Asus P527 Coming To America
"We've always sort of enjoyed the form factor of Asus' P527 GPS-enabled WinMo 6 smartphone, and now it looks like we'll be able to get our hot little hands on one when Asus officially launches the unit in North America sometime early this year. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Asus thinks its first North American handset deserves 3G, so we're still stuck at quadband EDGE, but the built-in WiFi, Bluetooth, and Google Earth GPS integration kinda sorta make up for it -- but we're wait for pricing info to hit before we go looking for our wallets."
64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, TI OMAP processor, no 3G, 2.6" screen - the P527 won a CES award for design and engineering, but I'm not sure there's much to get excited about (GPS notwithstanding). Still, all that functionality comes in a pretty neat package weighing just under 130g, so I'm sure this will fit someone's idea of an ideal smartphone. Aren't choices wonderful?
