"In order to provide business users with the mobility and the versatility of a mobile office, ASUS has designed the new ASUS M530w Smart Phone. Packed with innovative features, the ASUS M530w allows users to send and receive messages instantly anywhere – providing vital information for users to make important and informed business decisions.The ASUS M530w supports Push E-mail and can simultaneously receive mails from the user's office Outlook mail server. It can also update their organizers and communications records for easier data management. These important features will ensure that users will never miss any important information and be able to quickly reply to work requirements – enhancing their work productivity even if they are not in the office, or caught in a meeting. The ASUS M530w is equipped with high-speed transfer capabilities to provide users with a host of multimedia benefits. With the 3G Video Phone, users can talk to anyone face to face, and 3G broadband makes downloading music, MV and other video and music programs a breeze. It is also able to utilize wireless connections via 802.11 b/g for high speed data transfers for total mobility. In addition, built-in Bluetooth technology seamlessly interfaces with other Bluetooth devices and provides freedom of movement without the hassle of wires. The built-in Business Card Recognition feature allows users to use the ASUS M530w’s 2.0 Mega Pixel Auto-Macro camera to capture the details of a business card and avoid tediously keying in the data into the contacts book."



I have to admit, the Asus M530w looks like a handsome powerful device. I love the front side camera. I wonder when the US will get to a point when we can face to face video conference with our mobile devices. With WiFi, 3G, and bluetooth, you're connected in every way. I'm very curious to see how the built-in business card recognition works. All in all it looks like a pretty slick powerful device. The down side? I'm not sure if we will ever see it here in North America. :x

All I need to know is who's importing this phone, and how much?

I've got WiFi, I've got 3G/HSDPA, I've got BT 2.0+EDR, and I'VE GOT IT NOW!! Samsung SGH-i600 baby

I would expect Expansys (mobile Planet) to have it on their site. I've held it, and I'm not really sold on the looks. Specs wise, it's pretty nice. Looks and size wise, it's not.

Hmm...funny, but I really like it. I'm not a fan of the Dash's chrome piece...but seeing as my SDA just died. I might have to pick one up today anyway.

i want it due to the front facing camera... though it would mean that i couldn't fake working as much when my boss called me
