"Well performed smart phone, GPS & camera functions"

by peterlau on February 8, 2009

Pros: Full features. Free upgrade WM6.1. PDA, phone, GPS & camera function. Easy switching amongst WiFi, WAP, Blue Tooth & phone, save data costs. GPS works with Google Map & free version amAze GPS. Car mounts, USB ports all provided.

Cons: Key pads works only for the phone (a + for phone use), Customer Support is from Tai Wan and by email only (reply is quick though), Small 64 ram can only run a few programs. Watching youtube is a no go after a few software are added.
Summary: I bought this Asus P527 for $300 on boxing day which was like the cost of an unlocked branded phone. It is an unlocked window mobile 6 smart phone, PDA, GPS (navigation software not included, downloadable free version amAzeGPS works fine) and camera with WiFi, WAP and Blue Tooth connectivity. Firmware expands the storage capacity from 2G to 8G HDSC. After the installation of a few more softwares and the GPS, surfing the net is fine but downloading large picture files and watching youtube streaming video is impossible. This phone has great performance limited only to its 64mb ram capacity. The phone comes with USB adaptors for AC charge, car charge & PC connection, phone case and car mount. In short, it is good value for money and is recommended if large file downloading & streaming video is not a must.
