There always seems to be something missing from every mobile phone offering on the market. We’ve almost resigned ourselves to being happy with what we can get. Then, we word from The Unwired View that Asus is working on a badass Windows Mobile 6.0 Porfessional smartphone with GPS and HSDPA! The phone has been somewhat confirmed (through Unwired View’s sources) that the handset is a P-series device with built-in GPS. And, with a spec-sheet that looks like a tech-head’s handset wet-dream, we just can’t wait for this thing to launch!
Let’s see, it’s got GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA (3.6 Mbps!), WiFi, Bluetooth, FM radio, 3.2 megapixel camera, Marvel 520 MHz PXA27x CPU, 256 MB ROM/128 MB RAM, and that SiRF III GPS receiver (!) – all running under Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional. Whew, now that‘s what a mobile phone’s feature set is supposed to look like!
Oh wait, we can think of just one more thing to add – a full QWERTY-keyboard. But, then again, if Asus can pack this much tech into this device, adding a keyboard seems perfectly logical for a future model.
UPDATE
The Asus P-series will be branded as the Asus P750. We’re looking for an October luanch, but we still don’t know if it will rock GSM or US-friendly HSDPA frequencies. Stay tuned!
