Almost felt like I received my order from MobilePlanet.com that I have been waiting for almost a month now! Anyway, you pointed out what type of memory card goes in the slot, but did not mention if it can handle a 2GB micro SD. Also read that the 838 Pro coming out of Hong Kong had the HSDPA disabled, but can be enabled with the fit4kat website. And for those concerned about battery life, I just bought a 1500mah from ebay for GBP 13.90(shipping included) that I still have to test whenever I get my 838 pro. A very good quality black or natural finish aluminum case w/ strong screen protector and removable rotating belt clip also available on ebay for less than $25 (shipping included) to protect it.

All the major features appear to be accounted for, and the form factor fits into my personal preference for a mobile unit - I the guy that has stuck with the iPaq 4150 for so long because even with the aluminum case I carry it in, it still rides in my pants/shorts pocket every day, and goes every where. It looks like this Dopod 838Pro comes closer to that form than most others I've seen, AND offers things like Wi-Fi even with all other connectivity options. I am a bit bummed about the headphone port thing...I needed to use a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter with my iPaq 1945 - something I don't miss on the 4150! The thought of having to have another "dongle" just to sit back and listen to tunes or watch a movie on the train is discouraging. It's fine if I have my briefcase with me that I throw all those bits into, but if I'm just out at lunch or whatever, I'd have to remember to carry it - just more junk in the pocket. Still, it is a pretty lust-worthy device for my needs. I'm going to have to sit down and do some hard 'calculatin' to see if I can swing one of these units. Nice review, Judie! Always appreciate the detail and focus on the practical aspects of a device, instead of just feature buzz. I think this qualifies as the first PPC PE unit that I have seriously lusted after.

Someone found a hack though that allowed both to be active. There was no technical limitation, just Verizon mucking around so that you wouldn't use WiFi as often, and stick with using a data plan. Nice :D

IF anyone remembers differently, correct me - but I seem to recall that it was always an issue with them, but there were hacks that would remove the limitation. The Universal welcomed me back with open arms. There is something comforting about its metal body, and the larger screen is a treat. As a bonus, after running comparison benchmark tests today, I gave it a hard reset and then reloaded my favorite software...it seems to be running faster than before, too. ;-) Come to think of it, I think that WiFi restriction was only on certain Verizon CDMA Pocket PC Phones.

I'm itching to get one now. Question on the WiFi. Can you send/receive calls even while using the WiFi? Some devices turn off the phone when WiFi is on, and I haven't seen info regarding this on the Hermes. Thanks! Sweet review. I’m itching to get one now.
