I have been using this P535 since May 2007. I love this new smart phone so much. I am trying to response some people concerns here.
For mskl, please make sure you are not turning on all the battery-consuming features. For normal cellphone usage, only turning on the phone, not bluetooth, wifi, GPS. GPS won't be able to turn regularly, only when you have the navigation software running, then you will able to turn on the GPS. If you are already doing this, then it must be your battery problem. My device can use for more than 3 days. If you need to use Bluetooth handset, it uses TONS of battery life anyway.
For PrP}, it depends what contacts you have. It only accepts Outlook contacts. So, if you have Palm contacts before, you need to export from the Palm desktop software to Outlook first, then sync. Anyway, you can only sync with Outlook to get all the contacts, no matter what contacts file you have.
For myself, I do have some questions to ask, hopefully someone can answer mine then. I am here to thank in advance.
1. If I am using WM6, it is true that installing a patch or driver then I can use a 4GB MiniSD SDHC card??
2. Since my device is brought from HK, it is from asian region, so my OS is a chinese version. As far as I know Upgrading OS can only be upgrading to the same region OS. You cannot change region. I am now using a chinese version WM6 OS. So, my question is can i able to change to english version WM6 OS?

Sorry MAZE, the guy is named ExGANDI

Rajko, to get the WM6 ENGLISH in a Russian(or whatever) device, do the following:
donwload SORGs pack (it contains Region unlock and an patched uninstaller) and the Eastern Europe firmware from the Asus official site. Then follow the instructions in Sorgs pack (they are in Russian).

I'm also getting very frustrated with the new tendency to create Operating systems for imbeciles, Windows Vista the leader. Vista is designed to be smarter than an average user and to judge for the human. I want the computer to do what I want. I will think was is appropriate and what is not. The problem with installing English OS on a Russian/Turkish/Whatever Asus p535 is one of such sad cases.

To the FRUSTRATED GUY named MAZE on the radio:
1) the radio is required to download traffic jam information via RDS.That's the primary use of radio in Etens and HTCs gps-enabled phones,as well as built-in car navigation (like in an X5 or Pathfinder)
2) I don't know why Asus saved on a 1 dollar radio chip in a so pricy device
3) in most cases, the radio is already integrated in the SirfstarIII chip.I don't know why Asus economised on implementation.

Compared to my late Glofiish x500, this unit is considerably thicker and clumsier, and the plastic is of low quality (buy a silicone case at once). The processor is faster, but its almost useless on a outdated 320x240screen: Asus saved again for no obvious reason.
It is uglier than Eten and especially HTC phones. Looks bulky like old Eten G500 or Mitac Mio 700
And the frustrating thing is that most of the Camera button cannot be remapped for something for useful.
The bluetooth headset profile and operation is worse then in Glofiish or HTC. I experienced voice and music cuts with my friends Moto ROKR stereo headset.He also has a P535 and has the same problems (no problems of Glofiish or HTC). Today I'll get my Ritmix BT stereo headset and try it out, hope no problems with this one.

In general, it's a standart WM5/6 GPS phone, no better than a Glofiish or HTC.I bought it only because I'm seek and tired of Etens (had G500 and X500), my X500 got smashed during sports, HTC p3300 is too damn slow (200mhz?in 2007?for Christ sake!), and Mitacs are too ugly. Other smartphones lack a BT module, or a Wifi module, or a GPS module, or are too bulky.
Hope to exchange my p535 for a Toshiba 920 as soon as the latter will be available.

hi guys, i saw some really cool comments and ONLY ONE good comment about the battery life of ASUS P535. this guy who said he bought this P535 and could use it for 4 days as phone. thats great!
on my case, i hardly used it, the battery run off and it lasted about 6-7hours. i was so angry and sad because my friends are using their PDA-PHONE for at least 2-3 days.
whast the problem? can we have solution?
i really cheated!!
secondly, if i am using it as a PHONE, how do i make sure the battery life could last me for a long time? Do i need to put it on HOLD after every call? or do i need to put it under STAND-BY each time after making a call?
also, if i didnt turn on the GPS programm, it wont consume much battery right? becuse on the CONNECTIONS PANEL, i only have PHONE, WIFI and BLUETOOTH. so, how i could make sure the GPS is not on?

please help. i am desperate.

I recently bought that ... that. It is like a Jet Fighter compared to all the phones I have seen before , and I have seen many. This is a real jewel. It is absolutely perfect. The only weakness is that the USB connection is a little bit slow.

I suppose if support for SDHC cards are provided through WM6.0 and required drivers, then all 4GB cards are compatible. So the question is if WM6.0 supports SDHC? Is the driver included or should it be downloaded and installed seperately? Where to download?

Based on read info it includes:
TomTom Navigator 6 (no maps), car charger, car holder and Windows CE 6.0. It got to have an English version too, right.
I just cannot anywhere to buy it. It even doesn't show on Asus website. Is it obsolete/discontinued already?
Any suggestion where to buy?

to marco,
the battery will not last long if you have your gps & wifi turn on all the time. that consumes lots of power. if you have them turned on, then it will last like 5 hours only. but if you have it turned off, it will last like up to 2 days. besides that, you could also reduce the screen brightness when on battery mode as well as the auto off the screen for power saving.

to U3%7:,
If you are from asia, then u can use the MapKing. U need to use it with another GPS software such as GPSgate2.0. This software will acquire data from gps. the mapking is just a map. it must use the data delivered by gpsgate2.0. I'm not sure if MapKing could get data directly from the GPS hardware from the PDA. I tried tht before but not working.
so the conclusion is, u have to turn on the Gpsgate, then you can use the MapKing.

I'm frustrated by people searching FM Radio in this type of... hmmm... phone? Damn... If it's SOOOOOOOOOOOOO important to have radio in the begining of 21-st century then, for christ sake, go buy some stupid handsfree with bulit-in radio. It costs how much? 5 USD? 3 USD? Nahhh...

Ohhh... and 'bouth that dumb Simbian/Win "contest"... I have Simbian phone also, and it crashes and freezes even more frequently then WinMob. IMHO this depends on usage and loadout much more then on OS.

Please excuse my bad English.
