Did anyone notice that after upgrading to the new Windows Mobile 6.1, the Streaming player can no longer play youtube videos without crashing, very irritating also once you start the FM radio and then switch to another application you can no longer control the FM radio by the manual keys, you have to use the stylus to shut the FM radio,
For all people wanting to buy this, this is one buggy phone, I bought it and regretting it

RRR, 14 Oct 2008Dear all,
I am v much planning to buy this cell however ... moreI think the answers to your query has been answered at this place..
But still,
1)Network reception and clarity - N/w reception is good, hence preferred this over P320 n clarity is not a pblm..
2)user friendliness - Depends on how you can take it, I mean, to me its very much user-friendly
3)Battery performance - Excellent one. lasts till 3rd day, provided you charge it for 2-3hrs.. even with Wi-fi, GPS, calls, FM n other apps running, it lasts really long..
4)Overall performance and satisfaction - I think 717 have voted for it, you can read the whole reviews here... 8.7/10 @ GSMArena;-)

Karthick Prabu, 11 Oct 2008In my previous mobile O2 Neo,in the 'To' field, when I type... moreKarthick, I haven't seen this feature in the P527. But you can type a few letters of the contact's name (even a single letter will do) and then click on Menu -> Check Names. This will do something similar to what you have seen before - you will see a list of names matchng that pattern, and will be able to select one of these.
You can also type in multiple patterns separated by a semicolon, and you will be presented by their corrosponding matches in succession. You also have the option of switching to your Company Directory if you wish to search in there.
As for sending a Group SMS, you can send an SMS to multiple numbers by entering them on the To line separated by semicolons.

In my previous mobile O2 Neo,in the 'To' field, when I type a character, all the contact names which have that character will be displayed in a drop down. I just select the name which i need.
But in P527, the name drop down isn't there. Could someone please tell me whether this feature is not available in P527 or we need to enable it or something?

You will also loose any links for the apps which you have installed on the SD card, but this can be solved by simply reinstalling them.

It was not a tough decision to make. As a 1st time WinMo user, 2 weeks back on a monday evening, I had considered HTC Touch, as my friend had HTC S710 and I had no other choice, but to go for HTC Touch, which in Bangalore, was available for 13.1K. This was the end of my shopping. On Saturday, i went 2 the showroom to find out that Touch was now 16K!!!, as the $ rate went up(as explained by the showroom guys!!)
Now started the real fun;-). I came across a brand called ASUS!!!!!!!... The 1st handset I was shown was named P320, which "is a replica of Touch" opined the showroom female, "but with a good processor speed".
Ok logged into this site to find out that in P320 section ppl have compared it with P527. Now it was getting tougher, due to the www.offersforshopper.com offer, where P320 was available @ 10.4K and P527 @ 13.2K. So went thru the P320 reviews thoroughly once again;-) and Asus P320 it was...
Wondering why I have put it in P527 reviews!!! Well just read the recent opinions at GsmArena.com and found out 2 critical factors.
1.Battery life of P320(read todays review, am justified..)
2.Signal reception!!!!
I remember my horrible exp of using a Samsung set which had a poor antenna reception and thus no dual mind about it, as I keep travelling a lot on Biz visits.
Just at the extra cost of Rs.1800, i bought a P527 and also got a watch free:))) @ www.offersforshopper.com store.Soon they are gonna open up @ Delhi as well..
Will cut short the story:
1.Excellent battery life(2.5 days n still 45% left!!!). Charged it close to 3hrs.
2.The lock button(having been used to long * press & Yes with Samsung and Messages + *, Nokia way)
3.Upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 from Asus site!!!
4.Have been trying to activate Airtel GPRS, but these guys activated Airtel Wap n Airtel Live, which doesnt work with this handset, rather only GPRS/Mobile office works with this, but otherwise Wi-fi is always there.
5.Still haven't come to terms with GPS/SatGuide, but excellent support by SatGuide team.
6.Sluggish is the keyword associated with this processor, but as pointed out earlier by ppl here, I wander how people worked with 5-6 applications at a time!!! In a mobile...
7.Goto Skype site and you shall find Skype for PDA, versioned 2.2 and trust me, it worked like a charm and so does Fring, XPocketPdf, etc..
Many more good features...
On the flip side:
1.Stylus should be used, but the jog dial and the keypad is a best alternative.
2.Size of the Asus menu could have been more, but still am not dead!!
3.You click X and check your Task Manager!!. Found out some good tools in the P520 opinions posted by ppl like Prashanth, Prabhakar, Anonymous(who is this Anonymous??, he is found writing reviews everywhere and for every other brand!!)
The feeling of a WinMo has not sunk into me yet.
Otherwise, I feel, this phone is worth its cost and the attains the objective its needed to attain.
But one thing, I noticed after the upgrade was that the volume had increased in 6.1 version for the same parameters, when compared to Version 6!! Hmmm..

Achint, 07 Oct 2008Thanx man..so theres no option to remove the options of the... moreI guess, you got me wrong.
You can selectively check/uncheck todays programs as mentioned by Prashanth
(settings>today>items)
However with this method, once the wallpaper transperency level is set closer to zero(0%), start menu & even the items on today will not be visible that well (some theams may work well though.
Hence the work around method I mentioned earlier works better to me.
you may try either and choose the one that suites for you.
