But Samsung’s all new Samsung Replenish from Sprint changed our thinking and made us happy.

Asus P552w is a compact handheld at 102x60.5x14.5mm and as compared to the HTC Touch, the dimensions are a bit large. Comparing the two devices, I feel that the Asus product is a bit ahead in features. A much fairer comparison is the Touch 3G and as compared to that, the HTC product is lighter and narrower but all the other dimensions are same. It is not as small as the competitor’s device but is still quite light at weight of 105 grams and it is handy too. There won’t be any bulge in your handbags or pockets. The dimensions make it look pudgy and it won’t turn a lot of heads due to the looks. Just like HTC Touch, the screen of the Asus P552w is flush with the chassis. Due to this, it is much easier to execute the commands on display using finger taps and swipes. There is a big black border around the screen and I was wondering if the manufacturer  [...]
