  • ASUS preparing Xda Zest for O2

    Filed under: Handsets , ASUS , Windows Mobile , GSM , UMTS What could possibly constitute a "zesty" smartphone? We're not sure, but if O2's latest Xda device intends to live up to its name, we're going to find out. An ASUS-sourced handset bearing the "GM5 / Crystal / Xda Zest" name just garnered approval from the Global Certification Forum, and as we all know, anything starting with "Xda" is pretty much a lock to see duty on O2 as a Windows Mobile smartphone. Nothing is known about the thing at this point beyond what the GCF tells us, which ain't much: triband GSM, 2100MHz WCDMA with video calling, and -- you'll never believe it -- it supports "browsing."

  • UNVEILED: Asus to launch another 3G Windows Mobile Smartphone called P522

    The GFC (Global Certification Forum) just unveiled another Asus - most likely - Windows Mobile smartphone which will be available in two flavors: as the Asus P552 and as the Asus P552w. Most likely a Windows Mobile smartphone since so far, all Asus P-Series smartphones were based on Windows Mobile Professional (touchscreen). Othen then that, not too much is known except that the GCF confirmed that it will be a triband GSM (900/1800/1900) MHz and singleband UMTS (2100 MHz) mobile phone supporting MMS and browsing. The supported frequencies speaks for a launch in Europe and Asia only: [ Permalink ] (c) 2008 by the::unwired - All Rights Reserved

  • ASUS P560 sports Windows Mobile 6.1, many acronyms

    Filed under: Handsets , ASUS , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS Buried underneath the hoopla surrounding the announcement of ASUS' Lamborghini-branded ZX1 at CeBIT, the more mellow P560 was also announced, featuring pretty much every spec the average WinMo buyer could want these days in a package that speaks far, far less about the car you're driving (or wish you were driving, anyway). HSDPA, WiFi, 3.2 megapixel autofocus cam, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, GPS, microSDHC slot, 256MB of ROM, 128MB of RAM, and Microsoft's freshest build of Windows Mobile Professional -- 6.1 , that is -- all have managed to find their way into the P560's unassuming shell. Not bad, though the €500 (about $772) price tag could scare a few folks away when it launches next month. [Via Navigadget ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

  • ASUS P320 drops by the FCC, you know, just to say "hi"

    Filed under: Handsets , ASUS , GSM , EDGE It's not going to satisfy your unending hankering for 3G, but ASUS' P320 does have at least one thing going for it: it's mighty small. The so-called "Galaxi Mini" first broke cover back at CeBIT , offering GPS, WiFi, and a 2 megapixel camera in one of the smallest Windows Mobile 6 Professional packages to hit the market. Add that to the fact that it's looking a heck of a lot better in black than the sickly mauve the ASUS gals and dudes were showing off a couple months back, and we might just be sold. No word on a release date or whether it'll be officially offered stateside, but with that FCC certification under its belt, at least owners will be able to rest easy knowing that they're emitting only the finest, government-approved electromagnetic radiation available.

  • UNVEILED: ASUS announces two new Windows Mobile Professional Smartphones

    During this weeks CeBIT in Hannover, ASUS announced the latest range of Windows Mobile Professional smartphones, the ASUS-Lamborghini ZX1 and ASUS P320 (which we have seen before already) which are made to captivate the user's attention not merely by their mesmerizing good looks but also their total experience when in use. Designer cuts, touch screen capability, high speed downloads and unique and user-friendly interfaces built upon Windows Mobile software are all present in this new lineup.

  • Tiny ASUS P320 breaks cover at CeBIT

    Filed under: Handsets , Features , ASUS , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE Alongside decidedly flashier announcements , ASUS has also chosen CeBIT to debut its diminutive, modestly-specced P320, a Windows Mobile 6 Professional piece sans 3G that we first spied last month . It's not going to turn any heads, but hey, that's what the ZX1's all about; the P320 is really here to get down in the trenches, get dirty, and get some work done, all while making sure it doesn't dwarf the hand it's in. We'd prefer, oh, any other color besides flesh tone, but thanks to a positively miniature 99 x 55 x 13.35mm outline, 2 megapixel camera, and WiFi, we might just be willing to overlook it. What's more, there's no mention of GPS on the spec sheet, but we're going to venture a guess the necessary circuitry is on board thanks to a side button conveniently labeled -- you guessed it -- "GPS." Check more pictures after the break, or just hold out for a release whenever ASUS gets around to it. Your call. %Gallery-17630% Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Hands-on with ASUS touchscreen M536 QWERTY

