On three: loud laughter over aiFon fanboys & girls. One Two, ...

Brief history of my hand. I got me the Garmin Asus M10 not even get ordered before less than a month and 48 hours later.

The Un-boxing made me quite surprised to be honest. So far I have not had a cell phone, smartphone, respectively, which has so ascended many accessories, such as the M10.

| Accessories: |
(++) Car kit -> Windshield suction cup with intelligent functioning, Kugelgelenkarm and Phone holder; The latter has a microUSB port, which can be connected via the supplied cable with the cigarette lighter and supplies the M10 along with power
(++) Plug adapter, with safety cap is enclosed, which via the supplied USB cable to the phone, as well as plugged into the power outlet ---> really useful because this constant clutter on time may annoy really
(++) Very easy to understand operating manual and CD with sync program; synchronization works really excellent and provides a simple and nice looking surface

Interim conclusion: intelligent and above all practical accessories

| Application: |
(++) Lightweight aluminum frame decorated the front page and brings enormous stability
(++) 3.5 inch WVGA TFT display with true color full resolution of 800x480 pixels; compared to the display of the HTC HD2 images look a lot sharper and more defined; High Quality YouTube videos can be really great watch
(+) The display is indeed a resistive touchscreen, which of course must be operated by pressure, but this is for all the mobile editing programs such as Paint, notes, Microsoft Word, etc. makes sense, because you can not operate with simple pins kapazititve Touchscreens
(++) Back is rubberized discreetly and provides an extremely stable impression; Camera and boxes cover looks approximately 0.5mm-1mm out, but does not affect the steady chairs of mobile phones on the back
(+) It has the far right only a rocker for volume adjustment and top left an on / off / standby button and Keylock, but no other physical buttons are available;
(+) Call answer, call reject and call in the Windows menu to work on the three touch sensitive buttons at the bottom of the display
(++) Stylus attached to the right side in the housing
(++) MicroUSB slot on the left outside
(+ -) MicroSD card is replaceable, if the battery is removed
(++) If reverse is not reasonable and is stuck closed, the phone bleats at the start (contact in the cap incorporated)
(++) Has the top right next to the on / off a 3.5mm slot for any headsets

Interim conclusion: very high-quality finish, scratch-resistant both the display and the rubber backing

| Software (WinMobile): |
(++) Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professionel makes a thoughtful impression with GarminAsus compatibility with individual programs calm could refine
(++) Task Manager is actually very successful and is the one on the link reachable, and over the two-second holding down the Windows key on the bottom of the display
(++) Opera Mobile 10 works really excellent; innately Although the Microsoft Internet Explorer is installed, but it makes a completely immature impression - I could not cope with it
(++) There are two different music player; to a Windows Media Player and the other the "Music Player", both work developed by GarminAsus me properly - only a sound equalizer lacking [-]
(++) A program called "Weather" shows one with a really nice surface weather the current week; only works over Internet (Eplus or blau.de tariff ---> 2 cents per query via HSDPA and WAP)
(++) The fall integrated PDF Reader from Adobe works great, only the small icons for zooming and page breaks are too tiny
(++) Office package works fine, although Word does not represent images, text, however, can work very well
(++) Wireless Manager for easy on / off of various connection options (WiFi, GPRS, TELEPHONE, flight mode, Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi Direct Push & sharing)
(++) Navigation on the GarminNavigationslösung work outstanding, as we know from Garmin; are both the navigation for the car, as well as for pedestrians (I personally use very often); Satellite can be quickly and easily find, only the reception in homes is only limited or not possible, but you also do not need the function at home; it can be saved favorites to which you can let yourself be lead by the current position (works fine); There is also some POIs that the place entered are closest (restaurants, recreation, leisure, accommodation, attractions, etc.)
(-) Windows Marketplace is actually a joke; many expensive and totally useless apps and generally far too little apps, hardly comparable to that of Android
(++) In OMarket (App can be found online easily find), many developers very useful and free apps that work mostly excellent (Ex .: XBOX 360 Live Gamertag - brings a vivid status of your gamertags to your mobile phone, or the "Data Controller": this offers the possibility of GPRS and WAP so off that it no longer connects automatically (very useful !!!), but there are also programs like Paint software or Wuvuzela (the latter is a pesky tool to people to drive mad)), it can also install features such as the SlideBar the iPhone or iPod imitate to remove the lock screen
(++) An unzipping program is also standard
(++) Battery power is indicated in 10% increments

Interim conclusion: a balanced software package

| Battery Performance: |
(++) The battery is in constant use by all connection options simultaneously empty already after 16 hours, ie WLAN, GPS, PHONE, BLUETOOTH + music and surfing; at moderate and varied use, ie music + internet and possibly even the two-hour use of GPS up to 3 days - important is that you turn off the display when the phone is not in use, or if you just listen to music

| Photos and videos: |
(-) There is not much to say; 5 MP are not much, but also not too little - for the occasional snapshot, it will do just fine, however, since it does not have autofocus the images are not particularly sharp; the video function on the other hand brings actually quite good results
(+) For easy geo-tagging, it is sufficient

| Music / video playback: |
(++) Despite the lack of equalizer sound music through headset pretty good at
(++) Volume is perfect for me, maximum setting is rather noisy
(+ -) While the speaker system does not provide Dolby Surround Sound, still has a good sound quality, as long as one does not use the loudest setting
(++) 480p videos can be wonderful to play, the sound is a bit dull, but it's fun in the free minutes a couple of videos to watch (in video conversion MPG4 iPhone3G settings use, brings the best results)

| Missing functions: |
(-) Of limited usefulness I really miss the M10, except possibly an FM radio; that should be standard nowadays but already

A really great smartphone with ability to compete with all the aiFons, HTC, etc.
It might not keep up with the new Windows Phone 7 devices, although it costs only half as much, or even only a third of what the other costs. In addition, I believe anyway, that Windows Phone 7 still takes a while until it has the desired stability and functionality. Until then, I am wise with my M10.

For all fix their priorities precisely where I do it, I can pronounce an absolute buy recommendation and hope that I can help one or the other in their purchasing decision.

Yours sincerely

Additional Information

~~~ For battery status display I must revise: the condition is displayed in 5% increments, which unfortunately I could find a few days later.

~~~ Go headset might be more helpful to know that you can control the music via the button on the headset, so off both can turn.
The unique pressures on the music (screen lock must to be removed; be open Music Player).
(Be Displayersperre ||| ||| MUST NOT flies) The renewed pressures on the music
The two-time pressing changes to the next song in the playlist. (It may happen that now and not enough pressure is applied, which can cause the music playback is interrupted. In this case, simply switch off the lock screen by the button at the top of the smartphone, the button on the headset, press the replay and the Lock screen by pressing the button switch on the smartphone.
Perhaps it should also be said that it has a small detachable clamp that provides sufficient support to make the headset into a jacket / shirt collar firmly.

~~~ As the M10 is quite a while in the sale, there are of course already firmware updates for bug fixes and design changes. These updates you get on the official site of the manufacturer. Personally, I also think that it is quite simple and fast, up to play the new firmware. A manual is also found. I recommend to update the software before integrating the device into the normal everyday use, since the data has already been created have to be retrieved via a recovery file otherwise. (Although it's easy, but I can not find my file.)
