Today Star advertisement-RM1299 comes with 2GB micro sd.

what advantage htc touch over asus p320? please let me know....bigger ram? touch flo interface?

what i'm into is GPS which HTC touch do not have......

stay away for PDA Gear midvalley-selling at RM1499(they claim extra charges is for their lifetime software support, tiew now we are in the internet era where all software can get over the net)..cut throat

while it's next door neighbour PDA Experts is selling at RM1299 also lifetime software support....

haha....i'll have to sacrifice the ram for GPS, i'll wait till iphone launch, sure will affect the price of PDA's, on the day of annoucement of launching date of iPhone 3G, HTC share drop by 6% in taiwan.....

haha....we'll wait and see 2g less hype mah, now iphone 3g is creating a scene worldwide and manage to down HTC share price by 6% with just it's launching date, imagine what it can do when it's in the market, with all this hype 1 of Malaysia telco will surely try to bring in the iphone 3g to make profit..........if it do arrive it seems that the only telco that support iPhone 3G function such as Microsoft Exchange is celcom....

wow, no user of this pda in lowyat.net yet?

common don't be shy, please give some reviews......

sales was good for Asus P320 at the shop my friend is working at, they take in 30 units and sold 15 units within 2 days.....
just that maybe all Asus P320 user might not me lowyat.net members...
Diamond rm2799 is overpriced, look at Asus p750 started at RM2799 also and it drop to RM1999 less than 6 months, i would say diamond will be in that range in december or january or less if iphone comes legally to malaysia.....

Added on July 2, 2008, 9:06 amLatest news from AT&T :
AT&T also says that a "no-commitment" (read: no contract) iPhone 3G will be available soon, at $599 for the 8GB version and or $699 for the 16GB handset. Pricey, but hey-no two-year contract.

USD599 convert to malaysian ringgit around RM2000 which is still consider affordable than a few other PDA which is overpriced........

HTC is going down.......

i just got this pda, let me test for a few day and give you guys simple review.

Hang nop, lag yes, wifi is very good on my unit-no problem at all....


that's cheap, my friend wants to get 10 unit from you for RM1099.00, please PM me how to COD with you. or else do not simply quote if you do not have the facts right.

my mistake.....

HTC Touch screen size on paper is 2.8" but in real life it is actually only 2.6"(screen across), measured by me and my friend at his shop, maybe their 2.8 inch definition is including their silver frame into the measurement...

This is my simple review on Asus P320.

The unit itself & Accessories :
The pda comes in with a box, External GPS anthena connector(how to use this i also dunno..., earpiece(quite good quality, same design like sony bass boost model), 2 stylus, CD software, pouch, pc connection cable and 1100mah battery.


This pda is small in size and lightweight so it is very convenient to me. Front panel surface are fingerprint magnet but the rear are rubberized-won't easily get scratch.
The battery life is quite lasting. But i like the window logo button, the ok button, the Navigation key which is useful during driving, you can access & scroll the start function without having to touch the screen.



GPS
I install Garmin mobile over Mapking due to speedtrap warning and also i'm too familiar and get used to Garmin edi. Eventhough it takes up 8MB of my phone memory. Why Garmin wanna use my phone memory while Mapking don't?
Initial locked on was a pain in the ass, at least 3 minutes because there is not help from A-GPS like in my previous Nokia N82(initial locked on 15 to 30 seconds). But subsequent locked on was fast.
WM6.1 Professional
I have not play around with the software yet but i love the WM6.1 which has better interface than WM5(on my previous HP6828) and i love Asus today screen. The speaker phone was loud enough to be used for calls while driving. For ringtone i would advice you guys to put at the root of your memory card so that it would be detected in the Notification menu, or else it will transfer to your phone memory and takes up your phone memory. It will make your memory card more messy though.....
Camera
Nothing special about the camera on this pda but oklah......sample below.
Marco mode

Normal


Summary
The pda is a bit lag due to it's slow processor but in return you will get longer standby hours. If you need speed, you can oc it to 240mhz as mentioned by borneo to get rid of the lagginess but you will shorten the battery standby time. For me i need the GPS and it is very small so i can even put it in my shirt pocket and would not know that it is there.

You will not find anything perfect in this world......

so far no, but in youtube you can see there is leather case which will make it bulky.
i'm waiting for the silicone case...

I think no chinese input, not sure lah...

Launching price was RM1299 with Free 2GB Micro SD + RM50 petrol voucher, that was history(2 weeks ago). Only those with launching stock will be able to offer free 2GB or 4GB memory card, those with new stock, won't have.

RM1099 have to wait long long lah......that's only prediction price.

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

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....

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.

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.
