  • i have i mate ultimate 8502 which is truly awesome but people hv been saying its not good...i wanna know who has got this phone and their features

  • This phone is cancelled because the the company making phones for i-mate as well the O2 has already come up with its own brand called HTC!!! Yes htc is the only company making phones for thiese two companies!!! moreover HTC is having MICROSOFT lincese. No other company has it so they just stopped manufacturing!!!!

  • u people living in europe u still can have these phone because take it for example u can not get it in France but u still can access it if u try crossing the border by going up to England where u can find it,oh by the way its impossible to hear that u can get it in France why? i mean France is well known of its Modern technology and the repid growth of its Economical development and Mellenium Goals that are mainly set for targets to archives i believe there is no reason for u to say that u can not get it in France when there is a place u can find that is available to buy these fone from

  • idk either wher e did u get it

  • awesomly awesome i ♥ it it is like so awesome i♥it anyone who does not have it should get it it roxs dude =)

  • Why was canceled???

  • I dont know why i-mate decided to cancel this phone; it has a nice display, decent specifications, however, with an upgrade to the camera, probably to a 5MP with VGA video recording @ 30fps (mpeg4 not 3gp), I think, this would have been one of the best WinMo phones to have hit the market. Unfortunately it got cancelled. I'm hopeful we will see something similar from i-mate in the near future.

  • what is this? a tiny laptop? they shouldn't have called it a cellphone if it looked like this. haha. but it's cool.

  • It was such a beautiful phone with a lot of features. Dont know y imate cancelled it ? They are launching the cheap looking, ugly third class phones instead of this beeautiful one. IT MUST BE LAUNCHED. I VOTE FOR IT............

  • I think it would be so much better if they should post a price besides posting alone the specifications of the phone.

  • man, such a sweet phone, we should lobby for it to be produced

  • I think this phone has been released in comparison to HTC's TyTN II. My dad has the TyTNII its really cool and looking at the features they are pretty much the same.

  • i think it is really cool causei've always wanted to have on of these i-mate phones but the only thing i dont like about this is that there is no price so now i cant bye it but i still want it from i-mate lover

  • nice one, but its rather too big to be a mobile

  • 7150 is what I anxiously have been waiting for for years. And despite its camera, it's the best one that matches almost all my needs. I really wonder why the company has canceled it? Is that because of some imperfection? If someone has any idea, please let me know.

  • 7150 is what I anxiously have been waiting for for years. And despite its camera, it's the best one that matches my needs. I really wonder why the company have canceled it? Is that because of some imperfection? If someone has an idea, please let me know.

  • nice design but i dont like windows mobiles. it irritates me alot...!:S

  • Really bad new. i-mate really disappointed serious buyers especially those who put pre-orders in different sites.

  • Correction, the Dubai based company itself will remain in business, but are having difficulty with their US distribution system and did indeed shut down their Washington state home office and virtually all employees are gone. Since there is no US distribution I guess it will be more difficult to get US compatible products and support, but not really impossible.

  • I-mate has apparently laid off most of their work force and are going out of business. Don't sit around waiting for anything further from them, and pray you don't need manufacturer support for existing products.

  • Why did i-mate canceled this very nice phone :-(

  • i think it is a cool phone and is very sleek and sexy i would love to see it in pure white

  • i just find out that this handset is not comming in the market.its a bad news, iwas also waiting for this handset,for long time, isuggest company should assemble the handset so we can enjoy this handset thanx

  • Sexy...Can i get it for free.

  • Except for Ultimate 7150 and 9150, all other models in this series look like 90's. They are powerful but no businessman would enjoy carring bricks. I will suspect we will have to wait for the next HTC models...

  • i think this is the best ever made.wonder when its coming out

  • Bad news...I-mate has removed 7150 from their Ultimate series...Now there is no sign of this phone on their website as well... Bad News Indeed...I was also waiting for this phone because of its design, screen and specs... GSMArena guys, please mark this phone as cancelled. Thanks.

