The ASUS M530w has the QWERTY keyboard located below the 2.4 inch screen. Between the display and the QWERTY keyboard the ASUS M530w has in a clear and distinct layout the answer and end call keys, the Windows Mobile keys and a five-way select/action key in the middle. The keys are large enough which makes it easy to use. On the QWERTY keyboard the buttons are laid out in such a way that there is enough space between them (to avoid pressing two buttons at the same time) and the number pad is clearly distinguished. There is also a thumbwheel for quick scrolling on the left of the device. The thumbwheel is very useful on Smartphone’s and Pocket PCs since it can allow you to use your phone using only one hand. The thumbwheel on the ASUS M530w unlike some other devices is located on the left hand side.
For business users these cosmetic concerns may seem extravagant. After all, we are talking about Windows Mobile whose functionality outweighs its yawn-worthy aesthetic. There’s support for all popular e-mail protocols, Windows Live messaging and Internet Explorer, and the M530w is able to view MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents, as well as PDFs, but not edit them.
Other features on the Asus M530w are a 2-megapixel camera with LED flashlight, Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) and Bluetooth connectivity. The device is powered by a 416MHz processor with 256MB of built-in flash memory and 64MB SDRAM.
