Asus P505 Approved By FCC
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 08:00 AM
Asus has been working on a Pocket PC Phone with a flip-down numeric keypad, and we've posted on it before. And now, the likelihood it will come to the US has just increased -- the FCC has approved it and put up the details as usual.
According to the manual, it has a 416MHz XScale, 64MB of RAM and 64MB of ROM, 6cm (2.3in) screen, triband GSM (900/1800/1900), and built-in Bluetooth. It looks like the compactness of this unit is its selling point, like the HTC Magician and E-TEN units we've been reporting on. The manual also makes reference to a "Vodafone menu", so it seems like this unit will actually sell in the UK first -- no idea what the carrier status is here, so we may not see it anytime soon in the US.
