User Review for Dopod 838
Not as great as expected
Apr 12, 2008Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: Friendly QWERTY Keyboard
Cons: Bulky and thick, Poor Camera, Sluggish, Screen rotates by itself, MiniSD often undetected
Opinion:
I've had this phone for over 2 years and I can say I'm quite disappointed. First, it's too thick. Then the camera is so poor that when you put them into computer it looks awful. It only works best outdoor (though still poor compared to other handsets) but certainly not indoors. The phone is also very sluggish, making myself having to soft reset it over and over again (about once every 2 days). Sometimes it's also hard to answer calls or ignore them due to its sluggishness. MiniSD often rendered undetected, quite annoying for those who installed their programs in their miniSD (which most us do).
However, the keyboard is comfortable to use making it good to send e-mails and messages.
