Specs looks promising and definately better than the O2 atom exec and Atom Zinc on paper. But since the Atom Zinc has a sliding QWERTY keyboard, it would be unfair to compare with the P535. Closest O2 product is the Atom Exec.

The Asus P535 is available in White or Silver.
Personally, the white looks much better than the boring silver and white seems to be the new black these days thanks to iPods

Expected price is around the RM2500-3000 area

*MORE UPDATES COMING SOON

Good specs.

Designer lacked imagination......

thats true...
design is a little too plain..
back to basics..
but then again, a simple design makes it look clean

size wise, its the same as the Atom but the P535 has a 2.8" display

Look at the specs also many devices now also lose.

Dopod 838Pro also lose out in the specs save whatever is related to 3G and GSM.....This is one power packed device......

Overall look and spec is quite good only without 3G (who cares...) but allocation of button in front a bit weird (my own opinion).

yay it has a better processor den p800w.. so can multitask betta

out of all the pda phones coming soon, i'm targetting this...
waiting for them to release it and to test it out...

Never miss a beat with ASUS P535 Triband PDA GPS Phone

Compact Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphone with wireless and GPS functionality is the business executive's ultimate power accessory

ASUSTeK Computer Inc. today announced the P535 tri-band PDA phone, which incorporates full wireless functionality, GPS and high quality auto-focus camera in a compact formfactor, offering a comprehensive spread of business and lifestyle applications in an exceedingly handy platform.

Staying Connected
The P535 helps the business executive stay connected while on the move, offering push email, Internet access, off-site synchronization of calendar and contact information over wireless (802.11b+g) or mobile phone GPRS networks. Coupled with the ability to view and edit Office documents, the P535 is the indispensable power tool of the mobile, dynamic workspace.

Integrated GPS
Originally developed for military use, Global Positioning System now has a wide range of civilian applications, for both work and play. Navigating appointment venues in a foreign land, tracking distance and speeds on road trips, treks or while jogging - the P535 offers the wonders of GPS in a compact, handy formfactor.

Integrated Auto-focus Camera
The P535's integrated auto-focus 2.0 megapixel camera is not only capable of high quality pictures, it's also a business card scanner, picking up contact details off photographed business cards in a snap - especially convenient when attending business conventions.

Easy Encryption
ASUs has packed the P535 with proprietary user-friendly software and features. Among the most useful, is the Secret Folder, through which the user can encrypt and protect sensitive personal or business information from prying eyes.

Leading Platform
Underlying the P535's many features, is the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, the leading mobile platform with plenty of support and software available, full suite of multimedia playback functionality, and most importantly, the reliance on flash memory: data stored in the P535 remains stored, even if the P535 has lost all power.

beautiful piece of equipment. i think i'd be willing to throw away my k800i and dopod p100 for this beauty. i think the sinple design is nice. to my taste lol. but so damn pricy!!! plus no 3G for the price....

just called up their distributer, should be launched this friday , price confirmed RM2888

wowiii...in my shopping list now...Think can get Ap unit huh?? probably cheaper..

eh, question, this one no qwerty keyboard, so that means sms all must use the screen? cuz i dun see number pad also. er, a bit noob in pda phone lor.

lets say lar, i didnt care much about processor speed, and initial flash rom space, (currently 300Mhz already good enuf for gaming and GPS lar) would u recommend this unit, or M700 Eten Glofish? about the same price wor.

up to u man..
and yea, sms all must use character recognizer..
no numeric keypad, no QWERTY keyboard..
