With all the usual gadgets inside this compact piece of kit, I was more interested in what else it could do. So I played and played. The P800W boasts a full PDA suite that you can receive your e-mail; connect to MSN messenger and all the others too.
A quadband phone complete with GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPRS/GSM, USB, EDGE, FM radio, SMS, Email, Instant message, it can also take all the major ring tone types and MP3's as well, you will never be far away from your favourite tunes. All the usual camera functions that in clued video too, 2 mega pixels, and a 2X zoom capability, you can capture that funny moment in what may just be the best quality camera phone on the market.
With full windows capability, including PPT, you have a virtual office everywhere you go. But with a rated battery life of only five hours, you will need to recharge quickly.
The installed applications include Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 with Direct Push technology; Outlook Mobile, Office Mobile (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), Adobe Reader (PDF), IE Mobile, Windows Media Player 10 Mobile, Pocket MSN, Active sync, Comm Mgr, FM Radio, Internet Sharing, Map King R12 w/SEA maps (choice of one country), Sprite Backup, Audio Manager, CE-Star (via web download)
Okay, so what makes this so special? Did you ever get lost in any country? Always thought a GPS navigation system was or could be a useful gadget? Well the DOPOD P800W has one!!! It allows you to connect to MAP KING, which will give you a route from anywhere in SG or JB.
You could even take a picture of the place you are at, embed the GPS SATELLITE co-ordinates in to it, send it via MMS, and the person on the other end will be able to track you down; as long as they have the same phone of course.... Not too good for those drunken nights with pals and you accidentally send it to the wife.
All in all, this a truly great phone, it will take some working out as there are a lot of features that you will not be aware of. But once you get around them, you will have a remarkably functional phone that allows you to be in contact with anyone around the world. It even has a VOIP function, allowing you to make calls over the internet in any Wi-Fi zone. My rating is *****. (I have asked the boss for one as my Christmas bonus).