  • Hi Guys, i have a bad news, few months ago i preordered uluomate 7150 from expansys. today i recieved an email from expansys saying that imate has cancelled ultimate 7150, and therefore they send me notice of the cancellation of my order. well finally the myth of long waited 7150 is over. i have a imate jasjar phone which is working perfectly. it is almost similiar to 7150 in shape and specs. the only reason i wanted to get 7150 was that my jasjar doesnt have fm radio and tv out. well thats sad

  • I think this phone is just a gossip.

  • can't wait to get this pda. hope i-mate will bring it very soon to market, because I'm waiting since its announce ONE YEAR AGO!!! this is the best design for a pda to be REALLY useful, and it has all the feature to be the htc omni n.1 rival. A standard SD slot and battery compatible with universal would make this design perfect!

  • sexy!!!

  • I cant wait for this awesome phone! It is basically just a laptop in a smaller, sleeker package. Am I right?

  • Does have anyone have hands on experience of this Device. Some One Pls guide to me a Review on this Device by some expert. Thanks & Regards.

  • This PDA doesn't support GPS & the camera is just 2MP. Guys just compare it with O2 XDA Orbit 2 AKA HTC Touch Cruise.

  • I heard that the Phone is unofficially released in some parts. I think it's high time to release it now. Thanks.

  • Any other stores actually have it? That link refers to a 8150, NOT a 7150!!!

  • I don't know why this website mentioned this phone as cancelled. It is available in middle east area. I myself saw it in a shop in Saudi Arabia for around 855 dollars. It is avaiable in black color. Check out this website:

  • THIS PHONE WAS CANCELED. and never coming out....=-( The next best thing is i-mate Ultimate 9502.

  • Why are they anoncing phones and then are not releasing it?

  • Guys, the i-mate Ultimate 7150 is the real ultimate i think everyone should go for. I love it not just for the looking alone but for its foctions.THANKS

  • will this fone ever be made or has it canceled;(

  • Don't lay awake at night for the 5150, 7150 and 9150. It's the 6150 and 8150 that soon will be out. The 3 other from the Ultimate range is put on hold, and 8502 and 9502 is added. All these are very good! But, if you want a device in short time its 6150 or 8150 that counts.

  • Hi everybody, on www.pdadb.net the next release date is december but it's delayed each month. For people wanting to post some suggestions for the tech guys from i-mate please use their brand new forum at : or [email protected] P.S. The entire forum is monitorized by i-mate guys

  • I'm in love with this phone I currently have the XDA EXEC O2 and I was very fond of that phone until I ran across this one. I can't wait. I'm like a little kid on Christmas Eve....Give it to me.

  • As this phone seems to be after more than 10 months of annoucement still in project, please forseen if possible � GPS with TMC support. So it'll be perfect. Does you foreseen also a model without keyboard ??? Thanks for your understanding and nive implementation of this model.

  • Please i-mate don't drop this phone! It is relatively small, featurfull, and well designed. I have been waiting for this marvel since announcement.

  • I have just consulted in the club imate and I found a page for the 7150. I have not seen any bad news about a delay in the release of this great device. I have to buy a smartphone for business. I have only three devices in my list: - Ultimate 7150 - HTC Omni - Nokia E90 Regards.

  • are you guys serious? they're not making this? Finally a good smartphone with wifi, 256k coulour touchscreen and quad band. I was also really wanting to buy this phone

  • Well it is pity because this is the best phone i have ever seen.

  • Seems that the Ultimate 7150 is finally dead as it has been removed from the imate website. It's a shame because of the large screen. Hopefully imate will announce an updated version shortly with a large touch screen but without the added weight of a keyboard.

  • The delay to this phone is going to prove a real problem for imate. What started as a fantastic spec is beginning to lose ground against other newer model like the LG Viewty, iPhone etc. Sorry imate but I am now looking elsewhere!

  • Does it have autofocus because it is written here that it has:

  • I spoke to I-mate support person two weeks ago - they confirmed the 7150 wil not be released to market until Feb 2008 - bad move releasing so late. they had better put in a GPS cpu.

