Trying to keep up with HTC’s TouchFLO, ASUS has launched the P552w PDA phone which features Glide – the innovative touch-responsive user interface that ASUS has designed for navigation. The Global launch was in September of this year and the handset is now getting ready to hit Indian shelves.

Running on a Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional OS, the P552w is equipped with a 624MHz processor, internal GPS with Google integration, and Gester technology that enables users to perform a variety of navigational actions – such as selecting, zooming, scrolling and flipping through shortcust menus much like HTC’s TouchFLO. Their versions are called Multi-Home, Anytime Launcher, EziPhoto, and EziMusic. The handset also supports WLAN, Bluetooth and of course features USB connectivity. It comes equipped with a 2MP camera as well.


Through a specialized feature called ASUS SMS Location Link, users can send a link embedded in an SMS of their location that when clicked on will show up on the receiver’s handset on Google Maps. ASUS P552w also features a convenient Google Search Bar on the 'Today' screen that makes it easier to perform online queries. The ASUS P552w also houses applications that enable easy access to web content like RSS newsfeeds, YouTube movies and photos on Flickr.

The ASUS P552w PDA phone is available for Rs. 27,900 and should offer other i-Killers like the Touch Diamond some heavy competition. But let’s wait and see.
