what is that world clock app?
Phoenix @ May 14th 2008 1:58PM
Asus's own GUI. That's also why it has Home and Back buttons.
Like TouchFLO 3D

is it touch?

That is so ugly. Come on Asus you can do better. Specs are good though. My lord the clock just looks hideous. =P

ASUS' codename for its world domination plans is called
"RACE TO THE BOTTOM: PART IV"
They will force the cash strapped world to downgrade to laptops lacking optical drives and hard drives larger than 10GB - and they will push cellular phones for the equally cash strapped mobile phone market that is lacking features found in the iPhone and more expensive models.
Once they've achieved 60% market penetration, they will issue the "un log" command to their devices.
The world will quickly realize their internet devices have been disabled and they will go into a panic - killing one another and finally, themselves.
Asus will emerge from the ashes triumphant and will serve the heads of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs to the evil emperor Xanu on a platter made of bronze and einsteinium.

"lacking features found in the iPhone"
I know that you're being facetious (and are possibly insane) but still, really?
iPhone features Asus lacks:
• Multitouch
Asus features iPhone lacks:
• HSDPA
• 3.2MP Camera
• GPS
• MicroSD slot
• Vibrate??
• Doesn't look like a woman's makeup case (ok, tastes vary, but it's hardly what anyone would call a "manly" design eh?).
Of course, this same feature comparison could be applied to iPhone vs. the SE X1, Nokia n95, HTC Tytn II except that the SE and HTC HAVE multitouch.
The guy running the Apple hype machine is good.

Churma @ May 14th 2008 2:44PM

Vidit Bhargava @ May 14th 2008 5:06PM
buddy...do u just look for linux in a fone???
u askd d same for iphone...
Chris @ May 14th 2008 2:43PM
what i really dont understand is... these new phones are pretty sexy actually and the new 6.1 interface is pretty good especially with the new UI addons they have been putting on top to make it sexy...
but why the hell are they so expensive, hell an iphone is 500$ at most... with 8gb at minimum, yet we have this and others likeit debuting for 700$+ WTF>
Phoenix @ May 14th 2008 3:21PM
BECAUSE unlike the iPhone networks subsidise these phones. Making them cheaper on contract.
Churma @ May 14th 2008 2:50PM
Chris, I hope you don't mean this Asus phone is "pretty sexy" It looks like crap! Now the HTC Diamond looks great. Why are the prices so high is a good question. I am looking foward to the Sony XPERIA X1 http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/summary/x1 which pretty much has it all for what I need.
Richard Lai @ May 14th 2008 4:58PM
Agree. The HTC Touch Diamond and the SE Xperia X1 are way sexier than the Asus. Now it's only the 3G iPhone left in my wishlist.
Asus makes good looking laptops, but the looks of their handhelds have never quite made it to the HTC level. Come on guys!
Chris @ May 14th 2008 2:51PM
i meant the Sony and HTC lol :) i know this isnt sexy
matt @ May 14th 2008 3:00PM
I am waiting for anything with the android UI :)
Bakk @ May 14th 2008 5:08PM
Please can someone just freakin put out an Android phone already!

The appeal of using old-style flip-down gap-in-the-middle vintage clock-radio numbers (with a new font) on an LCD is what, exactly? Nostalgia?

How can 2 points on Earth be 39 hours apart? Hmmmm.
