Full Connectivity Swathed in a Chic, Stylish Design

Catering to discerning users who require a mobile office that is full on connectivity and features, and still exudes a classy and stylish appeal, ASUS, producer of top-notch handhelds, has released the new M930 smart phone. With a full QWERTY keyboard and an ultra-wide screen, the M930 offers easy and efficient usage and adds impressive productivity to already impeccable looks derived from a chic design of sleek metal and mirror reflective surfaces. Rich business features via the integrated Windows Mobile 6 operating system and full 3.5G connectivity further complement this immaculately designed smart phone – making it fully equipped to handle business on-the-go.

Tasteful Design That Reveals a Touch of Class

The M930’s stylish design is manifested in elegant screens with mirror reflective surfaces and sleek metal keys and lines. One key design feature is the ergonomic free-stop flipping hinge – allowing effortless adjustments to any angle and position that users prefer. With a compact body and slim side profile, the M930 showcases a multimedia center while open, and a cellular when closed – exuding style in either role.

Ultra-wide Screen for Enhanced Video Telephony

The M930 is able to provide dramatically improved viewing with an extended WQVGA landscape display and makes day-to-day content browsing, reading and writing documents and viewing messages that much easier on the eye. With this ultra-wide screen and the embedded webcam, users will be able to enjoy superior Video Telephony experiences with a wider, clearer and more detailed view.

Full QWERTY Keyboard for Intuitive Input

The M930 offers two fast and intuitive input options for the businessman on-the-go: via the numeric keypad when closed and the full QWERTY keyboard when open. Arranged in a neat, narrow design, the M930’s QWERTY keyboard places every character is in its rightful place, and offers intuitive input that’s fast, easy and as natural as using regular keyboards; while its counterpart – the numeric keypad, provides one-handed convenience.

Enjoy High Speed Transfers of Large Files with Full 3.5G Connectivity

With support for GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi and USB 2.0, users will be fully connected. Faster downloads of big files like videos and MP3s are ensured with 3.5G high speed data transfers. What’s more, even in areas without Wi-Fi coverage, users can convert the M930 into a 3.5G modem with its one-step Quick Modem Setting and easily connect to the Internet; while the plug and play auto network configuration allows users to simply plug in a SIM card and have complete Internet setting done automatically.

Enjoy More with Windows Mobile 6

The M930 is integrated with the Windows Mobile 6 Standard operating system for a multitude of functions to keep the user updated on-the-go. With ActiveSync, easy transfers of data from the smart phone to a server can be established, while access to MSN and the new personal Windows Live Spaces can keep users in touch with their friends and clients virtually anytime, anywhere. The full QWERTY keyboard makes it a more familiar environment to type – allowing users to input messages faster and easier.

About the launch of this new smart phone, Mr. Edward Wang – Business Head, Mobile Communication Business, ASUS (India) said, “The M930 is ASUS’ first communicator smart phone which is surprisingly compact when compared to other communicators in the market. Earlier, business professionals needed to carry bulky communicators for executive functions but now they have a better option in the form of the ASUS M930. The keyboard layout of the M930 is just like a laptop facilitating quicker and more convenient operation. It is also the only communicator with a web cam which we call ‘iCAM’ because you can type SMS, listen to music, write e-mails etc. while using the iCAM. Business professionals can also use the iCAM to have a video conference. ASUS has always believed in thinking from the customer’s point of view and this phone personifies that ideology, leading to the creation of the best smart phone for all end users.”
