ASUS P527 Detailed Review published March 27, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Asus sells motherboards for computers but also notebooks (including the ultra popular Eee PC that is dirty cheap) and it makes also several Windows Mobile phones. However before buying it is worth reading a review and in this case it looks like this phone has some issues: The TI OMAP850 processor running at 200MHz is an unsuitably slow brain for a richly featured Pocket PC phone, especially when it comes to CPU and memory intensive applications like video playback and GPS navigation. Couple the slow processor with limited memory (64MB total and 24MB RAM available at boot) you’ve got a poorly performing machine. [...] What’s even more unsettling is that the device seems to have memory leaks which doesn’t help the performance one bit. When you quit applications the device doesn’t free up the expected amount of memory, and only a soft reset will get your memory back. As result, the ASUS not only runs video slowly, it also runs less-power hungry applications like music playback sluggishly as well. We got frequent out of memory messages while running 3-5 applications. The P527 comes with 128MB flash ROM with 29.32 MB free to store programs and files. To learn more, read ASUS P527 Review.
