The good: Sleek design; user-friendly controls; commendable camera function; speedy operating system; relatively inexpensive; Bluetooth v2.

The bad: Outdated display; poor speaker; 2.5mm audio jack; mediocre multimedia performance.

The bottom line: If youÂ’ve always wanted the O2 Xda II mini but with Wi-Fi, the Dopod 818 Pro is a good bet with an updated operating system and reasonable price to boot.

Very stable, value for money.



Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Stable, easily found 3rd party software.
Cons: Soft ring tones
Opinion:
Have used this phone more than 2 years, so far only send for repair for once because of speaker breakdown. But that was used for about 1 1/2 years.

Very stable PDA, rarely hang. 3rd party software can be download evrywhere. Used this PDA for more than 3 year already, thats why I say it worth the money.



 

Very stable PDA phone; Poor customer service



Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Affordable price, good functions, rarely hangs
Cons: Poor customer service
Opinion:
It is overall a good PDA phone. Rarely hangs and the phone function is good. The ring tone is loud and clear.It fulfills all Basic PDA functions but its functionality can be improved by downloading and installing software.

 

Stable & Best Power



Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Long battery life, stable, clear calls both ends as a phone, very good built quality, SD slot.
Cons: No radio, No 3G, built in speaker weak.
Opinion:
If you want long battery life & stability, this pda is the BEST. With daily use as a pda (no calls), average mp3 playing, daily bluetooth sync to PC, battery can last from min. 5 to 10 days. Got 3 sets in my family & all are happy with the unit. There are plenty of buttons (8 in all), & almost all can be programmed with 3rd party software like SPB Pocket Plus. Got friends who are also using them still. One told me that it was even waterproof which I find hard to believe after I advised him not to leave it unprotected in the buggy & use it under the rain while golfing. He then told me that he had accidentally dropped it in the toilet bowl more then 1 1/2 yrs ago. He rinsed it, left it to dry for 2 days & has been using it every since then without any problem.
