Manufacturer: Dopod
Keyboards are of the past when you learn and adapt they are slow compared. Faster processor equal fast easting of battery. There is other chunky models with silly keyboards, Stylis much faster when trained.
The good: Size. bg wifi. Battery Life. Not Mobile Phone Solutions Support that o2 has
The bad: Slow Processor but battery lasts. Windows Vista sync program software issues Price.
The Dopod D810 is packed with a bevy of useful features including 3.5G HSDPA support, quadband GSM, and Wi-Fi, but suffers from some glaring shortcomings such as slow processing speeds and barely passable camera.
RRP: AU$1349.00

Why does no-one mention the fact that the D810 has a built in GPS receiver? It's there, it's just not activated with the standard firmware but easily upgradeable. I have done it and I am useless with this sort of thing. I then got TomTom and I can navigate anywhere I want! Fantastic. Agree it's a bit slow sometimes and I still HATE the input methods (windows problem, not Dopod's) and would much prefer one with a keyboard. But that's personal choice. Call quality is good, voice commander is a bit hit-and-miss.
The good: BUILT IN GPS!!! Has everything you could need in a PDA/phone
The bad: Speed, a little buggy/crashy (windows issues), black coating on bottom flakes off.
