ASUS P750 gets previewed, receives a rousing thumbs-up

Nedge2k over at Modaco has gotten his grubby mitts on an early release ASUS P750 and declares it a "Kaiser Killer." The P750 and the HTC TyTN II do compare very well on paper -- well at least what we know of the P750 -- and from all reports perform very well in the wild. Of course, the Kaiser Killer moniker stems from the I-can-do-it-all feature-set that this little guy has -- though the QWERTY vs. non-QWERTY will likely squabble about the true king 'til the end of time -- and the lovely form factor it is all shoehorned into. As a refresher the P750 packs GSM / GPRS / HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth, SiRFstarIII GPS, 3 megapixel camera, 520 MHz CPU in it's thin and light rubberized package. Sadly, the preview doesn't mention anything about HSDPA frequencies, and that's a potential deal-breaker for many on this side of the world. Expect more info as soon as we can get our hands on it.

Pdadb.net says the P750 has the tri-band HSPA but 17mm seems pretty thick to me...
