Asus M930 is positioned as the Nokia E90 killer. And it does a good job of it. The exterior has a traditional QVGA display and numeric keypad. There’s a 2 megapixel autofocus cam around back, and the usual microSD expansion, WiFi, and Bluetooth. However it runs Windows Mobile 6 Standard — not Professional — so there is no hope of touching the display with a stylus.

At 113 x 54 x 18.7mm and 158g make it wider, taller, thicker and heavier than most comparable phones. There is of course a reason for the M930’s extra bulk - a keyboard. But instead of a sliding to open, the M930 sports a hinged mechanism.

The full qwerty keyboard underneath is impressively spacious and even a dedicated number key row running along the top. Above it, set into the underside of the lid is an extra screen, slightly larger than the one on the front at 2.6in, and a slightly higher resolution of 400 x 240. It looks fantastic and in use it works just as well. The keys are responsive and the fact that the edge of the screen doesn’t encroach on the top of the keyboard means it feels far less cramped in use
