ASUS P750 finally cracked to do owner's VGA bidding
Seriously, ASUS, what in the heck were you thinking? If you're going to imbue your P750 with a feature as hotly desired (particularly in the Windows Mobile world) as VGA resolution, what could possibly possess you to not merely gloss it over, but to artificially downgrade your high-end beauty to plain old QVGA? Blasphemy, we say -- and thankfully, some of the folks responsible for first noticing ASUS' indiscretion have come out and fixed it. Members Sorg and GreateVK from asusmobile.ru have crafted a rough fix, and say that a final version should be available to everyone within a week. If that's not an awesome (and unexpected) present to P750 users around the world, we don't know what is.[Via MoDaCo]
ASUS P750 secretly packing VGA resolution?
Here's one you may not have heard before: a manufacturer decides to stick a VGA touchscreen in some handset model not because it wants VGA resolution, but just because it got a killer deal on them. That's the rumor being floated on a handful of sites and forums about ASUS' monster P750 Windows Mobile 6 Professional device, with some sharp-eyed contributors noticing that each logical pixel on their devices' screens are actually comprised of -- count 'em -- four physical pixels. Indeed, a quick glance of the spec sheet for the alleged part number used reveals a "VGA/QVGA dual viewing mode," so the story seems to check out, and folks are apparently already hard at work enabling full 640 x 480 resolution on their beloved devices. Good luck, everyone!
ASUS P750 gets previewed, receives a rousing thumbs-up
Nedge2k over at Modaco has gotten his grubby mitts on an early release ASUS P750 and declares it a "Kaiser Killer." The P750 and the HTC TyTN II do compare very well on paper -- well at least what we know of the P750 -- and from all reports perform very well in the wild. Of course, the Kaiser Killer moniker stems from the I-can-do-it-all feature-set that this little guy has -- though the QWERTY vs. non-QWERTY will likely squabble about the true king 'til the end of time -- and the lovely form factor it is all shoehorned into. As a refresher the P750 packs GSM / GPRS / HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth, SiRFstarIII GPS, 3 megapixel camera, 520 MHz CPU in it's thin and light rubberized package. Sadly, the preview doesn't mention anything about HSDPA frequencies, and that's a potential deal-breaker for many on this side of the world. Expect more info as soon as we can get our hands on it.
Mystery Asus does-it-all handset gets a name and a face
Well, the rumored GSM / GPRS / EDGE / HSDPA and every other connectivity option handset from Asus got a face and name today, meet the Asus P750. As an update to our original bit a couple days ago, the handset is actually a Windows Mobile 6 Standard device, not Professional as we had posted. The camera specs are listed as a 3.2 megapixel jobby -- not too shabby huh friends? -- with a potential release date of October this year. With this as the flagship Standard device, we're stoked to see what the Professional iteration might look like. So while you hit the read link to learn more, we'll begin rolling our pennies in anticipation of picking this up as soon as it hits retail.
