ASUS has recently unveiled its competitor to the original HTC Touch smartphone called P552w. The device competes with the original HTC Touch and not the Diamond because of the QVGA (240×320 pixels) screen, as opposed to VGA (480×640 pixels) which is used in the Diamond.

The ASUS smartphone relies on the quite fast 624MHz CPU and sports such things as built-in GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, 2 megapixel camera and more. The company’s Glide UI sits on top of Windows Mobile 6.1, ensuring users enjoy easy access to their photos, videos, RSS feeds and more.

Unfortunately, we’re not aware how much the ASUS P552w will costs once its released nor where you’ll be able to grab it. However, I would expect to see it hitting Europe within weeks, maybe months, with the price that’s about the same as the HTC Touch.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
