The Asus Lamborghini ZX1 has an intriguing design inspired by the Lamborghini cars. It is a feature-packed hi-end device with worldwide coverage running on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional OS. It is a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE phone with support of tri-band UMTS/HSDPA (3.6 Mbps) connectivity.
ZX1 is geared by TI 2431 450 MHz processor, 128 MB of RAM and 256 MB ROM, expandable via microSD cards. The 2.8-inch QVGA phone has all the latest wireless connectivity including Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, USB 2.0 as well as a GPS receiver.
The other spec include a 3 mega pixel AF camera and a secondary videocall VGA camera. Housing a bunch of stuff like this usually takes a lot of space, but the medium sized ZM1 surely looks good.
The Asus Lamborghini ZX1 will surely silence your excitement with its price of around EUR 1000. The device is expected to hit the European market in May 2008.
The next Asus seen these days is the hi-end Asus M536 PocketPC with a hardware QWERTY keyboard. It also runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 OS, but except the stated 256 MB flash memory, there is no other information about its processor and ROM memory.
The tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE phone also supports tri-band UMTS/HSDPA (3.6 Mbps) connectivity. Its display is a tad smaller than the previous devices with its 2.4-inch square 320×320 pixels display. Other nice features in M536 are Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, a built-in GPS receiver and a fingerprint scanner.

A special attention deserves the 3D-like Asus Windows Mobile 6.1 UI. This hi-tech UI will be first seen implemented in the Asus Lamborghini ZX1 phone. The new user interface has a snappy performance with rich 3D effects and features reminding the Apple iPhone (read CoverFlow). Other interesting similarity is the TouchFLO-like cube UI, all of which can be seen in this video of the new Asus 3D interface demo.
This new user interface is surely a positive change for Windows Mobile and we like the route that all PocketPC manufacturers are taking by customizing the boring stylus-oriented graphical interface of the Microsoft OS. That would not only make the devices more thumbable and user-friendly but would also increase the manufacturers brand awareness among the users.