  • How do you copy/merge all contacts onto external memory card without having to duplicate them firs. Tried everything so far going nowhere slowly.Can anybody be of assistance pls.............. Mail me with your advice/solution Thanx

  • No GPS !!! :-(

  • I received the following email from imate on Sept. 12. Thank you for contacting Club i-mateTM Technical Support. Regarding your query, Please be informed that Ultimate 7150 is in testing and design stage. Please keep a regular check on our website site www.clubimate.com for further news and updates on the releasing date and the availability in the market. Best regards, Technical Support - i-mate�

  • Dont know why you say cancelled - Its listed with Mobile Planet and still shown on iMate website...

  • Looks like Bulverde and not cancelled. ;)

  • G5jg may be correct. I-mate may have cancelled the phone. If one peruses this site there is no mention of 7150 Ultimate although 6150 and 8150 are detailed. I tried the search function but it came to no avail. Furthermore i-mate have altered specs for the series. The colour palette is now only 65K and the processor has been changed from IntelBulverde to XScale.

  • does anyone know if i can hold this up to my head and talk like a normal phone? or is it via bluetooth only like the HTC Advantage? I use my bluetooth religiously but sometimes another person needs to use the phone and i dont like sharing my in ear bluetooth device.. eww.

  • this phone has been canceled...so no release date sry. check google

  • right now am using nokia-9500,i want to go for i-mate,since from last two months am waiting for ultimate7150.please can u let me know the relese date?bcoz still date is not confirmed i will go for nokia e90.i never used imate but i heard that ultimate is really ultimate. waiting for yr reply.

  • Yes, I can believe that I-mate divorced HTC probably on the groundsof irreconcilable differences!! I-mate decided to be adventurous and stretch the technical boundaries whilst HTC resolved to be conservative. One has only to peruse HTC'S TyTN II to see the dramatic dichotomy. I-mate implements more colour depth: 262K vs 65K. I-mate offers vivid VGA screens even on the 2.6 inch screen 8150 Ultimate. There is no HTC phone which has a three inch or less screen that has VGA res. XGA video out and FM radio are welcome additions on the I-mate. Too many of HTC'S products lack these features. Furthermore the I-mate has a faster and superior processor.

  • HTC used to produce i-mate, qtek, 02 (and more) but just recently i-mate left HTC. after leaving HTC, i-mate started producing a new series they called ultimate. Want proof? look at old i-mate devices and compare them to old HTC devices. They are the SAME.

  • OK to clarify, HTC does not produce this product. Another company does, Since HTC has started producing its own brand and selling them directly to the market without any branding (re: Imate). Imate has been forced to look for other Original Developer Manufacturer.(ODM's) ie Quanta etc. It also explains why the IMATE Ultimate series is so designwise so different to HTC's other products.

  • Is it true that HTC are the makers of i-mate?? If they are then it is obvious why the i-mate Ultimate series has not been released yet. HTC do not want competition with HTC TyTN, Shift and Advantage models. They want to test the market with these models before bringing out the "cavalry" ie the all powerful i-mate. The Ultimate series are still mouth watering because you receive lovely VGA resolution in relatively small screens. This is coupled to a fast reliable processor. I believe that this phone has a better spec than HTC TyTN II and I would rather have the 7150 any day!!

  • still they need to improve in this phone is Edge class like 296kbps, because most people will use this as substitute of laptop while travelling & 3G & HSDPA are not in many countries but edge in many countries. Now Nokia & Samsung are giving 296kbps slot in expensive models so if they want to give complete phone than must give 2.5G.

  • i hope that this imate phone will not going to have so much problems like the imate phones that has been released before. it has a very nice feature you can use but a little bit bulky.

  • its is al a tease...talk d talk, forgot to walk

  • a computer !??!

  • hahaha it's your lost i-mate. I already bought another brand pda phone, because this way too long. you better hope I'm the only one customer you already lost.

  • Is there even a point to releasing this phone now? Compared to the TyTN II this phone looks like an antique, the rest of the mobile community has moved up to finger touch based phones with 3MP cameras while this one is still stuck in the past.

  • As we all agree why all this delay??? as proffecionals I-mate website is still announcing mid of 2007 we are in end of August!!! and no dealer knows anything about this phone whats going on!!!!? I think I-mate people should be more hounest in relaeasing any announcement if they do not commet to it, its not fair for all the i-mate lovers

  • The web site has changed its message to day: The release date is now set to Oct. 2007, and there is no information about that the 7150 will be cancelled. Hopefully the former info was just a misleading rumor.

