ASUS adds a slider and flip

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jun 18th 2006 at 7:01PM

Personally, we have a softer spot in our hearts for ASUS' smartphone offerings, but they're doing their best to win us over on their, uh, less smart offerings with the J208 slider and M310 clamshell. The M310 offers the discerning consumer a scary, HAL-like camera lens sporting 2 megapixels of autofocus resolution, a QVGA internal display, and MicroSD slot in a music-oriented 90g chassis with external player controls. The more attractive of the pair, the J208 brings a 2.0 megapixel shooter (without the 2001 drama), 64MB of internal flash, a MicroSD slot, and a 220 x 176 display in a 17mm thick package; we would've liked to have seen QVGA, but we're not going to lose sleep over it since we're betting these tri-band GSM units are Asia-only.

i just want to know the user comments who really own and experience this phone, how about the quality of the sound? the quality of 2 megapixel camera? the video recording? the screen color depth? the quality of the photo and video? do it support fullscreen video player?
