Sigh, it's dropped so much since I bought it, which is not long ago.

CV charges RM 450 for the GPS boost, much more powerful than the normal antenna he said?

how much is this gadget costs in the market now?? any cons??

That's very expensive...Normal GPS antenna should hv about 26db-28db boost and that's what advertised by Pc-mobile website ..which is also similar to my set-up..dun think any civilian GPS anttenna can boost higher than that...

Yeah exactly!

I won't be buying one at that price.

I'm aware that expensive & powerful antennas provide high accuracy i.e. up to 1 - 2 m if possible at all?

But it made me think how does that translate to daily usefulness to the avg users? Or does it?

Still waiting for mine to arrive...oooh! C.W.A.L. !

just checking where do this pda stand compare to the htc with the touch screen software ?

HTC touch is a very simple PDA phone-leh wth only 200mhz slow speed compare to this 520mhz speedy Asus...and HTC dun hv a built-in GPS receiver & lots more feature not in HTC Touch...

Refer to this link (http://star-techcentral.com/reviews/story.asp?file=/2007/7/19/prodit/18303610&sec=reviews&new=1&cat=7&rid=1060) for more info on htc Touch's touch screen technology.

P535 is the typical stylus touch screen i.e. Poke & Execute.
Touch's touch screen technology allows multiple thumb movements (usually a sliding movement) to execute certain actions e.g. bring up start menu,open sub menu etc.

U may say that Touch's touch screen technology is more advanced but it does not prove to be the superior one yet as it still lacks something somewhat especially in the typing aspect.
However,P535's performance will leave the Touch n many pdas far far behind.

There'll be better "Touches" in the future, I'm sure one could wait for this kinda touch screen to fully mature 1st save for a geek =)

hi there..i have installed mapking 2007 build 0131 and replaced with the cr@ck file

but when i run mapking... and click on gps.. it will start to detect my gps COM by COM and then says failed to connect to bluetooth ..

* i am using asus p535 3RDy3`b
* i was previously using mapking 2007 provided by the seller when i bought the phone
* i hard reset it and then reinstall myself 

please do help me.. p535 seeems useless to me without gps.. ><

It's kinda hard to describe in words, but tapping on the GPS word on the bottom right corner will do the trick.

Otherwise, go back to where you purchased the unit and ask them to give you some basics on the unit.

1st goto setting>System>GPS>programs - set GPS program port = "(None)" then goto Harware - setGPS hardware port =Com2

In Mapking, Goto tools>GPS/Track> flag "By User" choose Com 2 & Baud rate=4800

aww thanks...
after i did soooo much reading on the internet ..
i found out that i must select a COM for the hardware and then 1 more for the mapking ..
well im not sure about it but it works again for me...soooo delighted..
thanks so much ..
btw why must baudrate be 4800 ? i have tried others but not working..

and the sad thing is i bought mine form hong kong and i am having a big problem using the chinese OS ...TRADITIONAL chinese..omg..
is there any way i can change it back to english ?
if i have to flash...hehe is it possible to get it free from asus ??
orelse i will be happy enough if anyone can help me get a text input method like those i had in my o2 mini ..it was so good but this WM6 hk version sucks with text input..and that is why i was trying to install calygrapher on my p535 and then all the problems occured and then i had to hard reset it... sad..zzz

U probably can upgrade to English wm6 but the problem is ASUS has not
release their English version yet!! ..We here been waiting since begining of the mth If u go to their website they oledi released Thai, French, HK/Taiwan, Portuguest BUT not ENGLISH!!

HUH ???? WHAT DO U MEAN ??
EVEN MALAYSIA SETS ARE ALL IN MANDARIN ???? omg thats so sad..
even if asus has not, but has WM6 launched english?

No-lah wat I mean is the existing ROM is WM5 English and we hv been waiting since early this mth for the upgraded WM6.. ..so meaning no English version for WM6 yet....from Asus forum, French users been complaining about the "blank screen" problem & another version complaining about PDA can't detect Mini SD...so probably those French & Thai versions are experimental WM6 and probably due to those complains, ASUS withold the English version release

ooo u mean that WM6 english version doesnt exist yet..
luckily.im not the only freak dude in malaysia using traditional chinese WM6 .. it cost me so much headache...and i have to put the font size to big big big only can see those chinese text..
meaning if i want english now, i have to flash it back to WM5...which is not necessary right ? as i will need to update back to Wm6 later..
erm anyway do u have an idea what softwares and games will be compatible with WM6 ?
im so scared now..i tried just 1 software the calygrapher and i had to hard reset....so better check out what are compatible first..
neways thanks for the info dude...

I find the current ROM very stable, no urge for me to upgrade to WM6.

yes..WM5 runs nicely on my HP pda...
but the thing is i have already bought this p535 with traditional chinese..
is there any way for me to get it back to english be it WM5 or WM6 ?
if not at least is there a place to download text input options because i seriously hate this one in the asus p535 input as it is basically meant for chinese input(major).
thanks

Yo P535 GPS users,

Received me GPS antenna and reradiating unit on Monday and got it up and running yesterday.
Did a test run and found that the accuracy has improved drastically. Due to it being so very accurate, i must turn before point zero at the junction if not i'll literally go 90 degrees before making the turn into the junction. I hope this is making sense..haha.
Just for info, the magnet is really really strong. During the test, the antenna did not budge a lil while driving at 100km/h. Have yet to go higher speeds.

Other than that, stimix has assured me that leaving the antenna outside the car will be ok since he's done that for the past 1 year. Cheers mate...
