i have used HTC viva and then switched to Asus P552w just because of GPS. The phone is definitely faster than HTC but HTC viva looks much cool than this one, htc is very very easy to use viva they have somthing like touch flo which is way lot better as compared to Asus, . the battery life if htc is lot better.
THE most impostant thing is Asus SUCKS on its wifi capability. i could move around my house with HTC but i have to be near or around my router to access wifi with this crap. They SHOULD NOT even write wifi on it.
If i was not directionaly challenged i wouldnt be using it because HTC with GPS is much expensive.

hey heli_hob, maybe your phone is damage, i got this phone last year n utill now the battery life is amazing, up to 2 days with normal uses. The wifi signal really good and never disconected while im using it

Heli_bob,
The mobile has a automatic settings which is disabling your signals
Kindly tune in wireless manager settings.
