While our review is admittedly light on pictures, it provides a lot of facts about the inner workings of this device. Under the distrustful eyes of a Taiwanese product manager we could hold this baby in our arms for a full 60 minutes, an eternity by CeBIT standards, where hordes of clueless visitors are vying to touch every single exhibit not securely locked away in a glass cabinet..."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/ASUS_P525klein.jpg" /> <br /><br />While I was initially corrected in a <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/index.php?topic_id=47178">previous post</a> that this was a Wi-Fi VoIP Phone, Marc thankfully ends the confusion to reveal that it is, in fact, a tri-band GSM phone. In a seemingly exclusive, intimate hour he spends with the P525, he mentions that this Pocket PC Phone may have the best integrated camera yet! Check out his blog for more details.

I'll have to add, that the joystick was pretty hard to press, forcing you to use considerable force at least in one of the four directions. This will have to be corrected before the official launch!
