If ur 818 lag or hang...
Do install Pocket Plus... It really help alot...
At 1st i had same problem like u guys... After install and been using for 2 day till now ... Did not hang at all...


Does anyone know where can get K.L map for 818??? Any software...

planning to one.. between a 818 or N70..
like the cool black but look like a toy for me.. and silver are common.. heheh XD
anyway, what is the market price for 818 currently..
and can i read/write chinese with the 818 or i need to have some sorta software installed?

thanks~

anything can happen within 1/2 year...

totally agreed. Just don't worry about price depreciation, just enjoy your gadget.

Pocket Plus? must check it out 1st

btw ppl, how do u install those softwares for ppc that u've downloaded from the website?

this is just my opinion .. whether its really true or not ..

without SPB pocket plus .. when you quiting some programs ..it doesnt really exits anyway .. the programs are still inside the memory .. so when there's a lot of programs running inside the memory .. thats caused the phone to lag or hang ..

whereelse ..if you install the pocket plus .. it will clear up the memory after u exit the programs..

for me .. i just do the "Stop All" in the memory setting each time i quit programs..

If it's an exe file....you need to sync with PC...then run the exe from PC. Automatic will install into ur ppc.

If it's a cab file...just put in ur storage card or ur ppc and click. After installation, the cab file will delete by itself.

bro, ya my unit is set to turn off device on external power after few minutes idle.

Got good news, this morning when on back the 818 pro, no hanging. I made sure last night before charging i stopped all programs running in Memory. Guess that solves the problem.

Another problem i encounter is that so far 5 programs with icons have change to "folder" and when i click on them, its says not a PPC application. The programs are Opera Browser 8.5b, Worldmate Pro, CIH (conversion in hand), Resco Guardians and Resco Sudoku.

The programs all were running ok but suddenly one day the icon change to "folder". It happened last week when i was browsing with Opera Browser and suddenly Opera dissapear and when i did a soft reset the said programs icons all changed to "folder icon". I have since reinstalled Opera Browser and its working fine and deleted CIH, Resco Guardians and Resco Sudoku since i don't used them.


And boy, using 818 pro while driving is really susah and dangerous, that's why i am not using it as my Main Phone but as a back up.

i alwiz press Stop All too, dunno if it really closes all though

Got it uncle! btw, i checked the transcend 80x SD 1gb u mentioned, priced at HK$410 (cheapest i saw). maybe can go lower. think it's ok? cos c-zone selling it for rm225 nia so if wanna get have to wait 3 months later

dun wei, dangerous leh. dopod is my main unit but if got sms come in or wat i just reply when the traffic light is red

use the hand free kit laaa ...

You're not supposed to drive and call at the first place. But anyway..there's always speed dials and even so...one hand operation is still ok lar. SMS though is a different story.

Guys have u tested skype on this Dopod 818 Pro? I read from reviews they said it's too cpu clock is too low need to overclock the processor first sniper have u test skype via dopod?

Yes I've tested it and yes its probably the snappiest of PPCs ard. However, I'd

like to suggest you test it out personally and see if u like the feel of the form factor bcz it is bulkier due to battery size..and if ur gona use a casing, pls for the love of God if ur gonna put it in yr pocket..dun wear tight pants/jeans to avoid unwanted giggles.

Another thing I cannot stress enuf is the speaker volume. Do test the speaker volume before making a purchase especially those who used to use conventional handphones like me, which has better ringing volume. I took some time to adapt to the PPC ringing volume and had to resort to increasing the ringing tone volume using windows sound recorder but it is still differentlah compared to conventional phone ringing volume...so make sure u try that out for practical purposes.

3rdly, is the feel of the buttons and Directional Pad. I attribute my decision to purchase Dopod partially to the way the buttons and D Pad felt on the Dopod as compared to Eten..but whats more important is that it has Soft Keys on it. But if u couldn't care less about one hand operation..i guess Eten's pretty good buy.

Other than the excellent performance figures shown in charts by Eten, I think it is also important to pay attention to its physical layout and feel of the buttons. To put it in perspective, i really think nobody's gonna buy a PDA which has buttons placed behind the PDA and pressing buttons feel like squashing vegetables (imo, the Eten's buttons felt a lil plasticky for my liking) eventhough the PDA is the fastest amongst all.


Cheers to all PDA users,

Wahh!!This dopod looks like DarthVAder ...I like..Anyway just sell my mini n looking 4ward to get this stuff(after gaji)..What is the price now??Offcourse BLACK RULEZ!Anybody hellllp me please!!

Hi there! New to this club. Got mine black yesterday.

I bought the silicone case yesterday but didn't like it after i put it so took it out and leave it a side

Anyway guys, a reminder from me. Don't buy the Capdase Bi-Fold casing for ur Dopod. the holder inside can scratch ur dopod. I tested yesterday during my shopping trip in HK here

Told you so right... dom dom just feels so unnatural.

Which color did you get?

black one. the only stall which have that particular case for dopod though. other stalls selling for o2 mini so the buttons different

how much you got it for, if you don't want it i may be interested to get the black silicone case from you.

i bought the kinda "clear" silicone case but also didn't like it.

u sure u want it?

i got it for rm20 liddat.

anyway guys, a question from me. i wanna install alarmclock for my dopod...so which .cab file i should use? ARM or MIPS?
