    microSD Card Anonymous -- 10/07/07

    Most micro-sd these days come with an sd-card adaptor which allow you to use the card in both sd and micro sd devices.

The good:
  • Range of connectivity options including 3G and HSDPA
  • Slide-out QWERTY keypad
  • Scroll wheel
  • Support for Bluetooth stereo (A2DP)
The bad:
  • Chunky size
  • Heavy
  • microSD expansion slot
The bottomline:

An extremely well-equipped Pocket PC PDA-phone, Dopod has made sure that the 3G-enabled 838 Pro balances features with power so it doesn't leave you hanging when you need to access applications like Skype. Due to its size and weight, however, you'll need a bag if you're going to carry it around.
