Asus updates the P526 with Asus P527 – ok, great

Asus debuts Asus P527 sucessor to Asus P526

Ok, so Asus has decided to update their 3G-less Asus P526 with, wait for it…no 3G! Apparently, the Asus P527 gets updated with WiFi. So it’s not too much of a disappointment, but we think Asus should have included some 3G – they went through all the trouble of releasing an update afterall. Other than the added WLAN integration, the Asus P527 will get the same SiRFStar III GPS receiver that took the spotlight on the predecessor. A quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) radio, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, microSD card slot, and FM radio – powered by Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional – round out the feature-set.

Word on the street (read: speculation) has the Asus P527 coming to France by year’s end – at a €500 (just north of $700) price point. We’re not sure if the addition of WiFi is going to justify the added expense of the Asus P527, but to each his own.

    ASUS Intentionally removed the Internet Calling feature. Their customer support sucks big time. Someone named Kitty Xia from Shanghai, China keeps responding with the same writings like a robot and the response takes 10-15 days. Keeps telling that I have to use a 3rd party VOIP software. Why should I need to when Windows Mobile 6 added this as a major feature and default one with the release of their Windows Mobile 6. Simply put, it’s not worth the money with all the hassle you have to go thru to get answers and support from ASUS.
