That really is not so shocking, since the Asus P527 is the manufacturer’s first entry into the smart phone market in the United States. It has quite an enviable international reputation and it is considered something of a GPS powerhouse. But is it worth all the hype?

Well, the device definitely has a whole lot of potential, leaving reviewers eager to see what Asus will have next for the U.S. market.

But potential is a long way from successful, isn’t it? The Asus P527 has a tendency to, well, crash after it has been on for a while. The applications pile up, which causes the Windows Mobile interface to crash. It is slow even when one is not using a lot of programs.

So, the phone is underpowered by quite a lot, the dedicated buttons are not really intuitive, and some needed apps do not open. However, the navigation software is great, it is light, and the battery life is excellent.
