+ REVIEWS:

CNET reviews the Dopod C720W, they rated the phone 8/10 and write:
“The C720W has superior wireless options. First, it offers integrated Wi-Fi, a feature lacking in the Moto Q and the current crop of BlackBerrys, and EDGE support, giving you the freedom to surf the Web on the road using Internet Explorer Mobile…We tested the quadband (GSM 850/900/1800/1900; EDGE) C720W, and call quality was excellent. On our end, conversations were loud and clear, though there was a slight hollowness to the sound, but our callers were impressed by the clarity of the phone calls and added that they couldn’t even tell we were on a cell phone.”
