HTC Dopod 838 mini review


Was talking to Carlo from The Unwired and he dropped by my office toting the new online OEM favorite, the HTC Dopod 838. He posted a mini-review which I would like to link you guys over to.


Performance-wise, the Dopod 838 can get along pretty well if you don’t forget to manage your memory well. Yes, it runs on an OMAP 850 processor which may seem a little underpowered at 195MHz. But upon startup or initialization things seems to settle well and the speed isn’t at all that bad. I’m so far happy with the battery life I’m getting which seems to get me about 2 days of usability even with BT on. The 1250mAh Li-ion battery seems to hold up well and with Wi-Fi on, a day’s work should be an easy chore for the 838.

The sliding keypad is slowly becoming a thing of the present and yes, it is indeed lovely. While Carlo was doing a short demo, he received an incoming phone call which perforated the air with a really really fricken loud speaker. It’s deafening.
