Thx for the vid.. I am almost sure that I will buy one as soon as they come out.

Question:

When you're typing a message on the P750 it looks like the phone can't keep up with the speed you're typing with and it therefore you almost can type in a complete word before it appears on the screen. In my everyday i'm typing a "bit" faster than you're doing on the video, and also i tend to send a fair amount of message's each day. Is it because your ROM version isn't the final or do you think that the final version can't keep up with normal (or a bit faster) typing either?

I've never had a smartphone/PDAphone before which is why I am comparing it to a normal mobilephone which off course can keep up with even a 13-year-old girl

I am hoping that the P750 can do the same.

Sorry for my rather bad english, but hope that you can help me with my question.

Thanks in advance.

//Sørensen (from Denmark if you're wondering

I think that might just have been the video. I gave it a go just now to double check (typing as fast as possbile!!) and it didnt seem to have any problems

Great Video mate cheers for that.

Could you tell me if its possible to lock this phone to GSM only? (phone menu > band)

Just that the HP 614 seems to not have that function which has put me off somewhat.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Joost39. Nice to see you here. You know me as SBC

Haven't been keeping up with MS devices since the Nokia N95 revolutionized my world, and the TyTN II failed my expectations (slow, bad cam). But as most of you here surely know, Symbian seems to have committed suicide a few days ago by locking their smartphones to prevent the users from using free software, so it looks like the end of my S60 adventure.

The P750 looks very nice, although I think the screen could have been a bit larger. There certainly are space for it. Would you say this is the MS worlds answer to the Nokia N95 8GB or should I look elsewhere? A slider would be great, but for T9, not qwerty. Too big and unhandy. I most likely will be replacing my device by mid year...

The speed of TomTom is also important to me, because it seems to me like devices are getting slower, not faster. My HTC Magician ran TT like a dream, but since then the frame rate looks to be going down, for some reason. I have searched YouTube for vids of the P750 running TT but in vain. If the author of this article have the time, it could be rather interesting.

Ok. And any thought on the issue if this is the closest thing MS have to the N95 8GB right now?

Its the closest thing to N95 8GB but with the touchscreen. I love the facts about this unit and hope the bluetoothissue I/and others have with the iPAQ 614c is better in the P750.
iPAQ 614c too - but wouldent recommend it.

Question:
How good is its video playback?

Its supposed to have major multimedia problems: http://www.modaco.com/content/Pocket-PC-Ge...50-i-mate-etc-/

Is it comparable to the Kaiser/Cruise in this feature?

Guys, are there specific tests you'd like me to perform?

Could you run VSbenchmark so we could compare it to Kaiser?

How is the battery life?

Have you noticed any kinds of performance issues due to that it only got 64MB of RAM?

Noticed any problems in general with it?

Battery life is average for a device of this type. I can get a week out of it if I don't use wifi/3g/bt/gps and just use it for calls/sms. With all the bells an wistles running, you're looking at about a day but as I say, that's pretty much the same as the rest of the device like this.

Not had any performance issues due to the lack of RAM and with the CPU in turbo mode, it's one of the fastest devices around

Not had any real problems with it in general that a software update wouldn't fix - I'm told one is due soon but in the mean time, Asus have release a couple of patches which seem to work well.

Does it's GPS work without the need of a SIM card? (as in without the "Assisted" part?) or is it required to update GPS information every 3rd day or so?

Yep, works fine without a sim or without updating the AGPS software

Amazing.. All I need is for a Danish version to be released, or at least a way to add Danish xT9.. Do you know if that's possible on WM Pro? I know it is on WM Standard.
