Dopod 595 Specifications

By David Flynn on 05/12/2006

More Dopod reviews , RRP: AU$995.00

The good:

  • Elegant design looks like a classy phone
  • Uses high-speed 3G rather than the aging GSM network
  • Excellent manual

The bad:

  • Data input is restricted to the keypad

The bottomline:

There may be no slimmer or more stylish Windows Mobile smartphone on the market, and certainly none that run on 3G. However, the comparatively high price tag and lack of a QWERTY keypad or touchscreen could make you look twice at larger, more conventional smartphones.

    The Explain Series

    • Motorola MC75

      Motorola MC75

      Enterprises looking to deploy a rugged, versatile mobile device will be impressed by the Motorola MC75's range of features. However, you pay a premium for smartphone functionality in a hardened form; this phone is not only tough, it is massive to the point of being unwieldy.

    • HTC S740

      HTC S740

      HTC took the Touch Diamond's glossy black frame, stripped away the touchscreen, added a QWERTY keyboard and called it the S740. This latest Windows Mobile smartphone should deliver the same business messaging punch as the popular Diamond.

    • HP iPAQ 612c Business Navigator

      HP iPAQ 612c Business Navigator

      HP's latest iPAQ, the 612c Business Navigator, is a solid offering with lots of features and good battery life. It's a bland-looking and giant handset, but good performance and crisp touchscreen somewhat make up for the poor keypad.

    • Asus P750

      Asus P750

      The Asus P750 may be chunky, but it packs in a huge array of features. Combined with an equally impressive software bundle, the result is an excellent multifunction handheld that should appeal to a wide range of mobile professionals.

    • BlackBerry Bold 9000

      BlackBerry Bold 9000

      The Bold is what BlackBerry fans have been waiting for. It's feature-rich and sharply designed, let down in small measure by some cumbersome software.
