  • Information on MS Windows Mobile site, (sorry I cannot remember url), says that upgrades are not possible unless manufacturer of phone has supported it and provided appropriate upgrade. It is very expensive and difficult for them to do that and i-mate have not done this. I get the impression that some have managed to hack things so that their smartphones will accept a generic upgrade, but these have not been very successful and the phones have not worked so well.

  • How to update my softwear in my i-mate PDA2K? from the internet thanks

  • This phone is on of a b++++, the screen chats a load of bull suga, it doesnt even work

  • Its an amazine phone. Have had it for 2.5 years now, and cant do without it. the phones body is all battered and bruised now, with wear and tear. I can't find another phone to replace it, as nothing else has such a huge touch screen. I did away with the stylus ages ago and just use my fingers on the screen. never used a screen protector or carried the phone in a case ( always in my hand or pocket), and the screen only has a tiny scratch. Some of the downsides are: Buttons may stop working, but you can still work most things through the screen. Also it sometimes hangs or restarts, and u may loose some data. i wonder if one can upgrade the software to windowsmobile6. If u find another phone with a similar sized screen, pls lemme know.

  • This is a good phone but there's a price you have to pay... batt, and other accessories are very expensive... so if you stumble into this situation where you have to replace something, its a pain... know what im sayin... but the reward is, LOADS of really, really cool apps is avail on forums for FREE! You can even hide you're mistress's text messages and scandal pix from your gf, wife. Smashing! Fantastic!........... do u know how to set this things up thanks...im using XDA II's thanks in advance...

  • i have an imate pda2k .. i was not able install software like pdf reader .... would some one help me in this matter

  • I have been in the telecoms industry now for 14 years and have used many mobile phones during this time. I have been using a PDA2k now for a year and I must admit that this is worst phone that I have ever had. It is my second one in a year my service provider gave me replacement when my first PDA2K gave me problems. The replacement phone is giving me the exact same problems as the first one and when I took it into the agent they opening admit to me that this is a problematic phone and they can do nothing about this. My service provider keeps referring me to the phone agent and the phone agent cannot do anything for me. I have spoken to several people who have the PDA2k and they tell me that they aso experience problems with their handsets as well. Compounding all of this is the fact that I raised this problem with the phone manufacturer exhibiting at a GSM conference in South Africa recently and they were unable to assist I find this situation ridiculous as I paid a lot of money for a very problematic phone and am now stuck with a phone that gives me problems. Let the buyer beware!!!!!!!

  • I own an imate PDA2k with 1Gb emmory stick attached. Suddenly, after a year and a half, while doing a backup, it gave me an error message but continued the backup after clicking SKIP. The backup was finished successfully as per the message shown on the screen. The bluetooth icon also disappeared. To my amazement clicking on start only show 'Today, Recent Programs [grayed], Programs and Setting]the list of programs installed; so pressing on any of the preset keys. However, clickig on Settings brings up the sub-menues [Personal. System, and Connections]. Amazingly, clicking on Settings>System>Remove Programs brings a list of all installed programs. Does any one know what is the problem? Many thanks indeed for any advice. Ohmos

  • ANSWERS to Queries::: 1.You can find the memory option in start/settings/system/memory 2.I am using both MMC and SD card and both of them are working fine with my PDA 3. You can download activesync for free from microsoft website. this is the only application you require to get it connected with your PC via bluetooth

  • The phone has lots of problems. and different sets may have different problems its always because of Microsoft Windows. Where there is MICROSOFT WINDOWS there must be some crashes and lots of bugs. Overall .. the features are good but relibility and accuracy is pathetic. Symbian is far more stable o/s than microsoft windows.

  • To change the ring length: To get the current call forwarding status, enter *#61# [SEND] into your phone. (If you divert to message bank, the number displayed will be +61101) It will also tell you the current delay time. Write down the number (ignore the +61), this is the phone number that your calls are currently being diverted to. Enter **61*[number]*11*[delay]#[SEND] The delay can be set to (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30) seconds. To verify that the settings are correct, enter *#61#[SEND] again.

  • This is a great PDA - not having any problems but you really have to make sure you back up either to SD card or to your computer as the system seems to crash quite a lot. Does anyone have a problem with the phone only ringing 2 or 3 times before it goes to voice mail. Can't seem to change the length of the incoming ring which is annoying as you then pay for voice mail constantly.

