Im using this phone for almost 20 days now and am very happy with it. Now im facing a small prob wherein i installed satnav,given to me,in the internal memory but thn it took up too much space, so uninstalled it properly and again reinstalled it to the memory card. After ths my entire storage card went blank, but it is stil showing that there are files but i cant see them in the card.(I didnt back up my card n now regrettin it)
Also my card reader is not detectable on my laptop so tht i can use a data recovery software on it.
Can anybody solve my prob. Please let me kno soon

After reading several reviews, I was skeptical at first to buy the P527. Regardless, I managed to get a great deal at MYR 750 (approx. USD 206) so I bought it anyway.
The Asus P527 is a feature packed phone with an adequate processor at a good price. It's not too sloggish for my taste. I'm very very satisfied with its performance, feature, and stability.
Why some people find it slow MIGHT be because of this:
*I'm not sure how many people might have experienced the following:
1. The Asus P527 has a TI OMAP850 (200MHz) CPU.
2. When I installed a software to check on the CPU, the factory setting was set to 176MHz.
3. So I clocked it back to 208Mhz and now it runs faster than before.
Be reminded that the OMAP850 is sorta like a dual-core processor. Frequency isn't everything.

Bad Service - Still after 6 months of askign for correction, nothing has been done.
Very poor service network. They changed the motherboard, upgraded the os.. and yet nothing... more than 10 visits to the service center and no results at all.
Now they have agreed for a replacement .. but even that does not seem in sight. Its been quite some time now that my p527 is now with ASUS royal service center.
WAITING ...

August., 12 Feb 2009Yeah, I bought it for 16K and sold it for 9.5 K . But isn't... moreevery handset price falls, but more rapidly of this becos - it has got anemic processor 200 mhz (doesn;t make difference to me as of now),no 3g (again) asus doesn't have resale value ( resale value is of those whose hanset's accessories u get freely in the market and lastly asus's efforts to make inroads and to gain foothold in PDA phone business

Yeah, I bought it for 16K and sold it for 9.5 K . But isn't it amazing how quickly the price can fall. I read it somewhere that there are other reasons for the fall in prices.But i surely feel that its a good buy in 10K.
So go for it guys...

August, 12 Feb 2009Its a steal for 10.5-11K. Go for it.i guess u changed your opinion, realising price -feature ratio, I guess u r little against if u bought it for the initial price at which it was introduced i.e . 17990.somebody in this section got it for 11990 with creative MP3 player. i guess it makes it cheaper than I'm being quoted
