Sony he got it from:

Pc-mobile

The price of ext ant & the reradiating unit..and yes similar to my set-up is at US#47.90 +US$5 postage...so after coversion at RM3.70 it's at RM196...probably cheaper..if conversion rate ~RM3.5 (Depending on type of creditr card)

@ Sony: Yeap, Stimix was the one who told me about that and I bought it. I do believe that the size of the antenna is smaller than Stimix's. The performance is so far so good lah! hehe...

Glad to hear that mate.

Maybe we should meet up one day with stimix just for the sake of it. tongue.gif

Hehe..tnx for the needed bump....was trying to remind all existing malsingmaps members, The old website has been shutdown since Yesterday & u all need to goto the new website & re-register.

And on GPRS...eh..probably forget about it..no point too expensive....and probably very slow too bcos no EDGE..just use the wifi & scan for nearest free hotspot..our Asus P535 is suprising powerfull too! I can even login to my neigbour AP from my house!! biggrin.gif
*
The only complaint I have against the P535 is the lack of 3G/3.5G. It's otherwise a very good device, like bro stimix mentioned, WiFi is surprising good, even better than a lot of models I've used in the past.

I'm starting to miss using HSDPA while on the move, as I used to use it often with my now sold Nokia 6110 Navigator.

I'm beginning to miss having 3.5G data speeds, like I used to on my 6110 Navigator.

Having 3G on my M600i does not help a bit.

And GPRS only on my Asus P535 makes things worse.

Hmm... Maybe I should change to a D810.

But sigh, there's no longer any White D810 for sale, and I don't fancy the Black D810.

Oh yes, brother! Come to the D810 camp!  laugh.gif Have subscribed to the RM99 unlimited data package from Maxis and man, I absolutely love being able to use my device on the internet anytime I wish without worrying about charges and at relatively high speeds. If I have my laptop with me, I`d pair it with my device to go online most of the time.
*
LOL! Yeah the unlimited data plan rocks. No worries about sky rocket high data charges! mad.gif

D810 eh? If I can find a White D810, I might consider jumping camp. whistling.gif

Why didn't I think looking for it in Singapore? doh.gif

Will see if I can squeeze some time to Singapore during my next trip down South. tongue.gif

I've been looking at used sets, but no White units. All are Black units.

But apart from the lack of 3G/3.5G, I still like my P535 a lot!

Haha, I don`t recall seeing ur FD being white, bro. If u can compromise ur ride being non-white for practical reasons, I`m sure u can do the same for ur PDA phone.  tongue.gif

It's not that too.

I don't recall seeing White as one of my colour choice when choosing my ride. tongue.gif

And the Type-R came out very much later. tongue.gif

I've upgraded to WM6 and find it pretty stable.

For starters, there's Office Mobile which combines all Excel, Word and PPT in one single place. smile.gif

And battery life seems to be somewhat improved. hmm.gif

Have not thoroughly explored it yet though.

Dude ... how many you paying for P535?

By the way the design between P535 & Eten x500 seem no much different ...

I bought mine earlier at RM 2xxx. The price now should be around RM 2k.

After upgrading to the official Asus wm6 for 2days, I discovered there 2 bugs.

1. Sometimes the device would turn off by itself unknowningly. Then you would have to power on again.
2. There's a gray line below the picture taken with the camera at times.
*
I didn't experience any of the bugs you mentioned yet. smile.gif

sounds like only bad review about wm6 on P535.  Any other updates on this? I was trying to update mine, but a bit warry after reading posts from this thread.


Added on August 30, 2007, 9:07 pmHey guys, I have recently purchased an ASUS P535. I've just noticed that it is really poor in picking up signal.  When I use my old Sony Ericsson or Nokia 8310, I can get nearly full bar of signal, but when I switched to ASUS P535, the best I can get it 3bars, when signal is weaker, eg 3 bars on my nokia, my ASUS won't pick up any signal at all.  I just want to know if mine is the only case or that's how it is with P535?

thanks

There is a possibility that your motherboard (that's what I was told) might be faulty.

Check it out with Asus's service centre.

Your thread is merged into the existing P535 discussion thread.

Most probably it's the baud rate settings.

Try changing it to 4800?

P535 is a mid level PDAphone with GPS and an autofocus 2mp camera as its selling point. It is also the ONLY PDAPhone to use a SiRF Star III GPS chipset.
*
It's not the only model with SiRF Star III chipset. 1 model I can think of which I've used before with the same chipset is the Dopod P800w.

Asus's after sales service is not bad. Experienced it firsthand when I went to the outlet at Jln Imbi. Friendly and professional service. smile.gif

i found that P535's camera quality not really good leh... and the shutter is very hard to press and it makes the photo blur....

how to solve this problem? thanks

You must be joking biggrin.gif ...P535 picture quality is one of the best & even better than Dopod/HTC PDA phone or even those SonyEricson phone....U need to press 1/2way to allow auto focus & once PQ crystal clear snap.
*
I concur with stimix. The P535 has the best camera I've seen in a WM powered device. Having AF on it really helps a lot!

Hmm... but comparing it to a Sony Ericsson is kinda off track if you know what I mean. tongue.gif It's actually a lot better on most of the SE phones. smile.gif

QUOTE(fansoption @ Oct 21 2007, 08:06 PM)
why my p535 always hang, 2 days hang one time,
*
Has it been like that since you got your unit?

Or is it a recent occurrence?

If it's the latter, might be something you installed recently which caused the hanging problem.

As for your question, do check out Digital Gadgets.

Their price might not be the cheapest, but what I like is their after sales service. Superb!

This is OT a little bit, but who do I look for in Fresh Gear?

Anyone in particular gives good service?

And the 2 years warranty, applies to every model they sell? Or only selected models?
