EXPERT REVIEW

In the past we have seen the Asus P320 pitted against the Touch from HTC, however, we found the HTC Touch to be a better option. Now, we take a look at the Asus P552w that is again being projected as a competitor to the HTC Touch. Though this has a snazzy name - Glide - it won't be enough to contend with the HTC Touch.

The Asus P320 had an interface developed by Asus, and along with the P552w, a series of phones with the same interface could follow soon. It's a finger-friendly interface that will make usability much more comfortable. Let's see if Asus P552w has enough to take the spotlight off the HTC Touch.

One of the best phone in it's price..Rs. 18,500/-..but no HYPE...lightweight..White-one looks awesome...very very fast...very responsive to touch...descent battery life(don't expect 7 days stand by)..doesn't hang at all...can play all sorts of music file.. BAD points: display is little dull, sound is low compared to Nokia.

Over all good phone. Battery life not that good, only lasts for a day. One thing i would like to note when you compare with HTC Touch or Viva. HTC Touch/Viva does not have 3G and thats the major plus point (at least for me) ASUS has over HTC. IF you compare it with HTC dimond which has got 3G but doesn't have extended memory facility.

This review is a crap.I feel it's a hastily scribbled piece if junk. As a user let me tell you pl. do not believe it. It's one of the best phone in the market. Excellent Battery, Speed, Clarity and you can do any damn thing with it. Price also reasonable Rs. 21,000/-(Ex mumbai). Just go for it. Better stuff than HTC.

I have heard from my friend dat this is fastest model available in the market. I have seen the product on the website. It looks pretty decent and not like any cheap china mobile. But not sure about how it would be in reality.

No offenses ... but the design does make it look like one of those cheap Chinese mobile phones. At almost 28K, i'd demand a much better looking products, a better camera capability and more drool maal. This give me nothing but a hole in my pocket...and a big one too.
