        by the way...I now bought the Asus P735, and this what I have used to post this message. this is a forum not a person to person posting. so to start with...post anything, anyone CAN post their opinions.

          and by the way, i don't know anyone that owns a 3310.. and if you read my post in regards to jumping to conclusions, it was directed to a particular user. not you or anyone else on this thread. so i don't know why you felt the need to stick your nose in another persons discussion..

            uma, and what makes you think you can judge either the p525 or the e90?? you don't own either one.. And another thing, until the new asus arrives, and a complete review has been done, it is completely senseless for you to assume it will be a capable and reliable phone. take the imate 8150 for example, good features a few months ago, but until now hasn't been released yet. same goes for asus, until the new model is out, it is all talk. same goes for your statement regarding the e90i.. until it's released it's speculation. and i bought the e90 expecting that an i series version would be released. i needed a phone to replace my junk p525.. and the e90 did just that.. i agree that nokia prices drop quickly, but so do other phones. even the p525 doesn't have that good of a resale value. no phone does, just like a car, as soon as you drive it the value drops.

              Got the P525 for 5 days, so far so good. Very satisfied.

                To Marty...

                Just wait 3 months and you will see the E90i.

                just like the previous N series after 3 months they release i series why??

                because just like for the N90, N93 and N95 all of them are phones that recieve the HIGHEST complaints in nokia N series.

                Like bugs, hangs, and slow speed prosessing.

                So if you thing you made the right choice with the E90 it's you opinion but for my opinion it's not. Why?

                1. Resale value down to 40% in just 3 months. $900 becoming to $600 that a waste of money.
                2. New Model comming in just 3 months to replace your new phone.
                3. Symbian phone against Windows Mobile? No way, you can do microsft documents but do you have all the features?
                4. 3G, HSDPA QWERTY keyboard, 3.2mpcam is good but don't compare it to the 1.5year old P525. but DO comapre it with the P750 see the difference.
                5. Nokia service? WHAT, they have one of the most TERRIBLE customer service I have ever experienced. I was an N70 user befor I switched to Asus V80 and let me tell you Asus V80 may not have all the N70 features but it can pack a punch with bluetooth V1.2, Autofocus camera and up to 4GB cappacity.

                3G?? who needs 3G if you are talking to an 3310 user.

                If you say we are jumping conclusions your'e wrong, simply comparing the E90 to the P525 is just plain wrong to start with.

                Just for me I am sure you will be bound to make a mistake you bought the E90 because the E90i will come it's way soon.

                    hey Uma
                    p525 has wifi b,and p750 has wifi b,g and n.
                    so i suppose that in your school you have wifi g connection(that should help).
                    summery of this n is faster then g and g is faster then b,so you will have much faster internet with p750.
                    but i dunno how could pda help you with ur study?
                    anyway i am updating from p525 to p750 when it will be out.

                      Until now I haven't bought the Asus P525 but I have enough money for the P735... The Asus P526 has no wi-fi so it's out of the choices.

                      And now the P750 has now showed up... and just saving a little more and waiting about 4 months will make me have the P750.

                      I am a college student now...should I buy it now or wait?

                      Is the HSDPA, EDGE and 3.2MP will help me more as an student? because Wi-Fi in my school is free and I want a PDA phone now to surf.

                      Guys please post what you think is the best option

                        When will they produce smartphones without touchscreen? i'm eagerly waiting for an ASUS branded product in a compact hardkey based form. like the imate SPL and Samsung I600/motorola Q. since they were the only brand that incorporates autofocus as a standard camera feature in most of their mid-to-high end phones :)

                          To: ppc-doc - It seems to me that P750 screen size is smaller than P525. It could be 2.6" for P750 while P525 is 2.8".

                            they took all my wishes and put then in one high end device called p750.

                            Asus learn with p525 ,p526 and now the top result is p750

                              av, i don't know why you felt the need to respond to me when I was posting to ppc doc and crk. It was a very simple A and B conversation. And why you would mention that I jumped to conclusions dumbfounds me, because in no way, shape or form did I do that. It is you perhaps that assumed I was doing so. Keep in mind that Gsmarena isn't the only forum that discusses this phone. So if you are basing the p525's durability and reliablty on this forum alone, you my friend are the one that is jumping to conclusions..

                                  Do your homework and look at the demographics. People that would buy the p525 are the same people that would purchase the e90.. I never mentioned th n95 so i don't know why you brought that up. Another thing, touch screen isn't that big of a deal. Spend a few hours with an e90 and you will forget about the touch screen. Besides, for me, a touch screen serves no purpose except that you have something else to worry about breaking. and a touch screen will never give you the clarity and depth in pixels as a non touch screen..

                                    i am not a guru r what ever ,just try to answer some question in here based on my experiance with pocket pc and phone.

                                    you cant put touch screen an none touch screen phone in the same share of the market.
                                    e90 is sick same as n95(top of the market phones) -why u wanna compare 1.5 years old asus p525 to not even couple of months old e90 or n95???

                                      And who made you the guru of smart phones?? I owned an p525 a few months ago and sold it as the keypad and joystick were going crazy.. It's not only 3rd party software that people are after. it's longevity, build quality, in call quality, ease of use, product support, in some cases resale value, processor speed, hanging, speaker quality, camera and video quality..etc..etc.. the list goes on and on.. if you are happy with you r p525 then congrats.. i wasn't.. so at the end of the day you can keep yours and i'll enjoy my e90. and yes they can be compared because both the p525 and the e90 have the same market base..if you dont know what market base is, it's the type of people that would purchase either phone.. wow, typed all this out on my beautiful e90 keyboard using the speedy wifi b/g. and this website looks perfect with the 16 million color tft screen.. oh that right,you don't have that do you doc.. you only have a measley 65 thousand..let me tell you, the extra 15 million colors makes a whole hell of a lo of difference when viewing multimedia or documents.. Edge, 3g,hsdpa,3.2 mega pixel camera with 30fps of video recording.. hmmm.. none of this with the asus..like I said, the p525 is out dated..

                                        e90 is a symbian,p525 is touch screen windows mobile device.
                                        you have nothing to compare here,the most stable pocket pc is the asus p525.
                                        millions of application and games for asus p525.
                                        you lucky if you can find 20 application and 20 game that run on e90.
