Dopot D810
Major features
Relatively new to Australia, Dopod was first seen down under on the mass market when Three took on the 838Pro and 565 models earlier this year. The D810 is the latest handset to be picked up by Three, and is loosely based on the 838Pro.
The D810 includes almost all of the features the 838Pro, with a little change here and there. The only major change is the removal of the slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The D810 has a complete set of connectivity options – both wide area and local area. Other features include the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, miniSD memory card expansion slot, and a range of pre-installed functionality applications for the on-the-go worker.
As many will already know, Dopod was acquired by HTC several moons ago – back in June 2006 to be exact. The D810 is based on the HTC P3600 (Trinity), which has been released by that name in some areas of the globe. The HTC P3600 and Dopod D810 only differ slightly.
- 2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz connectivity
- 3G: WCDMA/HSDPA 850/1900/2100MHz connectivity
- WiFi 802.11b/g WLAN connectivity
- 65,536 colour touch screen TFT LCD @ 240 x 320 pixels
- 360° scroll wheel
- Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC Phone Edition
- Samsung SC2442 400MHz processor
- 128MB Flash ROM and 64MB SD-RAM
- MiniSD memory card support
- 2mpx digital camera
- Bluetooth version 2.0, infrared, and USB version 2.0 connectivity
- SMS/EMS, MMS, and (push) e-mail support
- Bundled functionality/PIM applications

Samsung U600
The U600 is a new addition to Samsungs Ultra Edition II line of phones, and what makes this one so special is that it’s the world’s thinnest slider phone. The thin frame is no indication of what’s underneath because if you keep reading you will discover that the U600 is jam packed with features.
It amazes me how so much can be fit into such a small device. This feat is achieved through Innovative Smart Surface Mounting Technology (SSMT) which compresses the most advanced features into a super slim form. Another advantage of SSMT is that it reduces the number of components needed as well as the noise between the components, enabling the U600 to shave off excess bulk. The U600 measures 103.2 x 49.3 x 10.9mm and weighs only 81.5g which means you can carry it with you anywhere and anyhow.
The front display measures 2.22” and is a QVGA (320*240 pixels) TFT screen capable of producing 262k colours. The screen is surrounded with a reflective mirror-like coating which extends to the touch menu keys, giving the phone a smooth and elegant feel. On the back of the phone is a 3.2 mega pixel camera (2048x1536 pixels) with LED flash, auto focus, half-shutter and 4x digital zoom. In addition to that, it has support for video recording. All this data can be stored on either the 60MB of internal memory or the expandable MicroSD card.
Looking at the multimedia on the phone, the U600 has a music player that supports MP3/AAC/eACC/WMA formats, FM radio, TV output, document viewer and speakerphone. An interesting fact about the music player is that it uses Bang & Olufsen’s Ice Power to reduce energy consumption by up to 90% while maintaining the amazing sound quality.
The U600 has quad-band network support (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and is powered by a Lithium-Ion 690 mAh battery giving the phone up to 3.7 hours of talk time and 275 hours of standby. These battery figures are achieved through the use of Samsungs Optimized Power Usage Solution (OPUS) which assists various battery draining functions in reducing the battery consumption, in some cases by up to 40%.
Connectivity on the U600 is well decked out with support for USB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP (stereo Bluetooth) support, GPRS and EDGE. Noticeably missing is 3G and WLAN. The U600 has support for SMS, MMS and Email and with the Samsung Smart UI software, you can create SMS and MMS from the same composer. The Smart UI software also has extra added capabilities to make usability trouble-free, and adds a PC-like feel to the phone. One such feature is phone search, which allows you to search the device for a specific file.
Elsewhere, the U600 is available in Sapphire Blue, Blue/Red, Silver/White, Gold/Black but it is still unsure which colours we Australia will receive. If you are after a stylish handset without comprising on features this is definitely the phone for you. The thin frame, reflective surfaces and a metallic look really emphasis the fine lines of the phone. The innovative design of the phone and the amazing back-end technology still provide all the features that one might expect in this day and age. The U600 should be released in the 3rd quarter and I can’t wait to get my hands on one.

Nokia 3500 Classic
The 3500 Classic is one of the latest mid-range devices out of Nokia HQ, announced at Nokia Connection in Singapore recently. The simplistic, colourful device has a large 1.8” LCD display, microSD memory card support, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, and a 2mpx digital camera with 8x zoom.
The 3500 Classic’s display has a smoked gloss surface and an active area of 1.8”. The resolution is 128 x 160 pixels and the TFT display supports up to 262,144 colours. The 2mpx digital camera has a full screen viewfinder application for capturing images up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. The 8x digital zoom can be used to get closer to the action, but unfortunately there is no flash.
There is a solid metal rim around the outside of the handset that protects it from scratches, and gives the handset a very similar look to the Nokia 6300. The handset also has colouring in the keymat to add a touch of colour to the face of the handset. The back of the 3500 Classic is bright blue – but kept minimalistic with just the 2mpx lens and Nokia branding.
In terms of memory, the 3500 Classic has 32MB of flash and 16MB of RAM – but only 8.5MB of user accessible memory. Thankfully there is a microSD memory card slot which supports cards up to 2GB in size for additional storage space. The 3500 Classic has a media player which supports MP3, AAC, eAAC, eAAC+, WMA, true tones, and polyphonic MIDI files. These file types are also supported as ringing tones.
Connecting to a PC or other compatible device is easy with either USB or Bluetooth protocols. The handset has a miniUSB port and built in Bluetooth connectivity, which can be used to synchronize and transfer data to and from the handset.
The 3500 Classic supports the GSM 850, 900, 1800 and 1900MHz networks and has EDGE and GPRS Class 10 packet connectivity for over the air data. Pre-installed applications include Instant Messaging with Presence, Flash Lite 2.0, and several PIM applications including an alarm, organizer, calculator, countdown timer, and voice functionality applications.
The 3500 Classic is expected down under in the 3rd quarter of 2007.
