The new Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 was recently released in Taiwan on a local carrier Chunghwa.

The phone features HSDPA, a VGA display, 3Mpix camera, and comprehensive navigation capabilities, which is nice, but seeing that the carrier will also be launching the iPhone 3GS and Hero this week, the competition will be mighty tough for M20 to get profitable.

We though that the ASUS’ P565 smartphone was canned a while ago, but apparently it wasn't... According to a Polish site ASUSPDA, the handset has been on sale for several months now, and they even have some unboxing pictures of it. The price is $566 (without subsidies, of course).

Wow, the P565 has literally rose from the grave. :)

Asus P835 is a new touchscreen device powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 which can be used as a Wi-Fi access point for up to 10 devices. Nice, now everyone will be able to use your phone's internet connection, if you let them, that is. In rest it's a pretty feature-packed smartphone. Here's what it offers:

• Quad-band GSM/EDGE;
• Tri-band UMTS;
• 3.5" 800 x 480 touchscreen display;
• 5Mpix camera;
• Wi-Fi;
• GPS;
• Windows Mobile 6.

Garmin Asus partnership is appearently starting to afford, as they've announced the upcoming release of the Nuvifone G60. The device will be released in the first half of 2009, though no carrier, availability or pricing details were provided.

Features include:

• 3.5" touchscreen display;
• HSDPA/3G connectivity;
• Bluetoo

We have some more news about the upcoming Asus Eee Phone. Apparently, with it you'll be able to control a home full of Asus products, including their Eee PCs. The phone will probably be powered by Google’s Android.

Hopefully, it will reach the same popularity as its netbook counterpart.

If you need a good alternative for the iPhone 3G or HTC Touch HD, the new Asus P835 Galaxy 7 will do just right. It is almost similar in size to the HTC’s MAX 4G or the iPhone, and has an excellent build-quality, and the leather on the phone gives it a nice feel.

The P835 is expected to be released in late Q1 or early Q2 2009, and will have the following features:

According to reports, next year Asustek (Asus) is planning to launch its first Android-based smartphone. They will announce it sometimes in the first half of 2009, and the first market on the list to get the phone is Taiwan. Well see...

Asus has launched its new P522w PDA phone with Glide UI. While the phone surely isn't a competitor to the iPhone with its multi-touch interface, it should be a good alternative for those who don't have enough funds to get an HTC TouchFLO device.
