Dopod C500 to arrive in May

We first reported on the HTC Vox in our top 5 picks from 3GSM '07. This same smart phone will be branded the Dopod C500 in this region and come with Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard. This means the OS won't support touchscreen input, so it'll just have a regular 2.4-inch display. The good news is it has two input options--a numeric keypad under the display in portrait mode and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard when using the phone in landscape orientation. It also comes with Wi-Fi, though the lack of 3G is slightly disappointing.

The C500 will be available in Singapore and Malaysia from May. Pricing information is still unavailable. Read more here
