Got this phone DOPOD 838 Pro and have used it for 2 weeks now. My roomie on the other hand, chose the P990i.

Here are our comparisons:

a) DOPOD wins in keypad. Duh...

b) P990i camera much better than DOPOD even though both are 2MP but i think the image software and lens sizes make a difference.

c) Battery life - DOPOD Wins.

d) Weight - P990i wins.

e) Symbian vs MS Mobile - I think Symbian is still far more stable and more 3rd party software. So we both think P990i wins.

f) Build quality - DOPOD wins FOR SURE. No flimsy flip.

g) Rolling wheel - We both feel the P990i's rolling wheel quality is slightly better here. it is sensitive enough but feels more sturdy.

h) Wifi - DOPOD speed slightly faster. My web pages loaded faster than his. Not by much but still, speed wins.

i) In a street fight - DOPOD wins. You can use it to pound away at your foe.Then take photos after you are done. The P990i would probably have the flip broken off...ha ha.

j) As a mobile phone - P990i wins. It is quite a pain, i must admit to use simple phone call functions on the MS Window mobile unit. On average, you need to trigger 2 -3 actions before you can make a simple call.

All in all, for US$60 more, i think the dopod is more value for money. My roomie thinks the same too but he is happy with the P990i cause he beats me to it when calling the girls.

      Looking at the Dopod 838Pro but I live in Australia and there appears to be a hold up on delivery. Just got told the new devlivery date of mid Nov, from the original early Oct. Major bummer as I have already ordered the Dopod (but can cancel). Need some advice on a couple of things. First the camera, the Dopod gets great reviews but there seems to be some dodgy comments about the JasJams camera. Are they the same!?
      Second, the Dopod advertises 11g but the JasJam says 11b/g with reviews saying the JasJams real speed is 11b!? Is this the same for both or does the Dopod have real 11g?
      Thanks and by the way the JasJam is available in Australia. Good to see we are not totally left behind.

        identical specs dont mean the phone is made EXACTLY the same. A different shell/encasing could have been used or the material used for the shell. Either way, I hope to upgrade from my MDA when I have enough money.

          dear hassan, the weight difference is due to the fact that 02 and i-mate removed the self destruct mechanism ;-)

              O2, I-mate both have the same phone, theirs weigh in @ 160 grams, how come HTC's wieghs in @ 176 grams? I've compared all their specs, th all seem identical, so how can one account for the mass difference? This is really mind bogling.

                    Can I use a 1500mAH battery instead of the 1350 that comes w/ the phone. I ordered what I thought was the 1350 and received the 1500 battery.

                          To KC: you pay only what you talk and when you are in the internet and depends on your operator's price list.

                                  All above is fine, BUT: I cannot use the TyTN outside in normal daylight! The screen is almost invisible even with screen illumination set to maximum.

                                      It supports HSDPA (guaranteed), only coverage of network is the limit.My question: is the calendarfunction really much quicker in use? Mij Q-tec 9100 is to slow in changing from week to week or dauy to day and even blocks when yoo overdemand it.

                                        Was waiting for my Dopod 838 Pro to arrive but ended up with HTC TyTN and can say that this phone is the best i have ever owned... 3G, GPRS, Wifi, Bluetooth, USB and InfraRed connectivity....

                                        As for HSDPA.. yup, it does support it. You need to do something to the registry in order to enable HSDPA.

                                        Overall.. This phone is First Class!!
