Asus P535

I have long since been of the opinion that if you have used one Windows mobile, you have used them all. They are generally slow, which makes using them a bit of a drag. Although you may find comfort in using Windows Pocket Mobile, there isn't much exciting happening in this for a long time. Phones differ from each other from time to time, but lacks revolution. Asus P535, however, has a few extra tricks up its sleeve.

Design
The phone is perhaps one of the sturdiest touch-screen phones I have come across in the market. The overall appearance, although, is dull and bland, with brushed gray and black finish. For the amount it costs, the phone should've been a better looking one. To be honest, there isn't much to the design. But, this perhaps, stems from the fact that people at Asus were rather busy tweaking the functionalities (we'll talk about it later). At 109 x 59 x 19mm and 145g, it is a bit on the bulky side, but the features do make up for this.

The phone comes with a 2.8-inch TFT touch-screen that can display up to 65k colors. Asus has departed from its earlier design and incorporated full-fledged touch-screen functionalities, with only a handful of keys for basic purposes. These buttons are placed below the screen. This includes, the four-way navigation keys, the left/right soft keys, take and end call buttons, one select and one open-key.

On the left side of the phone you will find the one-touch camera access button and just below that the volume keys. On the right side features the hold key and the voice command key.

On top you will find the power button and the memory hot swap slot. The back panel features a camera, a self-portrait mirror, flash and speaker. The 2.5mm jack can be found at the bottom of the phone along with the USB slot.
