry would be aware about this.They have a good market share in Optical Drives , Mother Boards and Graphics Card. This is the first phone so as time passes they would do well in the phone Business too...

Average phone. If you want a real mean pda phone get a HTC or Nokia!

nick18

personally, i have never heard of asus, so i have no real experience with the past phones, but this just looks ugly, sure it has more processing power than the M3100, but the orange phone, while i detest orange, does look alot nicer, and also comes with a QWERTY keyboard like most smart phones today. there is nothing more annoying than on screen keyboards when you try to type something out!!! it seems that the core features of this phone have been worked through (unlike Moto!) but the little things have had less attention.

mhel

Asus Brand, well its great ill prove it in my self in my pc board,dvd drive, it could last long.And now i have my J208 mobile. Picture resolution? clear as crystal. Compatibility? amazing.. Features it was so great.

ken19

well have some research for ASUS P525 and also the company itself. see how P525 become the fastest PDA as of now.imho you are stucked with the only popular nokia and HTC so you won't have enough knowledge to post some good points but to say unlawful words. please read the rules first before going to be rude boy.

I think this is a more beter phone 2 show off who dont know the name Asus ? and how many people have a Asus phone and this much funtions te screen is a litte bit negative

Aquila Noctis

Why a so good mobile hasn't it got a keybord inside, like Tytn?

good looking phone and more prominent to see touch screen and abt cam should need sum more xtra zoom ==

ken19

ozair: you better read my previous post, first of all, performance wise your mighty(as you say) N95 is just mediocre, it has GPS, 5mp camera and Symbian and blah blah, but lacks full processing power that is offered in ASUS PDAs, if you don't research about ASUS PDAs, P525 is the fastest PDA phone according to benchmark, the Symbian OS is the worst of all OS available in terms of reliability, compared to Windows,Linux, and MAC OS. as i always say, features are worthless if the processing performance is mediocre. N95 looks uglier than this ASUS phone IMO. iphone has the best appeal all in all. jCfE: so you say all consumers need GPS, 5mp carl-zeiss camera, Symbian OS 9.2, 2.6 inch non-touchscreen LCD, and everything? hey boy, you must learn that having every features overexagerated in one phone means nothing but something to brag only to your friends. in ASUS, you get what you pay for, with corresponding quality and performance. in my own verdict, nokia will rush the production of N95 in an effort to thwart the threat the fact that N95's sales can be overthrowned by iphone and prada. i expect the performance result to be very bad again, rushing is the worst attitude of nokia towards global market.

ozair

this phone look good but can;t compare the mighty nokia n95,,it can compare the iphone but not nokia n95... gps 5 meg, just too much for a phone, i mean a world phone not a tri band

Give it up p735 lovers this phone sucks no matter how much the company pays you to get people to look again at what people see as crap. First impression is everything and the general consensus is this p735 cannot do what all other (some available now) all-in-one phones can, does not have what people are looking for and they tell you that straight. You can advertise your big smelly fish but you are still a smelly fish. You should be thanking the wonderful discerning people here for being generous taking a look but there is no satisfying orgasm here folks (imho).

ken19

with this unit: you don't have to buy an: -expensive DIGITAL CAMERA/Camcoder -expensive Audio player -expensive PMP(portable media player) -expensive 3G phone -expensive PDA device it's everything, only SE and ASUS can produce a PDAphone with AF lens, Powerful Media player and flexible handheld computing in one!

ken19

IMO people who judge the features of this phone are extremely bitter.=( ASUS and Iphone just show off Nokia and other phones what should a smartphone should be in performance. just compare it's performance with N95 or any PDAs out there and it'll just beat them like a pulp. features are useless when processing performance is mediocre don't you get that? bashers are so very very bitter.

much better option than the iPhone, unless u need to show off.
