i-mate Smartphone2 - User Reviews

  • How to lock?

  • This was my first smartphone. A class product during the time 2004. I think the market in India was not that much aware of a smart phone or windows phone. I moved directly to imate from my Nokia 3310. The main features I liked were the excellent sound quality(speaker and Headphones), best screen resolution, I can install apps and more over the smartphone features. I still have this phone in working condition, the battery is almost dead.

  • ow yeah

  • please solution if the total dead???

  • has anyone know were to buy LCD for this unit. i have one but the LCD is not working. anyone know a shop here in the philippines

  • i had a great experience with this phone... i actually had one of these when they first came out going back a few years.....considering now we have 8 m.p cameras, when i first had this phone the camera quality seemed amazing.... all the features were easy to use...as i was 13 years old at the time! good phone for the time but then i lost is out at sea...so some fish are enjoying my old phone now :)hope they have a good time with it

  • my i-mate phone is not functioning well. Thus, the applications were locked and when I open applications, a message always pop-out: ""access denied. The program cannot start because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate.". What shall i do with this???

  • My Imate died with a few months. Never worked! And the Imate not solved the problem. I loved this mobile, but could not use it. If someone can help me ... tell me something.

  • Beware if buying one second-hand... The 4 and backspace keys are notorious for getting 'stuck' and not working properly.

  • Debz, Here is a step by step guide on how to remove the backplate: A bit late for you though I expect :)

  • this is a good phone. with it's connectivity and data storage capacity, this could be a hit.

  • the smartphone is not a smartphone!!!

  • I wonder if someone can tell me how and/or if the faceplate come off, a few of the buttons are stiff and I need to get it open to clean behind?? would appreciate your input. Thanks Debz

I am unable to make calls but can receive calls 2.Can't operate a single thing in my device....this happened because of....... When i bought i activated my GPRS so as to use messenger on my handheld....but i needed yahoo messenger in this so downloaded agile messenger on my PC and connected my handheld through data cable and copied the file into it.My device was still on data cable and i open the agile messenger file to install it but it gave the error "NOT A VALID WINDOWS CE APPLICATION" , then there was an option "associate the file" (in my phone) i clicked that and selected app.exe(application manager) but it still didn't worked.So i thought i would take space so i deleted the file and from that day onwards my phone never showed any response.It starts and comes to desktop but when i open anything it doesnt respond.

  • this phone is absolute rubbish! its a worthless piece of crap. keys are messed up, OS is crap, its bulky, not at all user friendly, gprs settings is complicated, bluetooth is messed up, camera is absolute rubbish! i would u not to buy it, anything but this!

  • the imate smartphone is easy to use & i find a lot easier answer the phone

  • bombastic fone guyz .. m enjoyin it ! its very different then other fones !

  • this thing should come in more colours.....maybe green and black......silver just looks to plain and common.....silver looks pretty bland.....everybody is bored of silver....give us more colours!!!!

  • Cool Phone Man :) i want 2!

  • For those who are looking software that can support ms word and excel for ms smartphone, please check this software called "ClearVue".

  • I am using this phone and so far what i can comment is that this phone does have great features. It does have 3rd party tools for view and edit ms word and excel. Please check in . Batery lifetime so far can stay up to 3 days. If you are more on multimedia usage, then it can stay up to 2 days. It does have some disadvantages. I guess there is no perfect phone in the market. It depends on your requirement and usage.

  • Bulky and buttons are too small. If it is in the case it will answer before you can get it out. Feels too gimmicky and lack useability as a phone. Battery life is very poor with bluetooth on. I used it for two months and got my employer to change it.

  • Does this mean there isn't downloads like microsoft word etc for this phone?

  • Hi, I m planning to buy this one. Please suggest... well does it have Word/Excel ? How is the batery backup?

  • it started off well but now one year later it is crap. The off button does not work, the unlock comes on all of the time, the stop call button doesnt work and the memory card doesnt stay in. It really had all of the features I wanted but now it is a bid nuisance - anyway i am now looking for an upgrade - so bye

  • O2 Xphone

  • Hi all! I am a phone salesperson and I have sold a lot of this model. If you ask me is it a good phone...I have to say: Depends! Coz the QC of this phone is not as consistant as other mobile, so some customers have a lot of terrible problems whereas others have nothing wrong with it at all. I personally like this phone coz the value in it...but if u are shopping around for a smartphone...go for the SP3i...much better QC

  • Hi I have been using this mobile for the past 1 month... It's just superb.... Best mobile with good options.

  • I bought this set after hearing from one of my friend. good mobile but i am unable to find any microsoft product in it (Word,Excel etc) where are these? or from where i can get them? please help me otherwise it is just a piece of crab for me and i think it is not wise to buy such a expensive device as a mobile phone only.

  • I have this smartphone for 3 months, and is the better mobile than never i buy. I buy this mobile with a GPS bluetooth and is superb, incredible, is the best. You can watch divx films ( until 4 films of 2 hr. in a 512mb sd card), finally, the best mobile. (sorry my english im spanish user)

  • total crap!. I have this phone for 10mths. I have had 1 total replacement,2 repairs and it has another fault. Talk about the bleeding edge.

  • Im havin a delema. I dont know what ro buy. A smartphone 2 unit or a N6260.Which 1 is better? Please Email me for answers.Thanx a lot!

  • Next to PDA cellular phones, this maybe the best handheld phone ever made. With its superb internal memory and an MMC/SD card slot, a VGA cam and recorder, infrared and bluetooth connectivity, 65T TFT screen, and microsoft powered software, what can you ask for.

  • Great software and hardware, vast improvement over the previous model.

  • Toooo bulky