    Filed under: Handsets , ASUS , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS Here you go QWERTY fans, ASUS' M536. This touch-screen follow-up to the M530W runs Windows Mobile 6.1 under that 2.43-inch, 320 x 320 display. Inside you'll find 802.11b/g WiFi, 256MB of flash, and GPS. While it sports 3.6Mbps HSDPA on the 2100/1900/850 bands, it's unfortunately limited to GSM/EDGE/GPRS riding the 900/1800/1900 frequencies. As such, we'll bet this one is heading straight to Europe, Statesiders. Our hands-on was brief due to that fingerprint scanner. Still, we'd bet that this business minded handset will come sporting ASUS' own sultry WinMo overlay whenever it does launch. Be sure to check the gallery over at Engadget.

  • ASUS Lamborghini ZX1 propaganda spotted at CeBIT

    Filed under: Handsets , ASUS , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS So it now looks like that rumored high-end ZX1 Windows Mobile 6 Professional handset from ASUS is a lock for a CeBIT announcement, though we're going to be totally honest, we're not certain it's worthy of the Lamborghini name. Granted, we've got to withhold judgment until we get one in our hands, but outside of a Lamborghini badge-shaped nav pad and a speedometer-inspired clock on the home screen, we're not seeing anything special about the darned thing. On the plus side, it's a 3G world phone with HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 and quadband GSM / EDGE, a 3 megapixel autofocus camera out back with a VGA sensor up front for video calling, 256MB of ROM, 128MB of RAM, microSD expansion, GPS, WiFi, and the typical QVGA display. We guess the 13.2mm thick shell is notable, but Lamborghini notable? More on this one as soon as we catch it in the wild. %Gallery-17325% Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Lamborghini-branded ASUS ZX1 smartphone coming to CeBIT?

    Filed under: Handsets , ASUS , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS Long a tradition in ASUS' notebook line, it seems like the storied Italian marque might be making a fateful move from the lap to the pocket. The rumored ZX1 handset from ASUS is said to be a fairly high-end smartphone -- and frankly, Lamborghini should expect nothing less -- with Windows Mobile 6 Professional, a 520MHz core, integrated GPS, HSDPA, and to loosely translate the French source, "all the colors of the Lamborghini brand." It looks like ASUS will be targeting the Touch crowd with this one, too, thanks to an expansive touchscreen that we'd guess will be at least a bit finger-friendly. If this all checks out, we can expect the ZX1 for about €650 (about $963) this summer following a CeBIT announcement. [Via Unwired View ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • The ASUS "Galaxy Mini" -- slow, but small

    Filed under: Handsets , ASUS , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE It's not nearly as interesting as the mighty M930 , but ASUS is prepping another Windows Mobile model that'll appeal to a decidedly different segment of the market. The device, codenamed "Galaxy Mini" and clearly intended to do battle with the HTC Touch , looks to be just about as diminutive as you can realistically expect a WinMo 6.1 Professional device to be -- though the tradeoff is that 3G data doesn't make the cut (you'll have to rely on WiFi for that) and the TI OMAP core mopes along at a molasses-like 200MHz. Other goodies should include GPS, Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel camera, and a selection of colors when it launches for somewhere between 300 and 400 (about $445 to $593) later this year.

  • UNCOVERED: Asus Galaxy Mini a GPS Windows Mobile Smartphone shows its face

    MobiFrance recently got its hands on the "Asus Galaxy Mini" (codename), a brand new entry-level Windows Mobile 6 Professional smartphones from Asus, which reminds somewhat on the HTC Touch Cruise design. However, unlike the HTC Touch Cruise, the Asus Galaxy Mini is a 2.5G GSM/GPRS/EDGE Windows Mobile smartphone only, powered by a TI CPU at 200 Mhz. Even if an entry level device only, Asus new - yet to be officially announced - smartphone also features WiFi and Bluetooth as well as includes a GPS receiver. Furthermore it sports a 2 megapixel camera, a microSD card slot and a QVGA touchscreen: [ Permalink ] (c) 2008 by the::unwired - All Rights Reserved
