I can't imagine this was the one WM was talking about going sideways then back on track IMO. I would think the one that got away for a while was a bit bigger, ok a whole lot bigger, than this one. I know we don't want to read about warnings on this board but here is one from mshere's post:
iSuppli's Teng describes the phone as "pretty decent," but warns that ASUS' distribution channels will likely limit sales. The company is relying on online retailers such as Amazon and TigerDirect to sell an unlocked version, meaning owners can activate it on the cellular network of their choice. In the U.S., however, the P527's basic technology--GSM--restricts it to either AT&T (nyse: T - news - people ) or T-Mobile service networks.
