CNET Asia Review

Very good

7

out of 10

View score

The good: Slide-out QWERTY keyboard; solid feel; wide range of connectivity options including A2DP; faster Intel processor compared with the 838 Pro.

The bad: Soft keys hinder typing; 2.5mm audio jack; no HSDPA; average battery life.

The bottom line: With a faster processor, the Xda Zinc has a slight performance edge over the Dopod 838 Pro but falls short by a slight margin in terms of aesthetics. Unless you're looking for a QWERTY handheld, there're more options out there.

Pros: Great qwerty, good connectivity
Cons: Start-up memory is not enought , phone button sometimes not respond !
Opinion:
Yeah, i've seen many many complaints regarding to the phone button of this model, this kind of problem seems to be a persistent even when you upgrade to WM6.
But pls upgrade ur fone to WM6, you will see the changes in the better ways ! Do it and see !
One thing i noticed from the time of using this is when the quality of the miniSD card is bad, you will face lots of problem which caused by this thing, change to another good one and solved. That's is my recommend.

 

BEFORE buying, PLEASE READ my most honest review

Pros: Great Speed, easy to use keyboard, responsive potrait & landscape orientation, Good inhouse O2 program
Cons: Buttons ARE NOT RESPONDING!!! plus plus plus.... ->
Opinion:
This phone is a nightmare. I thought its mine that is having this problem until I met several friends who shared the same experience as me. Read this->

The buttons esp the CRUCIAL ones, like the green call (or send) button, red button, etc are NOT responding!!!

I thought initially it is due to a hardware problem and hence I tested it by doing a hard reset. Then for a week or two, it worked perfectly fine. Then the problem came back and persisted again. Then I thought it maybe due to conflicting software that I may have and I again did another hard reset and this time tested the phone with no third party software, then the same sh*t happens yet again.

Imagine this, you press the green button to make a phone call and it doesn't work! And you have to press it for a few times and then it works. Its not that I ... Read more
