More Dopod reviews , RRP: AU$899.00

The good:

  • Windows Mobile 6
  • HSDPA
  • 802.11g

The bad:

  • Small buttons bad for dialling
  • Keyboard Windows Mobile doesn't work that well
  • Twitchy scroll controls
  • No secondary camera

The bottomline:

Dopod's C730 has some great and highly enticing technology hiding under its slim hood. A pity then, that it's such a poor smartphone to actually use.

    The Explain Series

    • 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.

    • Nokia E71

      Nokia E71

      With its combination of excellent features and performance, matched with sleek design and its affordable price tag, Nokia's E71 manages to outshine recently released smartphones as our business phone of choice.

    • HTC Touch Diamond

      HTC Touch Diamond

      It's hard to hate the beautifully designed and feature-rich HTC Touch Diamond, though its frequently laggy interface did test our patience, and its battery life is a concern.