  • I need a stronger baterry! 1400m is too weak with what I'm expecting for! ultimate 7150 is a wonderful pda model! but still can't fix power problem!!!

  • says now that the Ultimate 7150 is cancelled! Is this true?!

  • Waiting Waiting & Still Waiting For this Ultimate Series to be Launched

  • The somewhat extended size of the Ultimate 7150 is JUST one of the reasons why I would prefer it. The E90 has been too small, especially the keyboard. The size is about comparable to a Nintendo DS, and IMO there is NO PROBLEM of using this as a phone up to the ear. This is simply a beauty in design and size!

  • Portability, portability, portability!! At 110mm in length and 74mm in diameter, when making calls it will resemble holding a loaf of bread to your ear!! The 74mm diameter makes this phone fat and highlights a design fault. If they had made the phone widescreen with an image aspect ratio of 16:9 (with wide-VGA res ie 800*480 pixels) the diameter would have been smaller than 74mm thereby making the phone easier to hold in the hand. Instead I-mate have given us a 4:3 ratio with VGA res. I am really hoping that the keyboard will be tactile and responsive because I do alot of fast typing on the phone and I have found T9 to be too slow and inaccurate. Windows mobile have to move up to 16M colour screens to take full advantage of the new crop of high res phones. 18 bit 262144 screens makes high demands on the processor and battery but is only marginally better than 65556 colour screens. WM may as well find a way to increase processor speed and attain 24 bit 16M colour screens.

  • Look at this part of a mail response from I-Mate Technical Support today: [...] Thank you for contacting Club i-mate(tm) Technical Support. As per your query, be informed that there is no exact date for release of i-mate Ultimate Range but I can give you a rough estimate. i-mate Ultimate 5150 and i-mate Ultimate 9150: Early 2008 i-mate Ultimate 6150, i-mate Ultimate 7150 and i-mate Ultimate 8150: This September. [...]

  • Last prevision on www.pdadb.net september 200 and 7 thus this year ;-) Hope it'll be the last update. I hope also that people from I-Mate are also reading this lines...

  • I love i-mate phones. currently am uisng K-Jam , but really looking forward to buy this ultimate 7150, but when is it going to realese.. by the way need opinions about what to buy if you have choice between Apple i-phone and i-maye ultimate 7150.. rgds

  • Why isn't it yet released 6 months after the announcement?. is it true that it will only be available in the US market locked to a certain network ? in a recent visit to Dubai, mobile shops seem like never heard about it nor any other Ultimate

  • can't wait to get my hands on one of those!!

  • it's look very nice and attractive

  • I would like to know when this phone will be available... I am using a Qtek900 (JasJar if branded I-mate) and in my opinion is fantastic. Using already 2 years. Upgraded now with WM6 that is including a Terminal Service application much much better than before; I am using a lot and it seems like to use a very small laptop now... Really... Will be 7150 able to include in its screen full view like JasJar is doing on terminal server session? Thanks for info

  • isnt 7150 supposes to release in sept 2007?

  • i AM waiting for this cutie

  • This is wayy too long. no release that whatsoever. I'm getting another phone :(

  • i am using imate jasjar and it is very nice phoone

  • I have the JasJar, and love it! (Apart from the phone side of it, which occasionally elts it down)> Cant wait to get my hands on the Ultimate. I talked 5 friends into getting the JasJar... does anyone think I qualify for a free Ultimate 7150?! And will it be available in UK on Orange contract?

  • I am very impressed with the overall features and especially the gold color. Would like to play with one of those babies right now!

  • its nice but is it can work with iridium satllite?

  • I'm a lover of both smartphones and PDA. Before I bought my first PDA, which was xda IIs, I spent alot of thinking wondering if PDA has as many cool applications as smartphone has. Yes man, there ton of cool apps out there for PDA. it's just like many apps for PC

  • Negri Electronics is offering for $985.50; says 7150 will be available at end of July, 2007.