  • I love this as a PDA but am a bit frustrated with the phone. Does anyone else have a problem with echoing when the phone is on loud speaker? The person I have called has a constant echo in their ear.

  • How do I get a manuel for this phone

  • IF YOU REALLY WANT A SMARTPHONE, DO NOT BUY AN iMATE PDA2K!!!! This smartphone has very nice features that work well but it has basic software & other unknown problems that will drive you crazy. I purchased one in September 2005 and have barely used it other than to check out the features. It worked fine at first but now it will not work at all. The unit will not turn on even after it has been charged and hard reset. I took it to Axiom Telecom repair center in Dammam, Saudi Arabia and they told me that I downloaded some software that has corrupted the unit??? It was obvious that they did not know what they were talking about. The only software I downloaded was the upgrade from the iMate web site and now I cannnot even power up the unit. The cradle is fully operational but the unit will not charge. When the unit did work, the battery life was very poor so I had to keep it in the cradle often. If you want a Pocket PC, purchase another brand that is more reliable. I am going to sell my PDA2K at a hugh loss once I get it working. I purchased a Palm One Palm TX and it is fantastic. The only thing the TX does not have is a phone but I have decided that I do not want my PDA and phone together.

  • i got a pre owned pda2k and its still running well, the battery life last for a whole day so dont forget to charge it before yah sleep, as for the features they are jam packed, the phone also is satisfactory...sound is ok...no mic problems, so stop your yacking and get one =)

  • Can anyone help? I need to connect it via it's USB cradle to a laptop then use it as a modem. I have configured the I-Mate but how do I get the laptop to see it as a modem to dial out. All help gratefully received

  • Well, when I first looked at this phone it looked like it has all t6he features and despite the size I went out and bought one. What a disappointment!!! I am so disappointed to have spent money on this phone. It has all the features and as long as you you use just as PDA it is fine, you go using the phone features and it is lousy. it crashes all the time especially when you receive a call, i have upgraded it few times but still not reliable and the battery life is very short especially if you use bluetooth. One advise, DON'T BUY THIS PHONE

  • Look this phone is 2004 but is very very nice there�s bluetooth, there�s infrared, this phone almost speak lonely?Really,really cool,please give me one!!!!!!!!! Just kidding...

  • I am using PDA2K for couple of months. It is a great phone. But, I am not too sure as to how long it will work well. Within couple of weeks after getting the piece, I had to send it for service as it stopped functioning. After servicing, fortunately, it rings. But all the other sounds have gone. Otherwise, it is a great phone.

  • I had the same question about the RINGTONES. I ended up using the Microsoft Sound Recorder to create my own ringtones because there is nothing available for this PDA. I just palyed my music on ITunes and recorded and transformed into a .wav file. Then put on my device and set as a ringtone. Even better because I have the real song playing when someone calls.

  • can i have mp3/wma message tones ??? if yes than how ? Amazing phone, the PDA functionz amazing although the phone mode needs a bit of improvement. Overall fantastic.

  • Question! Does the PDA2K have a loudspeaker?

  • frankly its new thing for me its fantastic specially for new genertion if u understand to use all option its great mobile with every thing u want to use

  • Batt life bad. have 2 batt now at all times. ph poor. Frequently tells me cannot answer call which means I have to call the person back $$. I press answer and the ph will not answer.... Bluetooth headset will not wk properly either. Gave up on that. As a Pocket PC its gr8. Can have broadband at all times which is very handy. Had a prob with receiving sms msgs. Had 380 unreqa msgs in the inbox. All THE SAME!!! this occured twice. Thedealer said I had to reset handet to get rid of the problem which it did, however I dont have time to keep resetting...... This handset cost $1500 Australian dollars. The camera is quite ordinary, not gr8 clarity. Video too dark and too far away. I need a seperate ph handset ideally as this one is just irritating. Good luck

  • its um................. a little bit bif and it looks like a computer more like a stretched calculator and it always brakes so save ur money and go for the, Sagem MyC5-2 its a way better deal and both $199

  • where can i get a manual for this device?

  • This was my dream to hold the world in my palm and I got i-mate PDA2K. Its really good but the battery is the great problem I am facing, its just not the same written in the specification, it really does have a poor response and we need to charge it for long hours almost everyday. The service centers also gives poor response to the customer in Saudi Arabia (Axiom). Really need some solution to this problem. But on the whole this is really great and you feel like you are connected to the whole world round the clock.

