'Touch Music Wheel' - Now where have we seen that before? The chic ASUS J206 slider phone is a fun-filled device with a 1.3 megapixel camera, 60MB of internal memory plus microSD support. It can playback MP3, AAC, WAV and MPEG4 formats. This tri-band phone also has GPRS class 10 support and weighs in at 96.5g.

The J208 on the other hand is suddenly all business-like with a sleek black casing that is 17.2mm thin. It is also a tri-band mobile though it features GPRS class 12 support. The highlights of this phone include a 1.9-inch 176x220 pixel TFT LCD, 2 megapixel camera, supports Bluetooth, MIDP 2.0 and JSR 185. It also has 64MB memory and microSD support.
