not bad la the price for what it has. how do you guys overclock the pda to 240mhz? my P3300 also use same processor i think & it really really sluggish til fed up already

TI OMAP 850 200 MHz CPU, 1280 ROM/64 RAM, tis will be killer lo, no multi tasking and heavy usage here...but look at de price, RM1299, with GPS, ok la...u get wat u pay, tat all...

Can also be typical behavior of 'would-be' owners because they want it cheaper even if it is cheap to begin with. Hehehe! Basically there's nothing wrong in having wishful thoughts. But saving a small RM200 by sacrificing extras and warranty services and support isn't justifiable. That saving could be enormous for other people. Yes, very true. But on another perspective, if you can't afford that, probably you should be looking at another alternative and save some cash for needed times. Or buy it on another time.

In the market, the price point of RM1299 is a new record for new PDA phones. It could be a sign for ultra-low-end-affordable smartphones for everyone in the next few years - price point of RM899. Just like what is happening with ultra-low-cost notebooks. TI OMAP 850 is the best cost-effective platform to achieve this. It will happen, but not now.

ya soon, there will be more cheap phone pda like this one coming out. For me, if there is a Asus P320 - GPS + higher processory, i'll get it immediately. But, how to overclock the processor?

I think got special application for the (perhaps same like PC user overclock their processor). Because my P525 using customize ROM. It already been overclock by the ROM user from 416MHz to 520MHz. But the side effect I get was it get warm and drain out battery faster.

congrats to you.......wah soo fast buy edi.....thought you wanna wait till it drop to 1099.... (just joking.....)

PC, I couldn't wait anymore after reading your marvelous review. And now that we are both owners already, I also hope the price remains 1299 forever.

A new user reporting in ....

Some questions as I am new in PDA world
01. There is two Office Mobile installed. How do I get rid of either 1
02. The screen will somehow be on? I tried it at night and swicthed off my room lights.
Any ways to make it dark like handphone?
03. If I have an application, I have to install the software first in PC then transfer the file to which folder in the phone?
04. I have MapKing 2007, How do I get started to use it? Once I start the application, Do I need to set anything?
05. Any extra tips?

if i knew this earlier.. i will get this instead of touch coz it come with build in GPS..

somemore there is softkey button ..

i'm sure it will maintain it's price till year end unless competitor comes with models with GPS with better spec at lower price, doubt this will happen this year and also it launch at a very low price which oppose to when HTC touch launch a a premium price of RM1999 & Wasabi Green at RM2199 and now drop to RM1399 or RM1499-somemore without GPS which i like and need.

1. got to Start-Settings-System-Remove Programs=choose the office you want to remove in there.
2. Press the Sleep Button on top on the right hand side, press too long you will switch off the phone, i think your setting is still standard 5 minutes before it switch off the display, mine change to 1 minute.
3. choose storage card, if cab file transfer to the folder in storage card also cause you have limited storage on the phone, Create a new folder in storage card for new applications.
4. Mapking i can't help you, i am A Garmin guy....
P/S: Garmin takes up 8MB of memory on the phone while Mapking Less than 1MB, me dun like mapkng anyway, got try for few hours last thursday buy can't get a lock on.
5. If your screen flicker like christmas light, when you want to switch on from sleep mode just put it in sleep mode again and wake it up and it will be ok,
Battery status make the phone respond faster by overclock the processor but i do not dare lah, tried for a few hours only....try at your own risk.
Put you backlight at 51% or 45% to make your battery last longer when you use GPS often.
Use Task Manager to close any unwanted programs.

cheers.


but you have touch flo software lah....

actually i've been torn between two choices. asus p320 or p525. d differences to me is the processor. p320 = 200mhz while p525 = 416mhz. can anyone tell me whether it really makes that much difference? my normal usage will be using some skyscape software, perform windows mobile and read pdf files. no need to play games. please advise. Thanks in advance.

if there's a big differences, i'll be tempted to get a second hand p525 which i'm really reluctant to because no warranty.

PC:
2. To wake up the phone again, press the power button once?
3. Meaning I just need to transfer the CAB file or the whole folder with CAB file to the phone? Need to perform installation once transfered to the phone?

Thanks

P525 have 2.8" screen which might be better for you to view pdf files, original OS might be running WM5, WM6.1 Pro is more interesting-support window live and no GPS-which you do not mentioned will you. P525 have more bigger cap battery.

2. yes
3. whole folder. just click the folder and installation will start.

Resco Explorer is a good software, Registry editor included also.

ya, i'm aware of the gps. but i live in a small town and seldom travel. so i guess it won't be useful to me. my concern is lag. thanks a lot anyway

For ringtone to run directly from Storage Card/memory Card, paste directly the mp3 to the Memory Card without putting into any folder. If you do not do this, the system will copy the mp3 to your system memory and reduce the capacity.

i thought touch flo can install on later on..

eg. FLtouch?

I tried using the GPS today using MapKing and it seems I am having some problems with the connection. PC, any idea where I can download or buy Garmin to use in the phone? Thanks

PS: Can I switch off the blinking LED light?
