ASUS M530w, a new Motorola Q/Blackberry look alike?One of the most popular smartphone shapes is the one with the display in wide screen orientation with QWERTY keyboard beneath it, or if you like, the Motorola Q and Blackberry winning design. ASUS now joins the wagon with the M530w smartphone with Windows Mobile 6 Standard.

ASUS M530w, a new Motorola Q/Blackberry look alike?Now that we talked about it’s shape let’s see what else it’s got.

Below are the specs, incomplete as we don’t know the CPU type.
