ASUS P550 review

Network and connections

Asus P550 is an Umts smartphone with Wi-Fi 802.11b/g connectivity and bluetooth, Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Professional operating system, equipped with advanced multimedia features and the latest-generation 3G technology. The P550 has an external digicam, while an internal one is absent, despite the presence of the UMTS interface. The choice to forgo video calling could be functional to the business target or, even more likely, to the destination markets (in some countries 3G connectivity is used solely for data transfer, not for videoconferencing)".
