Asus India announces the launch of its the P565 PDA phone in the Indian market.
It features an 800 MHz Marvell PXA930 processor and Asus’ latest touch-driven user interface, Glide.
The P565 offers powerful multistasking and effortless switch between tasks as quickly as possible by just a touch of a finger.
It also comes with business-oriented features and software such as push mail, business card recognition and Microsoft Office Mobile.
Apart from that, the phone comes equipped with GPS functionality pre-loaded with SatNav’s SatGuide map to access over 200 cities and 1.5 million destination and SiRF Star III with InstantFix.
Other features of the Asus P565 PDA phone include a 2.8-inch 480 x 640 pixels touchscreen, Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional OS, 256 MB Flash with 128 MB DDR SDRAM, 3 Megapixel Auto Focus camera with 300 K Pixel camera for Video Telephony, WLAN 802.11b+g, USB v1.1(FS) and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR connectivity. It also supports MicroSD with SDHC card to expand memory space.
Backed by one-year warranty, the Asus P565 business PDA phone carries a price tag of Rs. 35,000 in India.
With just 2.8 inch screen and 3 MP camera this phone is a rip off. If you are launchig a phone in 2009 better not be less than 5MP camera.
Imagine HTC Touch HD with 3.8 inch screen and 5 MP camera and all other features in the same price, also Samsung Omnia with 3.5 Inches and 5MP camera. Asus India was seen as a good cost alternative provider of excellent phones but it seems they are getting greedy day by day.
