Dopod 838 Review:  
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
