CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.1

View score

The good: Strong multimedia features; smooth video captures; onboard high-resolution digital camera; loud speaker; sharp LCD display; memory expansion slot.

The bad: Bulky design; unintuitive user interface; voice recordings slightly muffled; poor keypad design.

The bottom line: The DV1 makes a handy traveling companion, particularly for those into image/video recording and music playback. However, everyday mobile phone users may find it hard to compromise on the extra bulk and not-so-intuitive user interface.

* MP3 player not bad but can't do other things while listening, e.g. type SMSes, take pics, etc.
* Not as heavy as its 118g stats would suggest.
* Number typing pad not bad. Anyone who thinks it is small should see any number of other models available. The pointer keypad is a litte tight for me, though.
* Always gets ppl's attention!
"THREE megapixels???? You mean POINT three right?"
* SMS uses the ancient Motorola system used in the e365 but the ... Read more
