Try resetting your WiFi Router and see if that helps. Otherwise, check the connection setting on the phone, and try playing around with them.

All you need to do is to compare both the Phone's Specs, which this site allows very easily. To answer your question, the O2 Atom Exec uses an Intel XScale PXA 27x 520MHz processor, which the P527 uses a TI OMAP 850 200 MHz processor - so, the former is likely to be faster. As for the Direct Push Email, almost all the newer WinMo phones, this one included, would include that.

Are you running any programs in the background which may be causing this? If not, then this may be a unit problem, and you should get it checked out by ASUS

I have bought a P527 phone 2 weeks back. The phone is a great experience but I am facing wifi connectivity problems. It gets connected to wifi and then goes off all of a sudden. Then it shall keep saying connecting(or shall not detect the network) but shall not reconnect till restarted. I tried to download opermini via wifi, but it never completed more than 0.5 MB and then disconnected.

Anyone using wifi here ? Problem is with my phone or with the model ?

Can anybody tell whether the P527's processor speed is equivalent or better than O2 Atomexec? Is it having a Push Email facility?

I had purchased Asus P527 three weeks back, from last one week I am facing problem with mobile clock time. I have to reset the timings every morning since every night my mobile clock show a time difference of around 1 hr for example if it is 8 pm it shows 7 pm. Is this a known problem? Do I have to visit the service center. If yes can anyone provide me the address of service center in mumbai.

If this does not happen for you, simply go into Settings -> Connections -> Network Setting and select AIRTEL as your provider in the dropdown list.

The same goes for apps as well - search Google for the particular type that you are looking for, and you'll find many options.

I've posted in 3-4 messages before that you do require a GPRS connection to download maps on the fly for Google Maps, Nav4All, and even Live Search Mobile. Also, since you've bought a P320, and you are already posting the same question in the P320 page, please don't post the same questions here again.

> In reply to bwaman @ 2008-08-02 17:23 from utyM - click to readUnfortunately, most free navigation softwares will require a GPRS connection to download maps on the fly - this includes Google Maps, Nav4All and Live Search Mobile.

If you don't have a GPRS connection, then your best bet would be to buy a package that comes bundled with its own maps. Try SatGuide or MapMyIndia for this purpose. My favorite these days is MapKing, but it only supports a handful of major Indian cities.

> In reply to bwaman @ 2008-08-02 07:36 from utyN - click to readSince the P320 doesn't come with any pre-installed navigation software, you will need to install one yourself. Check out Google Maps Mobile here: http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/ or point your Mobile browser here: m.google.com - this is a Mobile version of the Google Maps application meant specifically for the WinMo platform. As for other softwares, almost any GPS software which has a WinMo version should be compatible with the P320.

You can also try installing a different app like Google Maps to see if it catches your GPS signals properly. You can also use a diagnostic tool from MapKing called GPS Viewer: http://www2.mapking.com/getPro...PSviewer.zip
