Dopod 838

Dopod 838 Review


Touted as one of the two products, the new IPAQ Pocket Player is a 838 (aka HTC wizard) is one of the new PDA phone released with Windows Mobile 5.0. May be intended as a version of the repair XDA II Mini, the 838 on the key elements including the qwerty keyboard that slides from the bottom of the screen on the board with Wi-Fi connection, and miniSD expansion slot. Version of the same with the PDA-phone called XDA Mini Pro, announced two weeks ago from the O2, Dopod, but seems to be buoyant with the availability of the product before.

Design
The appearance of the wise, that 838 is aesthetically comfortable enough for the phone-PDA. Sports is still, durable plastic casing looks gray and Sony Ericsson P910i Smartphone to some knowledgeable. As some camera-phone on the market today, in the back of the 838 is designed in such a way that mimics the camera form factor, the trigger button with the index finger directly stored in the horizontal.

I have a clear effort to keep the creator Dopod 838 in a compact form factor for the XDA II Mini, the 838 is still a bit greater than the mini. He also looks stronger, most likely caused by the addition of the keyboard parts. This means that the Dopod is very useful compared to other PDA-phone on the market.

As with most mobile phones, the struggle for real estate space means that there is a sacrifice that must be done. For example, the factory decided to make a small 2.5 mm audio jack, which is not in accordance with the standard tools. Availability of a miniSD slot, not the standard SD card, which means it also supports all the SD memory card is still unusable. Not a pen, which can be used to some pain.

Fortunately out to a keyboard shortcut, and a room and make sure that is not necessary to take the stylus for the most common functions. Its 2.8-inch QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) display to serve the victims even though there is no spectacular goal.

For no, actually there are three variants of the HTC Wizard. Differentiate from competitors, Dopod WIZA100 selected the design that has a keyboard with keys larger and larger, in contrast with the HTC Wizards offers other vendors such as HTC and T-Mobile. In general, the keyboard offers a tactile feel good and friendly people with big fingers short and fat. To allow users to write in the dark, that the symbol is highlighted in red, while the text features illuminated with white background.

In addition to regular key basis, Dopod 838 is also equipped with the software that is useful, similar to that found on Nokia phones, which can be used for general operations, such as a phone without SMS reading taken stylus. Unfortunately, the key is too small and have access.

For those who have access to the wireless network, is a useful connection button in the upper left that allows users to immediately control the situation by using the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ActiveSync and the volume of trade. Voice call button on the right will activate the voice application, which is in unity with the gadget.
