ASUS is the latest manufacturer to offer a mobile phone with a large 3.5-inch display.
Designed for business-savvy professionals who appreciate a screen as big as their ambitions, the P835 is equipped with a large 3.5″ touchscreen that runs at WVGA resolution – offering five times the number of pixels of most phones and delivering the best document, photo, movie and website viewing experience possible.
The ASUS P835 is powered by a 528MHz Qualcomm 7201A processor and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with an updated version of the Glide user interface. It comes with quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and tri band (900/1900/2100MHz) HSPA/UMTS connectivity, the aforementioned 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen display, 288MB RAM and 256MB ROM with an additional 4GB of internal storage, GPS/AGPS, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, a microSDHC expansion slot, a 5MP auto-focus camera, and a 1100mAh battery.
On the software side, the P835 comes with Opera Mobile and an updated version of Glide, the ASUS user interface for Windows Mobile. Glide has been given a significant facelift over its predecessor, including new icons and a new theme. It also comes with a number of keyboard options including 2-key, half QWERTY and full QWERTY virtual keyboard modes.
ASUS has yet to reveal pricing and availability details.
