Dopod 900 Review

Dopod 900 Review (Expert)

Having said all that, sometimes all it takes is a figure to put off many prospective buyers. With a price tag like this, you can afford a full laptop with that kind of money. Ultimately, what you're paying for is a top-of-the-line, all-in-one device, a venerable beast of a machine in the PDA-phone world. If you can live with its size, the telephony issues and (of course) the hefty cost, the Dopod 900 could be your ticket to handheld nirvana.

The Dopod 900 is a very good device but far from perfection. There are too many issues and unnecessary economising. Another question is who are the target customers. Given the price, which will be high or very high, it is not masses of common users. On the contrary, it looks aimed at mobile professionals and users who like showing off and can afford an exclusive device. I believe that the appearance of the Universal may cause much agitation at a top management meting of a technically oriented company. Anyhow, likely buyers are only those who require an all-in-one solution at the expense of size and weight. A fundamental question is whether a combination of a VGA Pocket PC, BT foldable keyboard and a mobile phone with EDGE would render the same services in better quality. The price would be comparable as well as the total size and weight but the utility might be higher. Another point is the UMTS, which is not available everywhere. It is only up to you to decide whether to buy the device or not. In my opinion, despite the attractiveness of the Dopod 900, the time is not ripe for it, considered the absence of 3G networks in our geography. But who know, our mobile operators may be planning a surprise for Christmas and buying a 3G-enabled device will get high on the agenda.

I have the O2 XDA Exec [not yet in the phone list]--same form factor and hardware with the dopod 900 here are some excerpts from my review:--QUOTEConclusion:A gorgeous VGA resolution screen, a plethora of Wireless capabilities, a robust processor, a full QWERTY keyboard, and a refreshing form factor all help to make this powerful PDA Phone Combo the 'King of the Hill' [for now that is]. HTC has a definite winner here. This device is perfect for the Mobile Warrior who's serious about his/her devices.Pros: VGA Screen, Full QWERTY, GSM/GPRS/UMTS, WiFi, Bluetooth, IRCons: Heavy, Huge, Expensive--Full review and images here:Executive Report [Thoughts on the O2 XDA Exec]--[O2 XDA Exec]
