Dopod 838 Review:Â Â
Pros:
- Strong build quality
- Slide-out keyboard offers good tactile feel
- Compact size
- High-quality shots from camera
- Competent phone functions (thanks to Windows Mobile 5.0).
Cons:
- A tad too thick
- Sluggish operation
- 2.5mm earphone jack
- No lens cover for camera
- No physical lock button
- Only miniSD expansion slot available.
The bottom line: Despite the new Windows Mobile 5.0 OS and integrated keyboard, the 838 is marred by its sluggish performance which leaves much to ask for. - by Cnet
