      U2ND, the Dopod 818 Pro does have built in message alert tones. But only when. Check under Settings, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications Tab. You should be able to change it there.

      By the way. The device is great. Had it for about the weeks now. Have configured to retrieve my GMail. Works well with GMail's POP access, don't have to use inbox stingy Hotmail anymore. However, don't try and run too many programmes at once. It's a PDA-phone damnit, not a full blown PDA like an Axim or and iPAQ. The battery life rocks anyway. Can't way for the next ROM update. It shold include AKU2.

              Cost in Saudi Arabia $800. It seems too high. Can anyone advise prices elsewhere in the world?
              Worry about battery life, any one knows talk time and standby time hours?

                          I couldnt hard reset my device as per instruction in the manual. Please advise.
                          Besides that, everybody including me loves the device.

                              Got this dopod818pro 10 days ago. Speed is as good as my old ipaq2210. there is a 2 scond lag on the initial start up of message application after turn-on, but is instantaneous thereafter. Battery life about 2.5 days with moderate usage phone/gprs/wifi. Call quality is great. Have not experienced any dropped calls.

                              grouses:- 1. does not have build in chinese input and characters.3rd party software slows down the PDA.
                              2. characters in messages are not sizeable. It is tiny especially with the chinese characters from 3rd party software
                              3. One hand operation for sms is not easy.
                              4. The manual is not comprehensive for advanced usage.

                              Overall it is a excellent piece of equipment. Highly recommended.

                                Jamin has a *Dual Core* processor and according to some comments it seems one core is dedicated to running the phone functions leading to a snappier performance.

                                So comparing a 200Mhz OMP processor to a 400Mhz ARM solely on their Mhz rating is far from accurate.

                                  Why why why? Such a slow processor, 200 mhz compared to Imate Jam 412 mhz, and no 3G capability... Think progress, I mate, progress.. such a teaser!

                                        Speed is less of an issue than I thought. It seems to be only the Message application that is slow.

                                        Battery life: Charged 2 days ago and after 1 hour of phone calls, 15 minutes of light WiFi use, a few photographs and a bit of PDA clicking: 50% left.

                                        That is quite satisfactory for me at least. 65k color screen is not an issue for me, I would need to be a professional to notice that it is not true color.

                                        Two soft resets needed so far which is tolerable.

                                        So all in all I would say Jamin is recommended as a PDA Phone.
