I had been using smart phones for the past 3 years. This is the best I ever had. It is really a pocket PC and suits my purpose.
May I take the liberty to recommend this model to prospective buyers.

I am currently using a micro SD memory card that needs to be formated every time i restart the phone. The problem is that even I accept to format the card, a message appears (that the formatting cannot be performed) and so the cards is unusable. Only after the card is formated in another device and inserted in the phone it becomes usable again.
Please provide me a solution for my problem as it is very frustrating to install and copy data every time the phone is swiched off/on.

> In reply to Nallavan @ 2008-08-01 19:30 from NyjxI bought the phone from Pune Crome mall.The performance is good. However when charging the phone I got a slight shock while attending a call. (Need to check if it is a problem with my phone alone.)Check if you have a service center at your area before buying the phone. Overall I am satisfied.

Guys believe me this phone rocks.
Sound quality is a treat for ears.
Awesome still photos.
User friendly with Touch, scroll keys and kepad.
I have been using this from past 4 months and have faced no problems at all, but video recording is poor. In all is worthy.

Good Phone. Value for Money. Bought it for Rs 12990 and Rs 1200 extra for Memory card.
Excellent Screen clarity and rich colour.

Camera is not so good for video recording. However for Still photos, this phone rocks.

No issues till now, except for battery life.
Dont expect much from battery. Stays for around 2 days for me (I am not a heavy caller). For heavy calls the battery might last for around 1 day.

No software for GPS. I am using Google maps.

I bought the thing and besides that there is no WI-FI everything seems to be OK. It's handy, it works, it does everything I need.
I have it for two months now and I do not understand - am I the only one that has no problems with Asus P526 or everyone else here lies in their posts.

To those who intend to buy it:
If you realy need this king of PDA/GSM it's worth the money paid.

But dont forget - there is no Wi-Fi.
Nice day to you all.
