The Dopod D810 packs all the features a mobile warrior could wish for a full keyboard. Nonetheless, the D810 has a lot to write home about as it comes multiple connection methods to stay online.
I was able to get my hands on the more fashionable pearly white model that resembles a bar of soap. For a more fashion oriented review of the D810, you can hop over to The Gadgenista.
I believe that Dopod has been rebranded into HTC, which was really the original OEM for this line. I don’t know exactly why this happened but the new HTC brand seems to be more powerful with the fish like logo.
The Quad band D810 comes with built in WiFi and HSDPA as well as Bluetooth connectivity. There are two cameras for your standard video calls via HSDPA / 3G with the main camera sporting 2 megapixels. It is quite rare for a Windows Mobile device to come with a very decent camera as more often than not, the pictures tend to be grainy despite the marketing claims of high quality and high megapixel count. You can check out photo samples from The Gadgenista.
According to CNET, the D810 also comes with a built in GPS chip that needs to be activated through a firmware update:
A GPS chip can be found in the D810 for navigation. Originally, when the device was first announced, the GPS feature was disabled. A later firmware upgrade then activated this feature, and all that is required is the GPS software. We tested the unit using MapKing and found that navigation was good. It generally took less than 30 seconds to get a GPS lock, and from there, the D810 did well to pinpoint location and traveling speed when navigating in a moving vehicle. Do note that no software or maps are included with the device, so factor the extra cost in if that is important for you. [CNET source]
The D810 comes with 128MB of flash ROM and a miniSD expansion slot where you can store files. If you want to store music, the device reads WMA and MP3.