  • Dis fone is really good. i was wondering if any i noes how to turn on da infrared/ thx

  • I've had it for nearly less than a year, the phone works like dream in the few months, but then come the problems, you have to go take f for repairs MONTHLY, the backup battery is useless, it always formats whenever it pleases, VERY BAD sound quality, and sometimes you have to restart the entire thing so you can actually hear the caller...

  • need to know how to enable java in IE, have few websites which i need to run but failed, other hand, all thses sites are comfortably running in Nokia 9500 due to opera browser. need assitance from anyone.

  • does anyone know, how much we can get it?

  • i used to have JAM the i bought PDA2k but the problem i cannot send items throght bluetooth. Anyone can give me solution

  • Will it support Windows Mobile 2003? It runs Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition How is the internet access, easy or not? Very easy to wind up paying your service provider connection charges, yes. Wireless access is less intuitive, but possible. Internet Explorer mobile version loses page format frequently - so (e.g. mapping pages show bits of maps all over the place). The length of the wireless, is it good? Comparable to my Centrino. Can play DVD-PPC movie on it? I recommend encoding AAC with Nero, then playback on the PDA with Betaplayer with AAC plugin. Window media player hardly plays anythign at all, and doesn't support plug-ins / codecs.

  • Can I buy it in Singapore or Hong Kong? Will it support Windows Mobile 2003? How is the internet access, easy or not? the length of the wireless, is it good? Can play DVD-PPC movie on it?

  • I forgot to mention dials up a charged connection at every opportunity - seemingly no way to stop it doing this, great idea for the phone company! O2 are slow on tech support (no reply at all yet). And don't expect windows media player or internet explorer to do anything more than view the simplest websites and play simple wmv / mp3s. Forget any idea of other codecs.

  • Great features, shame the implementation is hopeless, the device freezes every few minutes, the phone fidelity is intolerable, and the bluetooth implementation is next to useless, so you can't even improve it with a bluetooth headset. Windows mobile hype is far fro the true functionality too.

  • this type of phone's just confuse me make your mind blow up i rather have a normal phone at least if you drop it the normal phone might survive i dont think this will

  • does enybody know a Software to set MP3 as ringtones on Imate PDA2k?

  • i am trying to get connected to the internet with my laptop using my pda2k's bluetooth. someone told me that a pocket pc might not have a modem functionality. Is this the case?

Don't know any more wether I'm clueless on those 2 matters because am the medical field or am I stupid? I truly hope someone can offer poor ol me some assistance..

  • Does 2k PDA support reading/editing of word/excel/powerpoint docs? Are the required softwares part of the package or do we need to buy them seperatly?

  • Well, looks like a great machine. After 3 weeks of looking at every option to replace my Palm Tungsten C I have decided to go with this..just deciding now whther to go with GSM or whether to go with PDA 2K EVDO (the CDMA model) CDMA has much faster data transfer and better coverage in rural areas so I think thats the go. Should be ordered in next week- I can't wait!!

  • this is THE phone. its all sold out all over europe. if u want to buy then there is a waiting period of 2 weeks

  • Is the PDA2K the same phone as the Qtek 9090 ?

  • I need a phone with wireless, blue tooth and infra-red connectivity. Will be used for E-mail, Internet, Excel, Word, Calendar and Appointments. So far I have looked at the i-mate PDA2K and the Nokia 9500 Communicator. The i-mate appears to be the best option. What would you recommend and why?

  • great all in one device; but missing some options that would make it a better phone (i.e. voice activated dialing; adding a newly received number to an already existing name in one's address book) but i guess you can not have it all or else you would need to get a great phone and a powerful PDA. Keep in mind that the sliding keyboard starts getting a bit loose and slides off from its position after 2-3 months of use. The biggest problem that i have came from customer service and support in the Middle East; they are all based in Dubai and do not have the faintest idea how to keep their clients happy (i am comparing to the great service and support that i had from Palm when i had a problem with my old Palm Vx) and so i opted to throwing away the old imate "2020" and getting the PDA2k for lack of better alternatives. God forbid i have another problem with this one, i don't think that i will even entertain the idea to call support, but will rather take the easy way out and get anothe device.

