Just bought myself the asus P535 yesterday .... no real need to think cos of the price drop ? of the unit ... got it for 2388 with a 1 gig card thrown in ..

interesting notes on the gps functions ! Aisay, I onli got 1 gig and the screen protector (Fresh Gear - digital mall - staff super friendly and helpful )

A Question - anyone tried sync'ing / connecting with windows vista ? Cant seem to get it to work

after 2 days of frustrating attempts at installing the new windows mobile device center 6.1 and getting it to recognise the asus, I'm calling it quits. It's time to go back to winxp ... tx anyway stimix ...

totally inane question again : is the car holder like totally useless or am i fixing it wrong ? The suction cup doesnt suck enuf !! the thing falls down !

................ boy do i feel foolish now ..... "a protective piece of plastic " ........ hehehhe .

Thanks guys ... now if only someone would point me to how to make windows mobile device centre work ...

hey guys - this question might not be specific for the asus , it's more a general windows mobile 5 question - is there a way to block the sim card contacts from view - atm i'm seeing 2 entries for each contact ..

I went to get the case from the curve earlier in the morning. couldnt find PDA union ... but hit onto to curve's puny little IT section . Bought the capdase silicon case for $45 - the black one ...with the black pda in it - it comes out something like an ash grey colour. The leather case is $80 there.

FIrst time uploading pictures, so forgive me for errors - the pictures shows evrything BUT the "unbreakable" cover for the screen - i couldnt stand the look, took it off in the car.

The shops name is PDA expert, 3rd floor , the curve - near the 3 other PC shops.

> stimix > Either the guy in cineleisure ripped u off or i bought some type of imitation product.

@stimix > ehh, yeah yeah - sorry, got the nicks mixed up.

@strik3 > didn't see the white one at the curve's branch - they have another 2 more branches; one in sunway pyramid and another in mid valley. One of the branches should have it. You bought the white limited edition? According to the seller - the ratio of whote to blacks is 1:10. lIMHO looks kinda odd for a guy to use it though....

The leather case is nice at $80, but couldn't see myself flipping that thing open everytime u need to use the PDA.

@stimix > hehehh yeah probably I'ld have gone with the $10 one if it was available .
The silicon cover encases the pda and makes it look terrible .... but have to la, if u have kids who insist on getting their grubby lil fingers on it. Most times .. leave it on, .. go out where u need to impress someone .. take the case off .....
The leather one has a nice professional look to it, smells like leather.., look very canggih unlike this silicon one where it looks like something a teenager will have... sigh..ah well, ....

Added on June 28, 2007, 10:55 amHaha, I know what u mean, now the thing is new, so sayang, give it a bit more time and the lustre of newness wears off, it'll be thrown all over the place sans all the 'protection'....

bought the thing with my GF, she liked the white but said the black looked better for a guy. The onli draw for the white for me was the relative scarcity of it. According to fresh gear guy, ratio of white to blacks out in the market is 1:10. But then maybe it's like that cos the black looks better

@stimix > sure have to get la ... whats $45 compared to the $2400 u plonked out?
Afterall can always reserve it for some time when u go out say, to the beach or some gps'ing trip in some jungle somewhere ....

Been hearing a lot of the "goodbyes" too using voice commander ... don't really find it useful - pretty cool in the beginning, but rapidly got tired of looking like an idiot saying a persons name to make a call.

can we use the updated maps from malsing maps for mapking ? or is the feb 2007 maps the most current for mapking ?

hey any one can PM me on ways to get the garmin ? ahem .....

uhh garmin cue software is freeware then ? Unlike mapking ?

quick question > can u have both mapking and Garmin in the same pda ? start either one as and when u like ?

ok danke danke ... installing garmin and etc ...following the malsing wiki stepwise ... . Will be sorry to lose the 3d visuals but i figure that better more accurate mapping better than eye candy....

crud - i could get all the com gpsproxy and que seeing each other but cant get the maps to show ...
put the patched map in garmin folder ..but when start up cannot see it ... but oddly - in the tab (in que) to delete map files - i can see it ...

got to see the maps now .. but now que is giving a message no gps detected.

used all the settings like u said

1) GPS proxy:

GPS Comp port - com 2 ( nmea errors if this is on com 5 )
Virtual Com port - com 5
Appl com port -com 5
Output com port - com 5

2) Garmin Que com port (Under option >system setup > interface)- com 5

pening, pening.....

tried running garmin independantly after launching gpsproxy - then patched the 2.2a gpsproxy thereby giving the option for gamrin launching from gpsproxy ... still no go ...
garmin insist that no gps is detected ..

baud rate at 4800 ..
under the gpsproxy log files ..it sez ; NMEA input gps PORT ERROR/ ERROR uart ERROR:FRAMING

so maybe my problems is still the ports ... the wiki advocated ports doesnt seem to be working for me ...strange
