Conclusion: soon we will see much more phones powered by Windows Mobile with single-handed QWERTY keyboard and we know of more companies having such phones in development. Since Asus is selling their notebooks under their own brand, we can hope that also their Windows Mobile phones will be jointly marketed with notebooks - what will bring additional boost to Windows Mobile platform. After all if you already have Asus notebook and you are satisfied with it, then you certainly would be interested in getting also Asus smartphone...
