ASUSTeK Computer Inc may not be in the same league as a Nokia or a Samsung but they are trying! The company has just unveiled its new mobile handset which apart from an impressive 2MP camera with a CCD sensor also has an ergonomically designed body. The M310 is a smart flip phone which I am sure will go down well with both the professionals and the casual users. The camera also has an auto-focus feature which promises to make photography more fun and gives it’s an edge over other camera phones.

The M310 is tailor-made for businessmen and professionals and apart from a smart no frills design they have also incorporated some great business features and applications. Some of these include, 1,000-item day planner for synchronization with PC's Outlook, a monthly or daily view of calendar, 1,000 phone numbers, 9 speed dials, 10 voice commands and 10 voice dials. But that doesn’t mean that it’s just a serious phone , the 2MP camera, the video camcorder and the onboard MP3 will provide relief from all the business related functions.

The M310 sports a vibrant 2.2-inch, 320 x 240-resolution LCD and is able to record and support 3GP videos which can be captured at 15 frames/sec. It has a color external screen too which will alert users of incoming calls and messages. ASUS haven’t revealed anymore details about the MP3 player and the onboard memory. But we are guessing that there would be an option for expanding the memory since no self respecting phone is today’s time would skip a memory card slot. No word on pricing or availability but we will keep you posted on this elegant sliver and white phone. For more info please visit the Press Page

Not content with their position in motherboards and computer peripherals, ASUS is also making a presence felt in the world of cell phones. Of course, naming your new phone "the Goose" is not exactly going to garner you too much attention.

But that's okay as long as the phone has a decent set of features. Apart from being a slim, clamshell phone, the Goose comes with extra-large buttons (that's what I'm talkin') and a 2.0 megapixel camera for photos and videos. With an integrated 64 megs of memory, the phone has a microSD slot for expanding that memory. Other multimedia features include an MP3 player and FM radio.

The Goose has PictBridge support, allowing for PC-free printing of phone images using a compatible printer, which is a nice addition. It also has Bluetooth capability, but it's not clear what profiles are supported. Voice recognition and webcam support (you know, where you can use the camera as a webcam for your computer) and flight mode support complete the feature list.

Details should be available on ASUS soon.

Ladies check out this phone at Phoneyworld.com you will love it, it is themed after the movie Bewitched, unfortunately I think it is only being distributed in Taiwan.

I don't think anyone in the US is making Movie themed phones, someone should, because I think that these types of cell phones would be really popular in the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Australia and the World. Someone should tell Fox Studios to start making these now, I want one and I'm sure many others would want one to.

Acer have caught onto theme based products, just take a look at the hugely popular Acer Ferrari 4000 Laptop, it is a really cool Ferrari themed product.
