Design and Looks
The design of the phone resembles a mini tablet and which is highlighted by the huge 5 inch screen on the device. The display is capable of 640x480 VGA resolution. The device stands at 98x133.5x16.8 millimeters weighing 359 grams. The screen can also display about 192 dpi and gives a great color output.
The keyboard on the phone is magnetically connected to the screen and is unique in its form factor. The keyboard features large keys and are equally spaced with their layout. The keys lack the tactile feel though. The keys for some reason are arranged in different order compared to a normal keyboard with 123 on top of 456 and 789 below 456.
This requires time to get used to as the fingers would normally be adjusted to the standard layout. There is support for all special characters and as well as the accented characters. There is no backlight onthe keyboard but to some extent the 5 inch screen display’s brightness is enough to light out the keyboard area.
The dimension of the keyboard stands out 4mm to 16 inches making it difficult to carry out around. With its functionality to detach it from the screen makes a great feature to leavethe keyboard behind and use the screen just as a tablet.
The phone feature on the DOPOD U1000 is not at all great if you’re looking to use it directly as a phone. It’s a data device first and phone next therefore having a Bluetooth headset is must which eliminates all possibilities of hiccups with the phone functionality on the device. The phone on theDOPOD U1000 is capable of GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA device with 3.5G capabilities making it usable around the world. The signal strength is excellent on the device and does not lack any reception issues. A smart feature is also included on the phone which makes it easy for calling.
On the multimedia front the HTC DOPOD U1000 comes along with a 3 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash light. There is also a front VGA camera which could be solely used for video conference.
The camera performs good enough for a mini tablet and gives it a nice add on feature. There is also GPS on board which is a treat to use. The Google Maps as a software is a pleasure to use on the 5 inch screen and gives a wealth of data in-front of the user.
The internet experience is again nicely built with IE6 and Opera onboard. They are able to flash based and other media rich sites without a problem and get easily adjusted with the size.
The music player and the video player are supported by the Windows Media player which is a standard player on the device and can only play default formats. For other formats one can use the TCPMP player which does almost all formats and is able to give more functionality to you rather than the basic Windows player.
Overall the HTC DOPOD U1000 with its huge feature list provides a decent battery and appeals to only users who would want the functionality of a tablet pc with an added phone.
