Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

ASUS is rumored to have a new Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional-powered smartphone in the works, with its Glide 1.5 user interface in action. The Galaxy7 supposedly sports a 3.5″ WVGA touchscreen display and hides a 5 megapixel camera with 4GB of internal storage.

The ASUS Galaxy7, which may also be released as the XDA Zest for O2 in Europe, also packs GPS, WiFi, and a microSD card slot for expanded storage. The smartphone should hit the market with quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) and 3G on board, though nothing is official.

ASUS, launched its new P552w smartphone last Friday. The P552w is a Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional-powered smartphone, and the first such to use the finger friendly Glide user interface that ASUS developed. The P552w greatly resembles HTC’s original Touch smartphone, which arguably started the rush towards finger friendly Windows Mobile smartphones with its TouchFLO user interface.

The P552w packs a fair amount of power under the hood, thanks to a 624Mhz processor, 256MB of internal memory, and 128MB of RAM. Tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900MHz) support and UMTS 2100MHz support, with HSDPA for fast data transfers, is also on board. WiFi supplements the HSDPA data, and Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR offers speedy short-range connections.