  • is this fone black berry enabled are there any imate sets that are blackberry enabled

  • hi can ne1 help me abt the performances of these phones. I've got SE P990 but am thinking of getting one of these. does WM6 have more 3rd party appl and is it backwards compatible? everything seems good except the camera. nowadays such phones should include flash and AF also 30 fps video records. I think its the only drawback. Its true that one can have a pro cam for less but having a decent cam in ur pocket pc is much better atleast they can give good results in day light. Take P990 for eg it has a reasonably good cam n thats y I keep it. U can carry ur phone with u all the time but will u specially take ur cybershot every where with u? Howz it as a music phone. plz do reply. tks in advance.

  • will htis be able to run on the USA t mobile carrier?

  • Someone mentioned it being expensive. I haven't heard anything on a guess prices...so if someone know a serious guess on price please provide it. If anyone has a good guess on when it'll eventually come out that'd be cool to since the best I've heard now is early next month but it isn't a guarantee.

  • Hey Imate techs, why are you using a propritary audio jack ???????????????????? the 2.5 or 3.5 common jack isn't good enough? Are you looking for convergence or divergence with other peripherals ??

  • wow nice phone but its really big.....its just a mini me of a laptop

  • cumon imate plz show some creativity where iz GPS in ur new model i love imate phones but i thought this time its gona rock but i am reall disapointed, its batter if i go for nokia N95 then waiting 4 ur new model that has GPS nokia got everythin with 5mgp cam and GPS which iz cool, get something best out of ur tech lab guys.....

  • 1. Which kind of Bluetooth 2.0 is it using Broadcomm of Microsoft ? Which kind of Bluetooth is usign commonly in Imates ? 2. Is it possible when the screen is rotated on the kayboard to answer a call ? and to put in portrait mode ? Thanks and good development

  • You'll wait the X800 that have the GPS but with a ridiculous screen of 2,8". I'think that the perfect PDA doesn't exist yet. We'll be still waiting for a long time before "the real thing" with full convergence will be sold. Till there the PDA manufacturers won't listen too much to their customers as long as they'll buy their stuff each one/two years. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward for this nice machine that answers to 75% of my needs. Hopping it'll be also sold with a french OS and perhaps with GPS/TMC inside.

  • Yeap, keep living the dream! When is cheap good and when is not? This very expensive tool most be fully utilitarian, for the price, a gps should have been included. Cute it is. Professional,...well. How do i get to a location a need fully independed despite the poor performance of its cellular capabilities in certain "remote" places?

  • its really looks ultimate

  • if they think they wil keep GPS 4 the next genration, that wil be cheep thinking.and i dont know why it was announsed moor than 5 monthes ahed.Whats your point I MATE? id rather wait 4 the Eten X800. it have every thing.

  • Perfect More pictures would be nice tough

  • Absolutly awesome. The only thing though is it doesn't have GPS. I would definately purchase one except I think I will wait for it or some other device to come with a built in GPS as well. Very sad that this didn't come with it. Still, a great potential product.

  • I was very disappointed by Jasjar: which has never worked properly and that recently, after one and half year use, experienced serious problems, making sudden and imprdictable reboot. Another very irritsting feature is that I-mate web page was set as default web page and you were not allowed to chose another one. I hope this will be fixed with Ultimate.

  • Whether it's a prelude, interlude or even postlude I-mate should give the public what the public wants and that is clearly GPS in convergence devices. Note that the 7150 is no longer just a PDA. It is a convergence device otherwise why did they bother placing a camcorder and stills camera in it. Even these inclusions are not up to contemporary spec. If I-mate want to sell their phones in commercial quantities they should meditate on what is current. The N95 is selling staggeringly well.

  • Clearly if Imate does not include a gps into this phone is bcause this ultimate model is the prelude to the next generation of ultimate PDA-pocketPC-Phone with GPS.

  • Any manufacturer of high-end phones excluding GPS better think twice. Look at the N95 user opinions forum: over 300 pages. The inclusion of GPS in that phone has generated so many sales.

  • Does it hv ne External Display..??..N whn u guys gonna launch this phone...??.Eagerly waitin to see it into my hands...

