Following the previous information of a new Asus Windows Mobile 6 Pocket PC Phone Edition smartphone, I'm happy that I can provide you some more information today including a real photo of Asus' latest smartphone which is called P750.
Just as a reminder, the Asus P750 sports Windows Mobile 6 Professional, a Marvell 520 MHz PXA27x CPU, 256 MB ROM and 64 MB RAM and GSM/GPRS/EDGE and HSDPA at 3.6 Mbps as well as WiFi and Bluetooth are confirmed as well. Furthermore this devices features a SiRF III GPS receiver and an FM radio. Last but not least, it also includes a 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera and will look like this:





According to our trusty sources, a release can be expected in in October time frame. So far it's not clear where the Asus P750 will be released (first) but let us hope it's coming to Europe and the US as well since it's definitely a promising device.
Many thanks to "cinia_tungtung" for the update.

Though not as prolific as brands like HTC, Asus does have a few PDA-phones in its portfolio. The company's main differentiator since its earlier MyPal-branded devices is the inclusion of GPS in most of its devices. This carries on in the current range and extends to the upcoming lineup as well. Asus' next flagship model is the P750, a Windows Mobile 6 handheld with HSDPA as one of its connectivity features.

Upside:
The candy-bar design of the P750 reminds us of the Sony Ericsson M600i. This is because of the large display with a portrait orientation and the keys taking up a much smaller area right below that. The keypad on the Asus does not have a QWERTY layout though, but is a regular numeric keypad with a joystick navigator and various shortcut keys.

A 3-megapixel camera can be found on the rear of the P750. This is one with an autofocus feature, which makes it good for namecard scanning applications. A second VGA camera above the screen on the front is also available for video calls.

The GPS chip used in the P750 is the SiRFstar III. Other devices with this module are the glofiish X500+ and Dopod U1000, both of which we found to have good tracking when performing in-car navigation.

In what is a first for an Asus PDA-phone, the P750 comes with HSDPA connectivity. This gives it a download speed of up to 3.6Mbps over the cellular network, depending on support by the operator and network strength. Aside from that, it has the usual crop of wireless features including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0.

Downside:
Even though this handheld comes with 256MB of flash memory and a microSD card for expansion, its RAM remains at 64MB. RAM is where applications are stored temporarily during operation, so more of it will improve performance. Some devices already come with 128MB RAM, so it's a pity Asus' upcoming flagship model will not.

Outlook:
Recently, handhelds have become largely the same. Manufacturers are able to squeeze in all available wireless radios and features so the differentiating factors are what will stand out. The P750 needs to have a great bundle to set itself apart from the rest. GPS maps and a car kit will certainly help, as well as bundled software.

The P750 will be available in Asia Pacific from December. Asus has yet to disclose its pricing, but that will be available as the launch date draws closer.

I was wondering when will this device to be on sale here in Malaysia & how's the price range..

Around December i think. Previous experience: Don't buy immediately as ASUS PDA phone price drop significantly for the first few months.

Hmmm... the spec is almost exactly like the HP 610 business navigator. Only that the GPS chipset on the HP most probably isn't SiRF Star III.

But if I'm given d choice, I'd take the HP. More stylo! Haha... Plus the p750 sports a joystick, which users of previous sony ericsson models will know, don't last.

yup on the HP its GPS-A??

i like the asus design but id prefer a D-pad than a joystick...joystick tends to wear easily

nice spec but duno how's the phone usage wise...
come out already only can say all those things...

Haha u sure or not? My SE K750i(ori midland) used for 17 months already, joystick still works well. I think it depends on who is the user and also the quality of the joystick.

Anyway I have great confident in ASUS quality. Planning to get either P535 or P750 soon, got to see first the price and the released specs.

The camera got macro, flash or not? Flash I want the real Xenon flash like the K800i one. Better still if got both LED light and flash.

All the spec look nice and the design was elegent (same as my P525) but the only thing will make I think twice before buying asus PDA was the support service. Like my P525, WM6 upgrade was available for Russian and Taiwan ROM but no upgrade for WWE ROM. Not because the hardware not compatible but they just don't want to released the WWE ROM. As an alternative, find unofficial one.

It's like that wan lerr... just like how O2 refused to release an update for their O2 Atom series and HP forsaken almost all their phones.

Only Dopod / HTC is quite diligent.

i kinda like this phone after review it at gsmarena.com . Actually what are the difference between a PDA phone ( like this P750, P525 ) and PDA with phone function ( like asus P535 ) ?

ada different ke? I thought both sit under the same category.

haha... yeah, weird question. All d devices that u've mentioned is under the PPCPE category. The only difference is that the P750 and the P525 got keypad whereas the P535 don't.

Look at it this way, the P750 is the combination of the P525 and the P535

waa kerazul now ur alive again
is 11 pm is too early for u?lol
got some good(i think so) virtual keyboards for pda that doesnt hav qwerty kerboard

umm... the best that comes to mind is SPB Full Screen Keyboard but it's commercial so need to pay. U may wanna check Touchpal out which is free (for now. Until their patent passes or sth)

waahhh.. really fast coming out another model huh.. i thought i'm still not really familiar with my P735(bought in July07) now coming again new one. haha, thinking to sell off this p735, and getting the p750 once it is launched here in Malaysia

... walao... U really loaded arr changing devices like that. I want also~~~ haha

no la bro.. just thinking, not doing hav to think twice, or maybe more..
anyway, what's the expected price for this new comer PDA?

imo, the device is indeed a cool challenger of the much talked about TyTn II by HTC. It would give the HTC device a run for its money. personally, i've always preferred candy bar design than sliders so i'd put my money on this seemingly All-In-One device with such a design.

My experience in using an Asus PDA phone i.e. P535 is impressive although the device is already dated as we speak. As per Asus's tagline, it IS rock solid..the P535 could use an improvement in the buttons as it sounds like cheap toy buttons..seriously. Other than that, I've faith in Asus product quality.

this phone here might be below or at the 3k price tag. I believe this Asus can do better, of coz the first batch is usually not preferred... but its really tempting with its spec. Asus is really a good brand if you are not O2/HTC fanboys.

Gps is SiRF III, isnt it? its stated most mobile sites...
