Aimed at users who need ‘mobile office’, Asus, a leading brand in handhelds and laptops, has released the stylish new ‘chic’ M930 smartphone in Mumbai, India.

The clamshell smartphone comes equipped with a QWERTY keyboard for intuitive input, an ultra-wide WQVGA screen that also facilitates landscape display that goes easy on eyes. It provides support to GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi and USB 2.0.

M930 is a smartphone powered by Windows Mobile 6 Standard operating system, also featuring ActiveSync, MSN and the new Windows Live Spaces.

The highlight of the M930 is that the feature-packed phone comes with elegant and stylish ‘mirror reflective surfaces and sleek metal keys and lines’ unlike the bulky handhelds.

“The M930 is ASUS’ first communicator smart phone which is surprisingly compact when compared to other communicators in the market.

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.
