i think P835 is better buy...WVGA....tried in pc fair...very smooth the system..i like the small shinning ball like the joystick

lol, yea but the designer of that device I think broke up with his gf. No more inspiration.

I bought this device few days back after some bad experience with HTC Diamond.
So far, I'm very happy with it, especially the multimedia performance.. really no lagging.
Web browsing with IE was very smooth as well. 2.8" for me is still ok, as i don't like to keep something too bulky in my pocket.
In fact, I quite like the simple and sylish design, with only the mini USB port as the only port (for recharging, headphones, connect to PC).
For me, too many 'holes' on your device doesn't seem very nice.
The speaker, though, loud enough and I like the bass coming out from it.
I used quite alot of GPS and it lasted more than 1 day for me.
Certainly seems like good value for my money.
..the speedy processor does make a difference.

I Am Thinking Of Getting This Too.How Is The Battery(Hour) For WIFI Web Browsing/Downloading?

I have been doing some web browsing (watching some MTV on Youtube) at one-U on it's free wifi, the battery life did drop from 98% to 82% after 2 hours.

I have to mention that I asked the seller to install Spb Mobile Shell 3.0 on this device for me before I purchase this device, and I tell you, it worked like a charming baby! So much smoother than the original Glide ( I still have the riginal UI on it so that I can switch btween Glide and Spb Shell once in a while).

For me, Asus P565 + Spb Mobile Shell = Perfect combination.

Hello everybody! I'm very excited to report in as a new user of Asus P565!

Bought this PDA smartphone yesterday and so far I'm very happy with it!

However, I asked my seller to install Mobile Shell 3.0 for me during purchase. Work out very well and smooth.

The GPS works really well too and very accurate using Garmin.

I've never guess I can watch all my anime on a phone and I just did exactly that.

The sound was good enough without using the headset. Video was very smooth (Smoother than my dad's old laptop)

I got the deal with free 8gb minisd and car kit and car charger.

Over all, I'm a happy owner!

this might be off-topic but now qualcomm going to launch 1.3ghz Snapdragon processor ... it's faster than my Asus EeePC

I bet it's gonna be 2x more expensive than your Asus EeePC too..

is it hard to type when sms ?
can show some pic of this phone function ?

It depends on what kind of method you prefer; as with most winmo phone, there's a lot of option for ASUS P565:

block/letter recognizer
qwerty keyboard
transcriber
chinese writing
ping ying
traditional numpad

but the design.... .....especially at the back....

Hi,
Another new owner of p565 and as mentioned by brandon and weichieh, it's a really superb combination of p565 and SPB shell. Get the latest shell 3.01

The fast processor makes the SPB shell works flawlessly.

The sreen is crisp and nice, eventhough slightly smaller than the onmia that i used previously. But it definitely looks nicer.

The dimension also suits me well. Small enuf not to weigh down my pants. haha

The GPS works great. Very fast start up and positioning. Definitely better than my nokia e66 and samsung omnia. Using garmin btw.

Ring tone a bit on the soft side. Feels plasticky.

Battery life quite reasonable for the processor speed but slightly less than omnia. Of course omnia comes with a huge dimension and weight.

And best of all, it comes with full accessories. Asus is definitely not miser on the package.

hi guys. just found out that low yat is a great forum to discuss gadgets. ( all this while browse low yat for dota tips ). I've used p565 since Feb. Bought at low yat brilliance shop. price then was 2099. Yup, i agree, mobile shell 3.0 is da best. This phone performance is so far my best winmo phone (compare to my old O2, and my frends htc). but ony now i feel sorry that the screen is 2.8 inch. The back leathery design is still considered macho actually.

thanks for those pic man, how much this pda selling now ?

wow thats a very good battery report! better than my o2 Flame

now thinking to upgrades it

what is the different of VGA,QVGA,HQVGA,WQVGA ?

This post has been edited by terryfoo: Jun 7 2009, 07:35 PM

The Quarter Video Graphics Array (also known as Quarter VGA, QVGA, or qVGA) is a popular term for a computer display with 320 × 240 resolution.

Wide QVGA or WQVGA is any display resolution having the same height in pixels as QVGA, but wider. This definition is consistent with other 'wide' versions of computer displays.

Since QVGA is 320 pixels wide and 240 pixels high (aspect ratio of 4:3), a WQVGA screen might be 384 pixels wide for 16:10 aspect ratio, 400 for 5:3, or 432 for 9:5.

Half-QVGA denotes a display screen resolution of 240×160 or 160×240 pixels, as seen on the Game Boy Advance. This resolution is half of QVGA, which is itself a quarter of VGA, which is 640×480 pixels.

why all pda only 65k colour ? not 16 billion. ?

i'm always at my friend's pda shop to test/play around with new pda's and what i can say is ASUS pda sound are like they never put in any speaker....

winmo 65K is as good as nokia 16M, you can try to compare Sony experia X1 colour display with nokia 5800, colour display is not important, what is more important is the resolution, 480 by 800 pixel(sony experia x1) will always be on par or better than nokia 5800 (360 by 640 pixel).

it's useless if you have millions of colours but less pixel.

BTW i do not think our naked eye can see 16millions colour.

so for best winmo display, get only VGA (480 by 640) or WVGA (480 by 800) for clearer and sharp display.
