More O2 reviews , RRP: AU$1149.00

The good:

  • Slide-out QWERTY keyboard
  • Solid feel
  • Wide range of connectivity options including A2DP
  • Faster Intel processor compared with the 838 Pro

The bad:

  • Soft keys hinder typing
  • 2.5mm audio jack
  • No HSDPA
  • Average battery life

The bottomline:

With a faster processor, the Xda Zinc has a slight performance edge over the Dopod 838 Pro but falls short by a slight margin in terms of aesthetics. Unless you're looking for a QWERTY handheld, there are more options out there.
