Asus P835
Asus calls it, “PDA phone.” The potent P835 is designed with multimedia and Web lovers in mind, bringing with it an eye-popping 3.5 inch touch panel that features a practically unheard of WVGA resolution. That’s 800 x 480, on a cellphone!
Additionally, the new Glide interface promises to be the “most innovative, intuitive and interactive mobile user interface available today,” though it’s really just a skin over the pre-loaded Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system. Users will have access to 12-key, half-Qwerty and full-Qwerty virtual keyboard modes, and the Qualcomm 7201A (528MHz) processor should handle most tasks with ease. Other specifications include an 1100mAh battery — which is good for 6 hours of 3G talk time, 7 hours of 2G talk time and between 300 - 350 hours in standby — 4GB of internal storage, 288MB of SDRAM, 256MB of ROM, a MicroSDHC expansion slot and 802.11b/g WiFI. There’s also Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, USB 2.0 and Assisted GPS built-in, and Opera Mobile is also pre-installed for better browsing.
Here’s the rundown:
• HSPA (DL: 7.2Mbps, UL: 2Mbps), UMTS 900/1900/2100
EDGE/GPRS/GSM 850/900/1800/1900, Class 12
• Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1
• 3.5″ WVGA (800×480), no word on resistive or capacitive
• 4 GB internal storage plus MicroSDHC slot
• WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0
Asus’ out-of-nowhere P835 smartphone is packing some pretty decent specs, from an 800×480 touchscreen to HSPA support for lightning-fast downloads, but it’s still packing Windows Mobile 6.1. Still, it’s worth a look.

• 1100mAh battery, which sounds a little underpowered
