It all had what I need and more.

Aug 26, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Versatile, just the right size, No external antenna
Cons: Outside paint layer is easily defaced, Poor battery life.
Opinion:
I had a Treo 600 before and after experiencing multiple times it crashed, I switched to DOPOD C730. The new device was perfect. It all had what I need and more. My files for my presentation was ready all the time and I can review it anywhere I want, until...

After 5 months of using it, the battery performance deteriorated dramatically. Now, you can no longer experience its versatility because I am are afraid it will run out of juice. I have to bring another phone now just to give me peace of mind.

Where can I buy a new battery and is this a normal thing for the battery to die down on you only after 5 months of using it?

 

very good it got all I want

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

Jan 26, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Responsive, good keypad, good looks,SDHC compatible (max 4gb)
Cons: Ships w/Outlook 2007 TRIAL, POOR battery life, useless touch pad
Opinion:
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

 

Lousiest Phone repair service ever

Oct 18, 2007

Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: look
Cons: poor service, break down confirmed for all models
Opinion:
phone broke down after 2 months. cannot boot up. sent for repair, after 1 months' time, still pending for part arrival. lousy beyond imagination service. pls do not buy ever from HTC or Dopod. you have plenty to do without them, as having a standby phone, calling their lines for repair status. bla bla bla.
