Windows Phone Thoughts: The Asus P505 - Hands-On!

"Having been so fortunate as to have had the opportunity to play with nearly every advanced mobile device in the Western hemisphere, I can honestly say that I'm not easily impressed. All the more surprising was it then, when I not only quite unexpectedly stumbled across ASUS' new P505 communicator here at the ongoing 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, but also found myself unexpectedly intrigued. Originally slated for a launch in late 2004, I've long had my eye on the ASUS P505. Now slated for an introduction in early 2005, the device was at the time of its unveiling in early 2004 the sole Windows Mobile communicator to promise a truly pocketable size - but a lot has happened since then, including the introduction of the equally petite T-Mobile MDA Compact."



Jørgen from infoSync World managed to get a hands-on look at the upcoming Asus P505 at Cannes. Some noteworthy features are the 2.8" QVGA screen, SDIO slot, USB connectivity, 1.3MP camera, and flip-keypad. The quantity of RAM is no celebratory matter, and once again, this Pocket PC Phone Edition lacks Wi-Fi. Sure, the P505 is cute, but in a side-by-side comparison with the i-mate JAM, I still think the JAM will come out on tops at the end of the day. Your thoughts?
