New Dopod slider spotted in China

John Chan | Sep 27, 2007

China-based tech site IT168.com has the deets on the new Dopod C750. This is apparently a rebadged HTC product and is a Windows Mobile 6 Standard smart phone.

While not supported by the accompanying images, the Chinese-language site reports that Dopod is readying a version of the C750 with a VGA display. This will be available in November in China. The slide-out keypad found on the C750 has a layout similar to the BlackBerry Pearl's SureType keyboard. This QWERTY arrangement puts two letters on one key, thereby halving the number of buttons needed to include the whole English alphabet.

HTC has taken over most of Dopod's operations in Asia. The brand still exists in China and the Taiwanese manufacturer's products like the Touch bear the Dopod brand there.