  • I work in the mobile industry, and own both a D500 and one of these... and this pda is great, especially when you have 2 phones, because you then dont look silly having 2 phones, just say... "Ones a phone, and the other one is a PDA"!!!

  • For those interested, The PDA2K can handle a 1GB SD card.

  • Guys O2 is the company manufacturing Imates too so O-o

  • Hi, i'm comparing between I-mate PDA2K and the Palmone Treo 650..... which is better for daily use. can the Treo connect to MSN messenger ???

  • To, all loroo s who donot post their opinions and ask questions. PDA2K is the best at its price. A little heavier than I-mate pocket PC but WiFi. I m using Imate Pocket PC and thinking of buying it.

  • My phone was the Orange branded SPV M2000. It was recalled due to a speaker problem. I waited 7 weeks to get it back. The phone has some great functions including easy access to Word, it syncs with Outlook beautifully but its internet download speed is slow compared to my SonyEricsson P910 and phone often freezes, which means taking the battery off to kick-start the phone. It rather large too. I would have gone for the I-Mate Jam had its UK launch not been so heavily delayed. Maybe my next phone in 8 months time.

  • Imate PDA2K,read more about it, i'm getting mine soon.

  • Hi: Could anyone suggest which would be the better product to buy between: 1. Nokia 9500 Communicator 2. Imate PDA2K I would like to have the following features: 1. phone 2. use MS Offcie applications 3. camera 4. Music 5. WebBrowsing 6. wireless headset Also, does anyone know which make MMC (card make and model number needed) can be used for the 9500 Nokia communicator? Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Hello, I didn't realy get your opinion, did u mean that the Device Can't send files via Bluetooth? How is it while driving, can u like sms while driving without having to use both hands? I'm on a plan to buying this nice Business

  • Does anyone know if eXPerience would work on this NICE thing, i've been using a nokia 6600 & the ipaq 3870, With the i-mate pda2k "it combines both then i won't have to carrie 2 devices with me!

  • I have owned a PDA2K for two weeks now and have noticed, while it is a execellent unit, that the keyboard has become excessively loose. The bluetooth functionality/connectivity is also less then that of my previous phone, Siemens S55. Overall, good unit apart from some minor flaws.

  • Can i ask this mobile from where i mean what the company made this mobile?

  • can u make video calls by pda2k even if u somehow attach a new cam or something like nokia 6630?

  • seems pretty much like o2 design O_o

  • I like to surf internet, especially run on real-time. Can somebody give me advise.

  • The PDA's will take an SD storage card and yes size does matter ;) lol however it is dependant on the model with this one i would assume at least 1gb sd card it will accept but just confirm with the manufacturer. only take a quick call. you dont want to be spending hundreds of dollars on something that doesnt work with your phone / PDA

  • i just take it is great works all the function are fast programs open easy i realy love it

  • Does anyone know if it is possible to set mp3 ringtones?

  • Anyone heard about the imate pda2k ev-do?

  • Add Qtek9090 to the list

  • What do you guys prefer among: T-Mobile MDA III O2 Xda IIs i-mate PDA2k SIEMENS SX66 audiovox 6600/6601

  • dis fone is really a most have .... a think every good business man should have one of dis fone.... it has a uniq style and tell u what ? is ma dream fone

  • What connector does the PDA2K use? Is it mini USB (like the JAM), or is it like the Pocket PC i-Mate connector ?

  • Great phone, obviously good for any business especially to maintain a healthy stress free lifestyle.

  • I wish T-Mobile USA would get of their ASS and sell this model

  • Very nice phone

  • PDA2k is my 6th PDA and my 2nd PDA/phone. It's simply awesome! It's complete. Best of all, i-mate provides the fastest ROM updates. I will recommend this to most people.

  • One company made this mobile phone known elsewhere as T-Mobile MDA III or O2 Xda IIs, i-mate PDA2k, SIEMENS SX66 (HTC Made).

  • Somehow, i don't think you are Bill Gates. Now, seriously, i really do like this handheld, it looks an impressive piece of kit. Does anyone know if it is accessible to the UK market yet and what the general RRP is? I would certainly find this useful in my job as a mobile salesman. If anyone knows of a demo going, could they leave a message in here. Many thanks.

  • ello, i jus made this computer... buy it ! n make me rich, oh i am rich !!! hahaha
