WAKE UP ASUS WAKE UP BEFORE YOU ARE DOOMED TO ANNIHILATION FROM THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND CUT THROAT INDIAN MOBILE PHONE MARKET. ASUS despite an excellent track record in motherboards has grossly erred in their marketing approach while launching their very first cellular PDA. ASUS brand is LITERALLY unknown and almost non existent amongst leading retailers of mid and high value range cellular phones & smart phones. Most retailers say ASUS has dumped their product on to them free of cost or obligation. Sarcastically they say "If sold 'fine', if not we'll return it to them". None of such rare retailers even had a demo version to display or preferably a live version to expose buyers of the Asus technical prowess & capability amongst cellular phone manufaturers, if at all it exists...but consumers can't know without actually seeing the product, evaluating it and then believing it. Lasstly Asus's media managers too have completely boobed on all fronts. A little bit is seen of the phone but only in print media. Nothing at all in electronic media. To cap it all Asus's after sales support network is not even heard of. Its no where. SO what do the consumer do if this phone goes down soon after purchase....?????? HOW THEN M/S ASUS EXPECTS A HIGHLY DISCERNING AND COST, FEATURE & QUALITY CONSCIOUS INDIAN CONSUMER TO EVEN CONSIDER BUYING ANY SUCH ASUS'S MOBILE PHONE. THIS BE DEEMED AS A RIDE WAKE UP CALL FOR ASUS MANAGEMENT WAKE UP ASUS WAKE UP +91 9910777122
