Dopod U1000 Reviews

MobileBurn has a hands-on preview of the Dopod U1000 (based on the HTC Athena) and writes: “The 624Mhz Intel Bulverde CPU worked well, but actual performance appeared to be more limited by the 128MB RAM. This is especially apparent when loading up the camera. Loading files from the 256MB ROM and the 4GB miniSDHC are noticeably faster than from the 8GB MicroDrive hard disk. When you save a file, the device will prompt you to choose between the ROM or the MicroDrive. … One interesting feature on the Dopod U1000 is the VueFLO motion sensor, which can respond to the slanting of the device. As such, you can tilt the screen to scroll up or down. This worked pretty well during our quick test.” Link.

CNET Asia has a review of the Dopod U1000 and writes, “It’s obvious the U1000 is not for everyone. Most users will want a handheld that can fit into a pocket at least, and not invite stares every time it is whipped out. But for those who want the best in a portable device, the U1000 is it. The VGA screen makes for great Internet browsing, and the sheer size of that 5-inch display means you don’t have to squint to do so. … for those willing and able to fork out the money, the Dopod U1000 is the most maxed-out Windows Mobile device one can buy.” Link.
