  • ASUS M530W in pictures and video

    Filed under: Handsets , ASUS , Windows Mobile , GSM , GPRS , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS Though it's taken a little heat for me-too styling, the M530W "Aries" from ASUS is still a strong contender in its market segment thanks largely to two key features: Windows Mobile 6 Standard and HSDPA. Ahead of a scheduled July debut, PDAFrance spent some quality time with the device, giving it a thorough rundown in both still and moving pictures. How thorough? The video clocks in at nearly nine minutes; yeah, it's in French, but eye candy is eye candy. If nothing else, it's helpful to see the M530W presented alongside its inspiration HTC's Excalibur for the cross-shoppers out there.

  • Aries rising: ASUS M530w at CeBIT

    Filed under: Handsets , ASUS , Windows Mobile , GSM , GPRS , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS ASUS had the Aries on the show floor and we just couldn't resist asking it to say "cheese" and give us a big smile. Reminiscent of devices like the HTC Excalibur and just about every Blackberry, the M530w has a full QWERTY keyboard for your typing pleasure, a huge d-pad and scroll wheel for Blackberry-style play. For connectivity, this half inch thick wonder has triple-band (900 / 1800 / 1900) GSM, 2100 MHz (can you feel the pain? can ya?) UMTS / HSDPA, and of course EDGE. What self-respecting Windows Mobile 6 powered device would be complete without WiFi and Bluetooth to round out a fairly sweet set of features. As a bonus, the placard boasts that the 2 megapixel camera can add contacts using a "business card recognition function" -- cool beans. Click yonder linky to get a peek at its other sides.
