    ASUS P565 [Review]

    Prasad Naik, Feb 09, 2009 1530 hrs IST

    A stylish and powerful PDA phone, but at an exorbitant price

    Good looks, fast processor, VGA resolution display

    Only a 3.2 megapixel camera, memory card not included in bundle, no 3.5mm headphone jack, very expensive

Design and Construction:


The P565 is designed like a typical PDA phone. On top of the phone, we can see the call speaker along with the video call camera and a notification light to its right. The light blinks green when within network coverage, blue when either GPS, WI-Fi, or Bluetooth is ON, and red when Charging. Below that is the large 2.8" 65k colour VGA (640 x 480) resolution TFT touchscreen display. The display is clearly one of the hallmarks of the phone and makes using it a pleasure.


 



 


 Below it is the 5-way navigation key in the centre flanked by the Call/End keys at the bottom, with the OK key at the top right-hand side and the Asus AnyTime Launcher key on the left. The AnyTime Launcher acts as a shortcut key for many of the important features of the phone and can be launched anytime to quickly access them. The entire front surface is in glossy black, which makes it a fingerprint magnet.


 



 


On the left-hand side of the phone, we can see a GPS transceiver at the top and the volume control keys below it. On the right-hand side is the sliding Hold switch used for disabling the keys and a touchscreen to prevent accidental input, with the camera shutter key at the bottom. On the top is the Power key and the stylus slot and on the bottom side of the phone is the microphone, reset pinhole, and the mini USB port that serves as an input port for the charger, data cable, as well as the headset.

Now it costs ~21000, do you think it is worth going for it now? OR Are there still better options available at this cost also?