  • its a pretty neat phone...looks to be sleek n all but what abt the calls how r v gonna answer calls when v r usin the phone pretty odd to hold it... the screen could be a little to the edges for a wider screen experience... bottom line neat phone...

  • does it have the usual pocket msn....i am more interested in knowing if it has msn messenger, goona buy it sure if it has one....i am more than satisfied with the performance of my imate jasjar...can someone please tell me...thanks

  • pfft $1600

  • From the photograph it seems that the screen has 4:3 dimensions as opposed to the widescreen of Nokia's E-90. I think i-mate should stay current and put a minimum of 3MP on the camera and certainly glorious VGA(30fps) video recording. We take our phones everywhere and so we need to be able to take reasonable photos of printable quality. Of course a true camera is better but you don't take it everywhere. I will be buying this phone because I want to have an intimate experience with WM6. I will also buy Nokia's E90 to experience the improvements in s60.

  • Hope 3MP Camera & GPS will be included at the time of final release.

  • very nice looking phone . . .charimatic

  • This is pure mini laptop, superb in its class, but it is not a phone. Anyone buying this must know he will still need another phone for general use, as far as SMS and thing like that, it may be possible to use a Bluetooth fro phone calls while this device si in the bas somewhere near, but get real the battery on Window mobile won't even live for a whole day. So this is a mini laptop/PDA, if you want mini laptop/PDA/phone/camera/GPS/MP3player/ go for nokia E90.

  • is there any one who can tell me the price of this sexy device and also one thing more is this device has one display or two display.

  • for god sick you put it all put some radio what's the big deal

  • What is the device weight, likely price and likely date of release (If it is ever going to be released, that is)?

  • some people opt of a larger screen for readability combined with ease of use. would anyone disagree if i say 99.99% of pda users prefer portrait orientation rather landscape? you switch to landscape, most likely, by default only when playing a game. with 110mm x 74mm flip top screen it doesn't seem handy using the wide vga portrait screen, i mean you always have to flip open the cover to avail of the wide vga screen. on portrait orientation the keyboard becomes unhandy, almost useless. with landscape screen and the keyboard always open i bet anyone would struggle using the stylus while holding the device safe on his palm. nice if you are always on a table nearby, great for showing off, while on a meeting with your CEO, but most of mobile users are always on the go, hardly know of anyone carrying along a small table to use with his expensive device.

  • Bummer, I need a CF-slot. Is it able to go USB Host as the SoMo 650?

  • i cant agree with you guys that all camera phones are just toys. i had a sony ericson cyber shot that was recently robbed and its camera was superb i think what made it was the flash. the samsung d600 is pathetic

  • great but i will buy this if gps is added to it.

  • It's really very decent and useful. I will change my NOKIA 9300i to it. I will 100% buy it. E-mail: [email protected]

  • yah I totally agree , Cameras in cell phones are just toys. Even the N95's 5 mega pix, is no where close to real 5 mpix camera, even a real camera with 2 mpix gives you a very super pic quality... but the camera in N95 is just so pathetic! Grow up people! if you want to really capture those special moments and cherish them, then go and buy a "real" camera, even the 2 mpix will do just fine.

  • it looks like a sony clie UX50 PDA... nice hybrid phone imate!

  • Why are people so caught up with the cameras on phones these days? I'm sick of reading "only 2MP" as the first comment after every review. Honestly WHO CARES?! I have a CAMERA to take pictures. Phone cameras are toys and will be for a long time, even the 5MP camera in the Nokia N95 is rubbish compares to an actual 5MP camera. Honestly I'd rather this thing had no camera at all and more ROM or smaller form factor.

  • simply the best!!!!!! but only 2 mega pixel camera. :(

  • Not having GPS is not a deal breaker. A seperate GPS receiver with bluetooth is pretty cheap. And I would only really need GPS while driving, so the receiver can stay in the car so as to not to add to my walk-around load. As for the Ultimate line not being real, where does that come from. Even if the photos are of mock-ups, that doesn't mean i-mate is perpetuating a hoax. Mock-ups are very common when the real hardware is being developed. Gives potential users an idea of what the outside is going to look like.

