Sure, it's nice enough, but no WiFi? No VGA? No keypad? The P750 is obviously another league...?

I agree P - as you know by now - I love the P750
 , but gave up after the 4 cracking corners.... Now it seems that ASUS will repair it! I hope so!

P750 for a few months until someone releases something better. HP seem to be on the ball and have some good devices on the way. I guess Asus must be well on the way with their next devices by now too. HTC still nothing to be interested in yet.. yet cause i am excited about the new touch flo. Should have my device later this week! excited! |

QUOTE(Paul (MVP) @ Apr 29 2008, 17:17) Still no cracks on my (Hong Kong) device, I still love it too! I wish the VGA ROM worked with the Camera better, but it does look completely amazing  P Hi Paul, you still running rom 0.17? I'm expecting delivery tomorrow. Did anyone manage to find a dumped UK rom to flash it back to if needed? Also, you mention in previous posts that you are not experiencing any noticable memory leaks but other people are suggesting its a serious problem. -------------------- SPV > MPX200 > C500 > QTEK S100 > SPV M600 > MDA II > HTC Kaiser

Also, you mention in previous posts that you are not experiencing any noticable memory leaks but other people are suggesting its a serious problem. I'm currently running the 0.17 VGA rom, and it's steady at around 16MB of free memory while the WWE SG00 rom was steady at 21MB. That's after about a week of usage without rebooting the device.

Having been through the thread and googled, I have a few of unanswered questions about the P750 which I hope someone who has one can answer. I've been waiting for a device that fits my Phone/PDA/GPS needs and think if the following are OK that I will be tempted with this one...
1) What is the screen visibility like outdoors in bright sunlight? I see references to it having a transflective screen, but heard reports about the Tytn II/Kaiser also having a transflective screen but for some reason not being very good outdoors. Just found also a zdnet.de test report saying the P750's screen is hardly usable in sunlight - http://66.102.9.104/translate_c?hl=en&.../pe-51276817,8/ 2) For TMC, is some sort of additional module / accessory required, or is the hardware in-built? On Expansys it says: "• Support optional TMC module (depens on countries - Not for UK at present)". I know the TMC service is required and in some countries (e.g. UK) that is only available with subscription, but would the P750 work out of the box with freely aired TMC signals in Europe? Anyone used this feature with their p750 and their nav software? 3) Has anyone had Navigon PDA software (http://www.navigon.com/site/uk/en/products...obile_navigator) working on the P750? Thanks Mike |

1. As Paul says it is bad in sunlight.
2. Havn't tried TMC here in Denmark yet, so no idea. 3. Yes. I've installed Garmin Mobile XT, TomTom Navigator 6 and Navigon Mobile Navigator 6.5 and all 3 applications are working perfectly. |

QUOTE(Amplificator @ May 1 2008, 20:49) 1. As Paul says it is bad in sunlight. Isn't this a fact of life with all hi-res screens though, because of the increased pixel density? There simply isn't enough space between pixels to let ambient light through to the reflective layer. This post has been edited by Metoo: May 1 2008, 22:49 |

Hi, tried the GPS on my way home and with the "other bluetooth unit"-setting and it worked much better than before, but it still took a very long time to get a valid signal, it can take up to a minute or so. Is this normal or not?

Is this normal or not? That seems about right. It depends if your GPS Catcher is up to date and where you are. If you are in a building, between very large buildings it might take a bit longer than if you are in a clear area. |

hello there guys, been toying around with this nifty device of mine but have hit a few dead ends of late, on of which is how do i connect this to my laptop and create a mobile internet connection?
internet sharing does that but im using the gprs which isnt the settings for the wireless modem setting for HSDPA or 3G, i have asked my network operator a million times over but they have concluded that testing on an Asus is not gonna happen anytime soon so they only know what is the configurations like on a HTC or Dopod kinda device. any suggestions? thanks. -------------------- Waiting on A Life |

No, but I'm running 0.17 which is basicly the same as 0.18 in terms of stability. 0.18 allows you to switch between QVGA and VGA using ResSwitch in the menu. It also supports both 64MB and 128MB ram, and will use what is available. The memory is stable at around 16MB with 0.17 which doesn't seem to cause any trouble. I'll be upgrading to 0.18 once I get the time
