When Motorola Q successfully penetrated the market of smarthphones with QWERTY keyboard which was previously divided by Blackberry and Palm Treo, did Motorola expect a new great competitor coming from an Asian brand that wasn't even too well known at the time? Dopod is kicking in their new kid in the block, the Dopod C720W, which is their slimmest smartphone so far. If you're wondering how good the C720W is, it won against the Motorola Q in CNET Asia's very own Prizefight, owning the Motorola Q in sexiness, connectivity and call quality while losing for navigation and multimedia.

The Dopod C720W runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 for Smartphone (AKU3) operating system. It is powered by a TI OMAP 200 MHz processor and 128MB ROM / 64MB RAM built-in memories. Even though it has a large 2.4-inch QVGA display, it only measures 12.8 mm in thickness. Dopod implements the Jogger Control Pad in the C720W for convenient messaging communications. The C720W offers support for Microsoft Push Mail function, allowing new message to be downloaded from the server automatically as long as the GPRS/EDGE connectivity is turned on. This smartphone also comes with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 supports, A2DP support, and a microSD memory expension slot.
