If there is one thing that phones running on Windows Mobile could do is have a faster processor. The Asus P565 can now officially claim being the fastest phone, by using an 800MHz Marvel processor.
Besides that, the P535 has a 3 megapixels camera that can record videos at up to QVGA (320 by 240) resolution at 24 frames per second.To optimize finger navigation, the P565 uses Glide, the Asus version of HTC`s TouchFlo and Samsung`s TouchWiz.
Connectivity options are plenty, with HSDPA, GPS and wifi taking the limelight. The P535 is a tri-band phone, so it will not be available in all parts of the world.The screen is a VGA unit at 2.8 inches, above average but not a benchmark setter.
However, potential buyers will find the 128MB RAM does not complement the P565`s powerful processor. Never the less, 128MB is sufficient, but there are manufactures that include up to 288Mb RAM in their products. The p565 runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 professional.