  • GPS GPS GPS and you got it made

  • Hi Good morning to everybody, I wann to know somthing about it can I use this mobile to load my sofware which can provide me online treding facilities. if any one having ans and experience with windos mobiles 6.0 or 5.0. so that I can move forward to purchase it.

  • well done?imate i like how's look cool well! soon i will sell my orbit o2 i can't wait!

  • it's bad .... why no GPS included, this will effect it's market, many peoble are looking for devices with GPS, I give myreal advice to I-mate to add GPS, and do think why JASJAR was failed in the market....? the price, wight, no special features except keyboard.

  • If it is not real, why do they have it on pre order>?

  • Very nice

  • Note: The display size is 3.8" not 3.5" as per the clup i-mate site

  • I found it very usefull for business men but I think the screen should be larger and the camera is not good

  • ;)

  • Go there for other views of the phone. Looks pretty good but i can't see any answer buttons on the front of the phone. Does tnat mean you need to open it for phone calls????

  • Very nice processor with RAM and ROM on a good memory size. Also nice looking design only I would like to ask can this pda twisted the display like imate jasjar. I'm now using the imate jasjam.

  • I've already seen the fake photos at www.clubimate.com/ultimate. But no one has ever seen this device first hand. Michal

  • Sure ill buy it,lil bit camera not enought but..perfect..!!!

  • Folks, I've got bad news for you: i-Mate 7150 doesn't exist. I've been researching this device on the internet for quite a long time and I haven't found a single review where the reviewer would have a working i-Mate 7150 in his hands. It's easy to make a non-functional model. Notice that the i-Mate 7150 photos are always showing the time on the device as "11:13". That means that the device is displaying just a static bitmap. What are we looking at is actually a very good joke of someone (iMate). I think that iMate made this device up to make its "stock" more valuable at the moment. What puzzles me is that so many sites have adopted this joke as a real thing. Michal michal.kreslik(at)kreslik.com

  • Can or will this phone have Blackberry connectivity

  • What about the gross weight?

  • i like the phone a lot, cant wait until it comes out, hopefully it comes out with cingular so i can change the pocket pc i have right now, Yadiiggg.

  • A sexy phone. Is one of the two, that I would love to have, other being E90. They both look beautiful machines....

  • Corrections for GSMArena.com guys....This is related to main display screen.. This machine has 3.8 inchs screen with 262K colors... Yours specification says something else...please correct...for more info check the following site:

  • very cool , ihope that i will owner it soon

  • So sexy, beautifull, bunch of features, I call it for reall MiniTapletPocketPC, but price hope everyone who loves it can afford!!!!

  • No Comment at all it's Wonderful but the price ??????????

  • There are no perfect phones. Nokia E90 is good but no touch screen, people don't know how useful touch screen to some people(take quick notes, draw ideas). 7150 is a little big and no GPS. Maybe I will wait for Asus P526.

  • That is a good phone but it may be cost more then a phone. but i want a piz. lookis like a laptop.

  • Wo Ho... The weight part is still under consideration, but overall... wow

  • "very nice desingn but it will be complete with a gps or a tv tuner" ya and for its crazy price it should even come wit 5.1 surround sound and a subwoofer in the back

  • @Afraz khawajgi , I would say the O2 XDA Zinc is a pretty good competitor for this. I wanted one of these, but have since changed to the XDA.

  • Does anybody know whether the MTC is manufacturing the imate ultimate series phones ?

  • This phone is the most elegant cell phone in telco industry , great Going imate, i also want to see that what the other competetors (O2, Qtek) are planing to compete this with .

  • why do imate uses costly windows OS... which results in costly phone... they should use open source... symbian or linux os....

  • very nice desingn but it will be complete with a gps or a tv tuner,

  • this one is awsome! it has everything that you need. can a labtop make a phone call or take pictures? laptop this small will cost around 2K. I am difinately will buy one! anyone know when is they release it??????????

  • 2 MP camera should have been higher. How is it going to compete with other phones that come with cameras of 5 MP or 7 MP?

  • very good phone i liked it

  • u can buy a freakin laptop that can do everythin for u in this price why wudja eva buy such a phone

  • all that screen and full keyboard and it use OS windows mobile smartphone!!!!!
