Asus P565 review

January 7, 2009 | By Surur

The Gadgetmix has managed to get their hands on an Asus P565 and is giving it a thorough going over.

The first thing they did run it though a variety of benchmarks, and they confirm the smartphone is fast, fast, fast. It beats the similar-specified HTC Touch Diamond in most benchmarks, and also feels snappy in real use.

Gadgetmix also confirms the device has great screen sensitivity.

Keep an eye on the Gadgetmix for the next installment of their review and to see the rest of the benchmarks.

Just another shinning example of horrible Qualcomm performance. You want to see a real change. Try the Omnia vs. Touch Diamond. It’s night and day

The future is now. This is the generation that was lost wasting time on Qualcomm SoCs.

The omnia is reactive yes but not better than the Asus P565.

So, i dont understant why Asus have built it on, a 3.1 mpixels only, no sensor, no Image stab too

The great news is the 800mhz processor and the sirf star 3 gps chipset.

I’m waiting feeback for the gps detection.

Wohow, they just’ve arrived to the eshop nearby… Will wait for the full review first, though.

I have just tested the actual p565 out of the box with std apps attached to it and found out that it is not the fastest & smoothest pda phone around even though it comes with a 800mhz processor , supprisingly it still cant beat htc touch hd & after so many compliments and benchmarking test by so call experts reviewer , it still lags here & there , inconsistant high speed & slow speed when u use it , u can imagine of it hanging / freezing if u install more apps / games into the p565 . The glide ui is the worse in lagging terms , i think maybe it’s due to low ram – 128mb and it’s slow rom , maybe have to wait for rom upgrades to see again how it perform , but until now , only people who dont know about htc brand may be induced into buying asus . Asus still a year or 2 back in terms of smooth speed processing when compares to htc in my opinion . I felt dissapointed because of wrong info gathered from a few reviewers of p565 that it is the fastest pda phone around , but they didint mention intermittent lagging when u use it . To confirm my findings , please test the actual unit first before u buy , if i m wrong then pls let me know because i m a keen follower of speedy pda phones . So far i found iphone is best & htc touch hd second , anyone have any other brands & make u find good or better , pls feel free to comment , thks & cheers
