Asus recently unveiled its latest 3G-ready smartphone, the M530W model. Expected to hit the store in July, the handset offers 3G video telephony with its dual camera (2MP and VGA cam) as well as broadband internet access with up to 384kbs download speed rate. You can also utilize its built-in 802.11b/g wireless support to connect to available WiFI hotspot and enjoy downloading content from world wide web wirelessly. Obviously, you don’t have to worry about sending or receiving email as long as these two connectivities exist. Moreover, you can use the handset as a Bluetooth modem for your laptop if necessary.

Asus M530W smartphone’s camera module can be used to scan business card and transfer the data directly onto contact books. Nice isn’t it? The provided QWERTY keyboard is also convenient enough to type text message (at least for me) and the built-in ClearVue apps can read various document types, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF. Other features include a Windows Mobile 6 Standard operating system, a 2.4-inch display, and media player.
