Dopod 838 Smartphone

Pros: Ease of use! Nice big screen, the ability to add whatever size storage you need.
Cons: Battery life could be improved, but then again it is packed with lots of features.

Having been a Nokia fan since mobile phones became a necessity, it was time to find something with a little more to offer. After doing my homework I settled on the Dopod 838 pro for me next mobile phone. I was looking for a little more than what was ...

Pros: The size is perfect for PDA, good screen clarity, nice keyboard layout, easy typing
Cons: Too thick. No advance PIM sotware installed. Camera resolution too low. GPS software is unusable

This is my 6th GSM phone I have ever used. The size is perfect to put the phone on hand, bright screen, good signal reception, and perfect for writing lots of SMSs. The keyboard design is helpful. With the built in WiFi helps us connected to the internet easily for email and web browsing. The battery life is also good. It gets approximately 6~8 hours until I need it recharged back home from the office. A little problem I found, the keyboard sometimes hung. I have to reset the unit to get the keyboard functional. Skype users may love this device, fully functional for skypers. Built-in Office software makes it easier to transfer data between the unit and the base computer. It will be better if a PIM software is installed, as the built-in calendar just functional for simple reminder/note taking/scheduling only. When carrying this phone on my belt, it fits nicely with horizontal position.
