Can any1 tell me:
1) How to delete all the contacts (at one time without doing it one by one) in ASUS P527 ?
2) Where do I get a new body (there are many scratches on my phone) for it ?
-Any website, any service centre number, etc

Pricing - Reasonable
Operations - OK
Audio - Bad
Design - OK

Pros
Has a number pad with joystick, no need to remove stylus every time also useful while keying in numbers, assigning frequently used apps to few keys
Sync option with MS Outlook, works very fine too!
Multiple input methods - found Excellent Transcriber (writing using stylus) and keyboard.
Good Business card reader
Maintains Call history
GPS (but found it slow in BSNL, India with EDGE tech)
Apart from regular recording, Recording of telephone conversation
Good contact details with their birthday, anniversaries and other info.
Being delivered with built in car charger and car mobile holder - useful for GPS navigation


Cons
In design it looks outdated; would have been excellent if it had retained P526 design
Requires a facelift to Calculator; the buttons on screen appears as a project of amateur
Audio - relatively not that loud for music
XP fails to recognize mobile when re-plugged to system
Recording of telephone conversation stops on any alarms, message or incoming call
GPS slow (India - EDGE technology); I observed it speeds up when blue tooth / wifi is disabled
MW6 issue - Does not have an option to close the application; available in Asus settings
Voice command app did not impress me; or may be I failed to configure it properly

I feel this is a product with true value for money with few compromises.

I was looking for smart phone, reasonably priced with Windows Mobile 6, Office - editable, wi-fi, touch screen and number pad.
ASUS had it in their product list. P526 is very atractive but I had to compromise with wi-fi if I ever had to go for it.

Greed grows - I feel would be ideal with extended three-year warranty!
