Dopod D810

Performance

	Notice the paint gone from the side of the stylus slot.

A Task Manager option in the settings page of the Dopod gives the option of closing applications whenever the X button is tapped. Usually, tapping the X button on the top right corner of applications just minimizes them to the background, and closing them will require navigating through a few menu levels in the settings page. This nifty program makes forgetting to close applications a thing of the past, freeing up precious processing bandwidth and making the device feel more responsive in general.

We had no problems with the phone reception for both voice and video calls. The speakers at the rear gave audible sound for speakerphone use and video calls, but as mentioned earlier, we would have preferred front-firing speakers for better clarity.

The video quality for video calls was also acceptable, with the other party able to see us clearly. The rear camera is good for quick snapshots, but don't expect the quality you'll get from a dedicated camera. The common problem of image noise when shooting in dim locations is clearly present with the D810's camera and, when transferred to a computer, photos weren't as sharp as we'd have liked.

The rated talktime battery life for the D810 is 5 hours for GSM and 4 hours for WCDMA. We got about two days of use on one full charge with some Wi-Fi use and about 1 hour of GPS navigation.
