Right, this is my first attempt at a video unboxing, so play nice!
 As mentioned in an earlier post, we've got our hands on a retail boxed Asus P750 (due to be released in just 18 days!) and what better way to share the joy of this with you than to have a little video unboxing!  For those of you living in a cave for the past few months, the P750 is one of Asus' latest and extremely well spec'd devices and is what could be considered the main rival to HTC's Tytn II (Kaiser). It has everything you'd expect from a modern Windows Mobile Professional device:

Thanks Alex - I'm thinking of buying a P750 so good to know someone who's been using it for a while with no particular gripes. Good to know the T9 works well.
 However I do hope to use it as a satnav device and note that it doesn't come with any satnav software. Do you run any satnav programmes on your device, or do you have any thoughts about satnav software compatitibility with the Asus? Rod. |

Yup, I use TomTom and Cameraware on the P750 and it works perfectly. The AGPS can also be set to automatically update when you connect the device to your computer via activesync. -------------------- |

Thanks Alex - I'm wondering about CoPilot 7, but it's good to know that a standard TomTom package works on the device. Presumably you use TomTom 6. |

Looks like a nice little device. I think I'll be waiting to see what HTC has to offer over the next 6months to a year...
Now that it's looking like the SE Xperia X1 is delayed I am on the look out for other potentials. OT: Alex Did you have a cold when you shot that? Sound a little under the weather/subdued. This post has been edited by Syphon Filter: Mar 2 2008, 23:06 |

awwww leave the Exec alone!
I happen to still use mine for satnav. It was a super device when it first came out! Good review of the device. Pity it Orange or T-mobile haven't sunk their teeth into it.

The i780 has an extendable stylus, which is fine for normal use. Even unextended it's alright unless you want to do some writing (which defeats the object of having a full qwerty a bit!!). The main problem for me is the square screen. It's fine for normal use, but means you don't get very good widescreen video playback. I do like the look of the p750 although I'm not sure about the joystick...and the HP 614c...and the Sony Ericsson X1 (mmmm!). |

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 )
