Top GPS Guide

ay be chunky, but it packs in a huge array of features. Combined with an equally impressive software bundle, the result is an excellent multifunction handheld that should appeal to a wide range of mobile professionals.

With 3G/HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a GPS receiver, the Asus P750 is a well-connected device. The P750 combines the handheld-oriented Windows Mobile 6 Professional operating system with a mobile-phone-style form factor, and comes with a generous bundle of additional software. It’s expected to be released in the next few weeks with a price of ￡329.

The P750’s dimensions — 58 by 113 by 17mm thick — are not exactly svelte. And at 130g, it’s of above-average weight, although by no means uncomfortably heavy. On the plus side, this device is packed with features and also admirably easy to use.

The touchscreen measures 66mm (2.6 inches) from corner to corner and has the standard-issue 240×320-pixel resolution. The number pad is relatively large, as are the Call and End buttons to its left and right respectively. Beneath the End button is a Cancel key, while the Call button sits above a button that accesses the Mode Switcher utility. You can assign four items — applications or settings — to this key, each press taking you to the next one in the list.

Immediately above the number pad are the four standard Windows Mobile shortcut buttons: the Start menu button, an OK button and a pair of softmenu buttons. In the centre of this quartet is the navigation key — in this case, a mini-joystick. We find mini-joysticks rather fiddly to use, and the example used in the P750 seems especially irritating because of the device’s otherwise exemplary ergonomics.

Features
The P750 is powered by a 520MHz processor and runs Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional. It’s a tri-band GSM handset with GPRS/EDGE and 3G/HSDPA connectivity supporting download speeds of up to 3.6Mbps with suitable network coverage.

The device has 256MB of flash ROM and 64MB of SDRAM. After a hard reset, our review sample reported 147MB of free storage memory. This can be augmented with microSD cards.
