No Dopod brand anymore

Wednesday, May 9, 2007

HTC just announced that it has signed an acquisition agreement with Dopod International. In the future, all of HTC’s new products will be marketed under the HTC brand. IMHO, it is a good news. We could expect the new products to be released much faster on the Asia market.

My Dopod Hermes is back

Monday, March 26, 2007

昨天取回維修完的Dopod 838 pro,如果之前沒有打電話到維修中心催促他們快點完成,復活節假前也未必能夠取回。在維修中心內看到不少D810,最感驚訝的是看見的用家已是一把年紀,不曉得這麼先進科技會帶給他們那裡的方便,又或者他們只是代家人來取機。

Dopod Hermes dead

Monday, March 12, 2007

My Dopod 838 Pro is dead, or “bricked” as what they qualified at xda-developers. At first I was testing the “cooked” ROM WM6, and I was really impressed by the speed improvement bought into this version.

Dopod 838 pro: another review

Friday, October 20, 2006

部機用咗近一個月,喺時候出多個review。今次彈多過讚,因初頭第一次接觸部機實在喺有啲驚喜,所以嗰review嘟唔喺太中肯。用耐咗發覺毛病多咗。主要唔太滿意嘅地方喺hang機情況算幾頻密,覺得以前部818pro重穩定過佢。但用嘅software一樣,可能今次啲花神嘢多,出錯位自然多咗。好似嗰ok制咁,有時完全冇反應要reset先至得噃。呢D基本嘢雖然影響唔大但係嘟幾激氣。 最頭痛既地方喺如果用佢嗰跟機腰包打橫放夾住個褲帶喥﹔有時電話入攞起時佢會自動接call。經常都喺咁。用bluetooth耳機當然冇呢個問題,但喺有時唔想帶多樣嘢喺身。跟住就喺覺得嗰keyboard太鬆,握住佢覺得郁郁吓。有時開機後,佢已經變咗Landscape mode但喺嗰keyboard喺冇拉出嚟,跟住佢會自動轉噃做Portrait 。唉,轉來轉去何必呢!重有一樣唔方便就喺部機冇audio jack,睇來呢個喺HTC未來行嘅路線,因為Artemis(P3300)同Trinity(P3600)嘟好似喺咁。如果真係唔方便,可以揾D adaptor幫幫手。

Dopod 838 pro: 1 week after

Saturday, September 30, 2006

Dopod838pro是台灣 HTC 型號「Hermes」的產品,也是首部兼容 HSDPA(3.5G) 的 Windows Mobile 5.0 的 PDA 手機。但 Dopod 的機種把 HSDPA 功能關掉,如想把它開啓請參考這裡。
外型

這部838pro的外型較TyTN或CHT9000美觀,不過這個還是見仁見智。另外它加設了一個OK鍵及類似jogdial的輪子,把整部PDA使用方便度提升,對於差不多任何的操作單手也可應付。
鍵盤
這部838pro的其中一個賣點就是內置鍵盤,它的操作性能良好,不用花費太多時間便能上手。如果能做到鍵盤拉出便能開啟電源那就更好了。
穩定性

本人的PDA主要用途在於記錄約會(Appointments),要做的事情(Tasks),看書,聽MP3,間中會看看錄下的電視節目,寫Blog,記帳…等等。軟件方面不多包括:Spb Diary, TCPMP, Opera, mDict, Isilo, eWallet, Cash Organizer, CHM eBook Reader. 所有軟件安裝都很順利,運作也很暢順反應速度算是滿意。偶然也需要reset,但次數可以接受。老實講reset是Micro$oft平台或軟件的特性,兩者不能分離。雖然要reset但時間不太長,不會令人煩躁。另外本人覺得開機時間比其他PDA機長。
通訊
本人不是一個高用量手提電話用家,對於這方面功能要求不大。用了一星期算是滿意,響聲比818Pro大,對話也很清色。用Bluetooth聽歌及接電話大至上沒有問題,例如當電話講完,MP3會繼續播放,中間可能有1,2秒遲延但這可沒法子了。另外有一點奇怪是當使用bluetooth聽歌,而wifi嘗試連接的時侯音樂會斷了,這很不正常。
耐用性
電池的耐用性是理想的,奇怪的是用量指標只會每10%才更新,即是full charge之後是90%,跟著80%如此下去。起初一直維持 100%,還以為這電池真厲害。另外叉電時感覺好像叉不到滿,這個要留待日後觀察。
結論
Dopod 838 pro 是一部出色的PDA電話,主要是因為它穩定性強,通訊功能相對於早期同一類型的科技產品已是理想。可惜香港3G網絡還未成熟,還未能完全享受Mobility的樂趣。

Dopod 838 pro released

Tuesday, September 26, 2006

在Dopod於9月19日的發佈會過後,很多人都到處詢問這部新玩兒幾時有得買。就好像是看得到摸不到的一樣。其後過了一個星期終於在各大電子產品零售店出售,可惜英文版非常稀有,去了多間百老匯都只有中文版,店員透露只有沙田,銅鑼灣,屯門分店有貨而且每間得一部。最後入了鐳射碰碰運氣,這是一間平時不會幫襯的店鋪因給我印象是不可靠,但居然有貨。不知他們從那裡找出來,等了五分鐘才有人送到,我便細心驗查包裝像是新的,serial no.是HT636都算是很新的一批。測試了一會覺得沒有問題便用信用咭付款,還送了一張eagletech 1Gb的MicroSD咭。
