User Review for Asus M530w
Good for a first time Smartphone user
May 28, 2008Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: connectivity, keypad, slim profile,
Cons: battery life, menus
Opinion:
I've had this phone for 4+ months now and so far, my only beef with the phone is the fact that the USB port is now loose. This causes the charging process to be cut off inadvertently. I end up thinking I charged the phone for several hours, only to find out it was never charged. This even after I make sure I get the charging icon on the battery indicator. Also, I recently found an error message whenever I try to go to the Media Player library and it is not allowing me to create a playlist and manipulate my media files. I hope a firmware upgrade will solve this. Overall, I'd say it's a good phone for somebody who is getting a smartphone for the first time. But if you're somebody who's had a lot of experience with other smartphones, then you'll know better.
