This Windows Mobile 6 smart phone offers free GPS for a phone, but it falls short in too many other areas.

Unfortunately, the P527 isn’t nearly as good as competing models from HTC, Motorola, or Samsung. The P527 is fine for checking e-mail, and it provides good call quality and a good GPS experience on the open road. We also appreciated the FM radio and...

Festooned with features, the Asus P527 phone (US$570 unlocked, as of 4/11/08) is near perfection--on paper. Its big 2.7-inch LCD and spacious keypad are immediately eye-catching, and under the hood the P527 includes Wi-Fi, GPS, an FM radio, and even re...

Asus first entry into the U.S. smartphone market is a GPS powerhouse. Does it live up to its international reputation?...
Excellent navigation software. Nice feature set, with some good extra apps thrown in. Light phone. Great battery life.
Terribly underpowered. Can hardly run included software. Dedicated buttons arent intuitive, dont open some necessary apps.
If anything, the Asus P527 has us more interested in Asus next phones for the U.S. market. The phone shows a lot of potential, especially in the top-notch navigation software, and the attention to battery life. Unfortunately, the phone borders on be...

When I first heard of the ASUS P527 I was pretty excited to give it a go. The idea of ASUS (known lately for the Eee PC and other laptops) making their own Windows Mobile touchscreen device with an integrated GPS and its own GPS software sounded great...

At one point, Asus marketed what was arguably the most powerful Pocket PC in the smallest form factor around—the A730. Since then, however, Asus has placed little focus on the U.S. market. That changes with the P527, the first Asus Windows Mobil...

ASUS needs to get the memo: Its about usability, people. The P527 Windows Mobile phone looks great on paper, with a slew of interesting GPS applications. But in practice I found the device painfully slow and incredibly buggy...
Excellent battery life. Interesting, unusual GPS apps and add-in software.
Software is painful to use, in large part because the device is so slow. No 3G.
ASUS may make fast motherboards, but the company underestimates the power required for a satisfying Windows Mobile 6 experience...

At the present moment the ASUS company is an active player on the market of Windows Mobile smartphones, but it does not take up the leading position at that (the third place with a huge difference as compared to HTC). The sales level and the model lin...
ASUS P527 became the golden mean between P526 without Wi-Fi and P750 with its fast CPU. It’s a stylish and handy device for those who needs an alphanumeric keypad and isn’t critical of slow performance. + Embedded keypad + Wi-Fi and GPS + Good...

The Asus P527 I reviewed the Asus M530W smartphone (here) about a month ago. It was a decently-priced BlackBerry-esque phone; today Im testing its cousin, the P527. The two models are similar in functionality, with the major difference being that whil...
