CNET Asia Review

The good: Range of connectivity options including 3G and HSDPA; slide-out QWERTY keypad; scroll wheel; support for Bluetooth stereo (A2DP).

The bad: Chunky size; heavy; microSD expansion slot.

The bottom line: An extremely well-equipped Pocket PC PDA-phone, Dopod has made sure that the 3G-enabled 838 Pro balances features with power so it doesn't leave you hanging when you need to access applications like Skype. Due to its size and weight, however, you'll need a bag if you're going to carry it around.

Best of the PDA Phone

Dec 21, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Worth for the Price
Cons: My Copy Cant upgrade to WM6
Opinion:
I Guess WiFi at the top of 2Mpx Camera,bluetooth and mobile windows(Feel Home) system is the strong point why i bought this pda-phone, Camera at 2Mpx is not bad altho i mostly use D-SLR. Alternatives between qwerty kbd and on-screen kbd is awesome for taking notes although you can use the pen. Configurable Shortcut Buttons is good altho i have to change the assignment of one button i mostly use was stuck sometimes.
Familiarity on windows environment makes this phone easier to use - I higly recommend this pdaphone

Best so far of 3.5G WM5 PDA - fast, reliable, perfect mix of biz & pleasure

Dec 17, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Fast processor, keyboard works!, great battery, just one gadget I need for everything
Cons: No mini jack (for my Bose headphones)
Opinion:
Well rounded, all-in-one PDA, the real deal for mobile person
Fast processor and enough memory to run multiple WM5 apps
3.5G - can be used as wireless modem if no hotspots available
The keyboard is really works for big-size tumbs.
Battery can hold until 1-2 days - great for a large screen PDA

Wish I can plug my Bose into this Dopod ...
