The phone division of Asus is more and more present on the handset market and they usually deliver great products. It is the case of the new J501 too, which brings a lot of features in this stylish new device.

If the design of the phone doesn’t impresses you there are still enough reasons for thinking of buying the J501 mobile phone. First of all there is a 2.0 MP digital camera with autofocus function to take beautiful pictures and after view them on the pretty large 2.2″ 260k colors LCD display. As in all new mobile phones the MP3 playback is included along with an FM radio tuner and video playback support for MPEG4 files. It is obvious the 5 MB of memory doesn’t support the multimedia aspirations behind the J501, but Asus introduced an expansion slot for MicroSd cards so users can upgrade the storage capcity for up to 2 GB.

To increase the functionality of the device Asus offers USB and Bluetooth connectivity, and while connected trough the USB port the J501 can be used as a webcam as well. As an extra function, users also have the possibility of making phone calls trough Skype while connected to a computer via Bluetooth, although a WiFi 802.11 would have done better at making this a true Skype phone.
