CNET Asia Review

Excellent

8.2

out of 10

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
