Ever since Asus announced its forthcoming P565 smartphone yesterday with an 800 mhz processor, I’ve been marveling at the thought of having that much power in a Windows Mobile device. The P565 is 3G network-capable , supports b and g Wi-Fi connectivity, and has SIRF GPS built into a package that’s only about 4″ x 2.5″.
Then someone asked me how long the battery could possibly last while running that fast of a processor. After checking out the specs for the P565, the results were, well, unbelievable.
The Asus P565 spec sheet shows 3 hours of talk time on a 3G network. That’s not a whole lot and doesn’t take into account other battery-draining activities such as checking email, web-surfing or multimedia features.
The truly unbelievable claim is that the P565 has provides 250-300 hours of standby time. That’s completely ridiculous. Have you ever had a phone that could go over 10 days without having to recharge? I can barely make it through a day without having to juice up my phone, granted I’m a heavy smartphone user.
The P565 still looks to be quite an impressive device. I haven’t played with the Asus Glide interface, but any touch option should be an improvement over the standard not-so-finger-friendly Windows Mobile interface.
