Asus to launch P525 in Singapore

Reuben Lee | May 05, 2006

At an Asus event held recently, CNET Asia was able to catch a glimpse of the company's P525 PDA-phone. In an aside, local sales manager Joseph Hoo confirmed that the device is slated for rollout in Singapore possibly within the next few months. On first impressions, this quadband phone bore design similarities to the BenQ P50 PDA-phone. However, in place of the P50's QWERTY keypad, the Asus featured a regular number pad much like those found on standard mobile phones.

The P525 had been announced earlier at the CeBIT 2006 fair in Hannover, Germany. Specs-wise, it will have a 2.8-inch 16-bit QVGA display, a 2- megapixel camera and a miniSD card expansion slot. Inbuilt connectivity options include 802.11b Wi-Fi, infrared, Bluetooth (version 2.0) and USB (version 1.1). No pricing detail was given.
