The ASUS P735 has the following dimesions 59 x 109 x 19 mm. It is a device that has a compact and stylish design. It may not be the thinnest pocket pc device in the market (it is 4mm thicker than ETEN X500!) but still its size and weight (143g) place the ASUS P735 among the smallest pocket pc devices around. The ergonomics of the device are very good. The 2.8-inch QVGA display (240 X 320 Resolution) is positioned on top of a set of buttons and a very handy navigation pad. The navigation pad used on the ASUS P735 is much better than the HTC Roll you can find on the HTC P3300. It is a solid component unlike the roll of the HTC P3300, which sometimes gives you the feeling that it is broken and very loose. On the left and right of the navpad you can find in a rectangular form the Windows Mobile keys on top and two buttons on the bottom. In the middle of the navpad there is the OK button. On top of the screen there is the multicolour activity indicator for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and charging and a VGA camera used for Video Calling and for taking
self-portrait pictures.On the left of the device there is the dedicated camera button and the volume control. On the right hand side there is the HOLD button, a button for the voice volume and at the top the stylus placeholder. On the top of the device there is the miniSD expansion slot and the power button. On the bottom there is the miniUSB port that is used for charging and for connecting your pocket pc with a PC and the standard 2.5mm stereo headphone connector. Finally on the back of the device you can find the 2.0 mega pixel camera.

UMTS (WCDMA) 2100 MHz with 384 kbps UL/DL

The ASUS P735 is expected to very succesful because it combines a perfect design, a very powerfult set of connectivity options (3G,Wi-FI, Bluetooth) and one of the fastest processors available for Pocket PC devices at the moment. It is an alternative to ASUS P535 that does not have 3G support but it would be nice if the ASUS P735 also had a built-in GPS receiver.
