Camera
The Asus P535 has a 2 MP camera with auto-focus. It is one of the best I've seen in a PDA. The auto-focus camera does a neat job of capturing images, where the maximum image resolution can be set to 1600 x 1200 pixels. It has a single LED flash which works well at night. The flash isn't very powerful and doesn't reach long distance, so it is recommended to click images at a closer range. The video recorder of the phone plays videos at 30 fps. Standard set of image and flash options such as red-eye elimination are also provided. This camera does a more than satisfactory job to fulfill basic photo skills.
Interface
The Asus P535 comes loaded with Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0. It was quite stable almost all the time that I used it. The phone hung only a few times while starting (probably you can expect a BSOD on Windows Mobile as well?). An Intel Xscale processor 520MHz takes care of crunching the numbers in the background. The processor is supported by 64 MB of RAM and has 256 MB of NAND memory. From the 256 MB, only around 180 MB is usable for storing data. The miniSD card slot arranges for additional storage capacity. The Windows mobile interface isn't any tougher than the desktop version, anyone can figure his way out and accomplish the tasks easily.
Under business tasks, the phone has a couple of extras to help out. There is a Business Card Recognition feature similar to the one seen in the Motorola ROKR E6. Also, the Remote Presenter for Powerpoint presentations via Bluetooth is possible. The PocketOffice pack also comes preloaded; therefore you can work with Word and Excel documents when on the move.
The standout feature of the Asus P535 is the GPS receiver with SiRF Star III chipset. You can connect it to the car adaptor and use it for directions, though we don't have full fledged GPS service in India yet. For media playback, you have the evergreen Windows Media player v10. The provided stereo headset is decent enough but if you are looking for more then you can always connect your own headphones via the 3.5mm jack.
The phone has Java J2ME loaded, so you can install loads of Java applications that you download from the net on to this phone. Also, the phone has advanced contacts with support for photo-call. It has other features like Notes, Calendar, Alarm, Calculator, File Manager, IE for browsing, MSN, Skype clients for chatting, and VoIP calls are the standard tools as seen in most phones. Asus has its own set of tools called the Asus Status which gives information about the running applications, system, battery, etc. There is an Spb Backup to maintain backup of the system and other trial software that comes bundled in the phone.
