Asus m536 hands-on - killing the Treo in style
How does Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, 2.5-inch 320×320 display, tri-band UMTS/HSDPA (850/1900/2100Mhz), tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM/EDGE, 3 megapixel autofocus camera (with VGA front-facing cam), WiFi 802.11 b/g, and GPS sound? Yea, we like it too. Tam Hana managed to get some hands-on time with the Asus m536 and posted the lovely pics and video that you see here. The Asus m536 "Treo Killer" looks like a tweaked Asus m530w , only packed with a heftier punch. The Asus m536 "Treo Killer" does exactly what it's nickname purports. Not only does the Asus m536 rock the specs listed above, it packs all that goodness into a 13.9mm thick casing - considerably slimmer than the Palm Treo 750v. And, the Asus m536 does it with style. The flat, metallic navigation buttons paired with the flush-mounted touchscreen give the Asus m536 an air of elegance that you just don't get with Treo. The fingerprint-reader that doubles as a touch-sensitive directional pad only adds to the device's slick looks. It's a shame that Asus chose to go with a tri-band GSM radio on the m536, keeping it from going mainstream in the States. We're keeping our fingers crossed for Asus to make a push for US shores with a quad-band GSM version of the Asus m536. Check out the video for a quick look at the fingerprint-scanner/navigation pad in action. Nifty. [Via: WMExperts ] --- Related Articles at IntoMobile:
