This is my first time owning an Asus windows mobile phone. Have been using products from HTC for the past couple of years. The big difference I've noticed comparing to HTC devices is the build quality of this phone is so solid. Also there is no chance of keys fading because the keys are made of laminated plastic. The outer shell also has a rubbery feel so it snugs firmly when you hold it.

I think XCPUScalar is rom dependent. It may work in some roms or not. Same with Pocket Hack master.

When I reverted to using stock rom, I've noticed that this device is battery hungry. From 100% to 80% in just 2 hours. Regardless if you still set the CPU mode to Power saving mode. If you set it to turbo mode, 20% decrease in just an hour, maybe more.

Anyways, went back to asus p552w stock rom. Then tried some minor tweaks using SKTOOLS. I tried experimenting with the results for days now and here's what I did. Go to Category then system tweaks then Optimize then on the screen click Action, then choose Performance, then Optimize. This will prompt you to restart your device for the changes to take effect. Then I set CPU mode to automatic.

I fully charged my phone to 100% before going to bed. Took note of the time, it was 10:42 pm. Woke up at 8:10 am. My battery meter reads 96%. I think that isn't bad at all. I'm sure anybody can do this. No risk in doing it. SKTools is very safe to use. One more thing, stay away from Pocket Mechanic. If you're a novice pocket pc user, this software can get you into a lot of trouble especially if you're trying to free up some storage space and do some registry cleaning.

this also applies to ASUS P565. both have Marvell processors. Hope this helps.

got this phone as a gift from my girlfriend. this is the best phone i've ever had. spent hours downloading software. some of which i never thought existed... like a decibel meter, wikipedia (i mean whole wikipedia. 2005 edition that is), call recorder, gps tracker, all in one movie player (coreplayer), palm emulator(style tap), talking dictionary, internet radio, usb drivers ( i can connect any memory card/flash drive and transfer files to and out of my device... now how cool is that. i don't need to turn on my pc just to transfer files on my phone.. makes me love my asus p552w more.

I think this phone rocks. I don't think there is any other phone as good as or better than this one.

This is a sturdy mobile. Faster than the HTC 3G touch.
user friendly, Stylish, Cost effective.

It dosent have the easy touch flow unlike HTC.

Is the white P552w available in Singapore? Asus Malaysia does not carry the white one because according to the sales rep, the 'finishing' is not as good as the black.
