Comments on Asus M930 Windows Mobile Smartphone

Despite the rather austere Windows Mobile interface, the M930 is actually a pretty successful phone. It is bigger than the HTC S730, but its solid build and phone-like feel mitigate this. I like its bigger screen hidden under the lid too. I certainly like the spacious, responsive keyboard. And I like the fact it has a pretty sensible line-up of phone hardware - there's no GPS, but mobile data is swift at 3.6Mbit/sec HSDPA and you get Wi-Fi included as well. It has a flaw or two - the implementation of the function key is just bonkers, and the camera isn't very good - but these are minor issue. True it's more expensive than the HTC S730, but you should be able to get it free on some kind of contract soon, and that will make it a tempting proposition for those who prefer the more phone-like functionality of Windows Mobile standard.

Overall

7/10

This is a very good smartphone, with a very good keyboard. Unlike the reviewer I found the camera very good for a 2Mp device, but sadly without flash. The only downside is the short battery life, as on most Windows Mobile devices - just about two days, if you use instant mail (setting the auto sync to "as it arrives" - i.e. Blackberry stile). Synchronizing mail onece an hour will extend battery life, but I need instant mail).
