It seems as though Asus has come to CeBIT with an absolute mountain of new kit. We were really lucky to get a brief sneak peek at some of its new gear -- including its new phones. Asus doesn't have a long history in mobile phone manufacturing, but it's slowly becoming a big mover in the phone world. Recently, Asus secured a deal with O2 to provide it with branded handsets such as the O2 Jet and O2 Xda Graphite.

The first phone we saw on the Asus stand was the P526 (pictured), which runs on Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional edition and features 3G connectivity. Other features include a built-in GPS receiver and a 2-megapixel camera.

We had a quick play with the P526 and it feels comfortable to hold, but we couldn't turn it on because they hadn't connected the power on that section of the stand yet. Welcome to preview day at CeBIT.

It will be available in the UK later this year, and is likely to be picked up and re-branded by a UK network.
