Thread: Asus M930 Mobile Phone

The Asus M930 is a Windows 6 Standard phone with dual display. It is 3G compatible, has Wi-Fi but does not have GPS features. It is designed in a clamshell form so to get access to the second screen, you have to flip it open. For all the space available inside, the small screen comes across as disappointing. The Asus has a solid build quality and inside, it has a large, very well setup QWERTY keyboard.

Unfortunately, where the Asus falls short as a true phone for business purposes is its lack of a document creator and editor. The M930 comes with the ClearVue Document reader which can be used to view Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, Excel sheets and PDF files but cannot be used to create or edit anyone of them. This is a major shortcoming for a phone that is clearly aimed at working professionals.



Browsing the Web on the phone using Internet Explorer is an experience that might irritate some users while others won't mind it. We found the lack of a touchscreen most apparent when browsing through long pages as the browser would scroll through the links rather than the actual page. Emailing is a hassle-free experience since the phone uses Microsoft Exchange Server.

The phone has a 2 MP camera which takes good quality pictures without any effort. It is also able to play media files with the help of Windows Media Player 10 and we were satisfied with the playback and speaker quality. This phone is a reasonable purchase as it gives both features and performance.
