Asus P525 smartphone with 2 megapixel cam

Asus was showing off a business-oriented Windows Mobile 5.0 PocketPC Phone Edition-powered candybar-style handset at CeBIT last week, featuring WiFi, Bluetooth, and hopefully like its P305 sibling, UMTS. The P525 sports a 416MHz Intel XScale PXA270 processor, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, and 2.8-inch QVGA screen, along with a miniSD slot and hearty two megapixel camera. No word yet on which countries and carriers will see this model, or what the price is going to look like.

THANK YOU ASUS!

It's about time someone realised that not everyone wants a full QWERTY keyboard.

T-9 predictive text makes using a numeric keypad very easy - After all, whats the first thing you think of doing with a Mobile PHONE?

I saw this phone at shops in Hong Kong. Retail price is around USD $650 unlocked. (About the same as a Treo 650 here). Love the concept of a full boat PDA w/ Wifi and Quadband, and its far superior to my current O2 mini (aka i-Mate Jam) as far as features. Not a Treo killer because it has no QWERTY, but a very good Treo alternative for those of us who don't need to write a novel's worth of email everyday. Kinda pricy though...
