I have one major problem with my Dopod C730, it seems to have a warped battery cover which means it fits will on one side but stands proud on the other. This means the cover is prone to pop off at any time, so this particular device isn’t really usable day to day basis. I’m trying to sort this out with the supplier Bright Phones (http://portagadgets.com/uk/home.php) who did a good job getting it to me. This is the first time I’ve used them as I normally go through Expansys, Easy Devices or Mobile Planet. I selected them because I thought they shipped from the UK but this was an error by Ebay so there was extra lead time whilst it came from HK.
This is most frustrating because I want to use this device day to day but I can’t. So I have to wait for Bright Phones to resolve what to do, but they seem to genuinely want to resolve it quickly. I’ll post more when I know what happens. So all I can do now is look at it whilst I go back to using my Excalibur.
Warped battery cover, bad side
Warped battery cover, good side.
UPDATE: Looks like this is a design fault from Dopod where the cover does not fit properly. Apparently the whole batch have this issue. Watch this space.
