CNET Asia Review
7.4
out of 10View score
The bad: Keyboard buttons a little too small; temperamental touch strip; no dedicated audio jack; no onboard flash and front-facing camera.
The bottom line: The Dopod C730 has big shoes to fill considering its predecessor's popularity and it attempts to do so with extra connectivity options (3G and HSDPA) and a new WM6 operating system. Still, the temperamental touch strip and the tiny keys don't quite do justice to the smart phone.

Apr 24, 2008Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: I like most is its qwerty keyboard, very interesting and easy to use.
Cons: maybe it is a little bit too bulky in size
Opinion:
A almost complete device that you can own and it is yet affordable
Great Phone EXCEPT for poor battery life

Pros: Responsive, good keypad, good looks,SDHC compatible (max 4gb)
Cons: Ships w/Outlook 2007 TRIAL, POOR battery life, useless touch pad

Dopod C730 is great in aesthetics and fast for a WM6 phone.
There is alot of talk about poor battery life which I initially thought was due to usage patterns UNTIL I experienced it 1st hand.....Just recycle the original batteries and load it with a 2000ma (USD$32 @ Infinity Batteries) and you got yrself a wonderful phone!!
Overall the only grouse about this phone is the battery life, barely lasts a day with a full charge......
Very very good, except battery life...so I bought a better battery problem solved

Pros: Great design, very decent camera(for a phone), so stable never crashes!
Cons: battery life is 1 day with the standard battery
Opinion:
The phone is great. Simply great.
Ok firstly the buttons r fine for me. I find them the perfect size to keep the device small but still very very usuable.
The touch strip is useless, so i set it to adjust the volume only when in media player and calls, so now its useful.
The battery is a pain. 1 day with just basic usage is pretty bad. But i bought an after market battery of ebay with 2000mAh double that of the battery its sold with and now i get 3 days use of out it. yes the battery has made the device thicker, with a new back panel, but its worth it for the extra battery life. And the extra size is manageble. the battery cost $30 including postage!!!
Ok service wise I havent sent it to service yet and i would avoid doing so cause i would ... Read more
