For Sale Asus P526 - Less than one week old

Reason- Upgrading to Asus P527

Loaded with Destinator Navigator with All India (detailed) as well as Chennai street level maps

With original box/bill/all accessories including a car holder/car charger and casing

Here's an excerpt from my take a few days after I got the phone

The Good:

* The price
* The weight - it weighs much less than would you would expect from the way it looks
* Great accessory bundle - best accessories bundle I have ever seen with any device
* Dedicated key/screen lock rocker switch on the side

The bad:

* No 4 way joystick/pad - what were asus designer thinking?
* Lacks QWERTY keyboard

What I couldn't care less about

* The phone seems as sluggish or as fast as other (which means most) WM devices with a TI OMAP 850 processor and 64 MB RAM (same hardware as say the HTC touch)
* Seems fairly stable- Hasn't crashed on me during regular usage so far
* The camera quality - Fair, nothing great, not bad either... can't expect too much from a fixed focus camera anyway
* The GPS chipset is a sirfstar III chipset. However, my car PCs GPS unit (same chipset) picks a lock faster than the GPS on this device
* No wi-fi - I personally have no need for wi-fi on my phone - For some, it could be a deal breaker
* It's good to have a keypad on a phone - I can live with pulling out the stylus for PDA functions but definitely not for making calls

If you look around for reviews on the net, do bear in mind that the price point at which it has been reviewed at is over $500 (or double the price in India) which puts it at a disadvantage as compared to other phones in that price range which typically use a faster processor/more RAM

This phone on the other hand will perform the same as a HTC Touch /HTC P3300 etc

Nearly all mid-range PDA phone use the same basic hardware platform which is TI OMAP 850 proccy with 64MB RAM and run the same OS

There is no reason why your phone should be any slower than say a HTC Touch or similar.
This possibley means you have some crapola stuff loaded on your phone which is causing the phone to slowdown

try installing a good memory/task manager and see if closing out unnecessary apps/processes help
