i-mate Ultimate 9150

reza

any one can say to me that where i can find this phone?

tatz

I think that it will be release together with the 7150 and 5150 because they have similarities in terms of physical appearance.. I hope so, they still release this phone

That is insane resolution for a 2.6" screen. Looks quite bulky though if you look at the wasted space around the screen.

leemon

when this company will come on to Bangladesh.I want to buy this Brand mobile phone.Its really nice I think.

jD

Useless company!! you should have just increased the camera quality and brought out the phone! because it haz amazing looks instead of cancelling it!! please take my comment seriously!

Alluz

This is a very very confortable imate. But i dont know that he funcionally whit MP# and GPS aplicattion... Or not?

taz

I would buy this, if they would just make it! A flip with a numeric keypad with all the other features is perfect!

sean

Come on Imate, you need to put this phone to the market. I have the Smartflip and would jump to this phone in heart beat.

lexy

Most devices of this kind now have built-in GPS reciever, so this one stands out of the market i guess. Otherwise it wouldn't look good if settled in a car as a GPS screen, except if only there would be some special tool that make it look good. I'm still looking towards a flip-flop smartphone with wi-fi for skype and sip telephony.

tymcat

Sob! sob! Many Trekkies would have loved it. With these specs and the really well done design, it would have coped with the HTC Diamond. Despite the probably awkward usage of the touch screen (you would need 3 hands) I could see potential to win many fans. Probably the not-so-good idea of fiddling on a small screen above the holding hand and stress on the joint made them cancel it. Had they only made the joint twistable, like the last Sony PDAs... But I would have bought it anyway.

I dont. andersted way canceld

hi all , no clue y this awesome looking phone has been cancelled features n looks n gr8 to grab 1. cheers shaaleen

If it has been truely CANCELLED As posted by most reputable sites, I think thery need to take it completely off their sites. Its the one phone I really see that I would buy, so as long as they keep it I will hold out hope. If there is no hope it will be coming out, PLEASE REMOVE FROM YOUR SITE.

Harlekkin

No official news that it has been cancelled, however it is not listed on their new re-designed website (only the old one). I CANNOT find an FCC approval for it, so unless someone has some solid proof I will regard it as cancelled.

DP

Has it really been discontinued, that rumor has been spread before, do you have a link?

Anonymous

this phone has been discontinued..knew it was too good to be true.

faaiz

So far so good, seems this what I was looking 4� Few Q !!! why only 1 picture?? I goole & yahoo a lot can�t find any more pictures; I would like to see how it look while it�s flipped. Next wht about body if it matches Motorola then sure it will be real Ultimate.. if any1 can give any idea about price !!! wht would be the price out there ???

VIP

WOW, This is a great phone. Just one question. Does anyone know if this phone has the capabilities of using GPS(of any kind)? If so, how? Can't wait to hear a suggestion to an appearent lack of GPS. VIP

A neat looking flip with 2 displays (main display 640x480! wow!) wifi...even infrared. I'll definitely get this!!

i will keep waiting for this GREAT phone

I-MATE Confirms the approval of the FCC

harlekkin

When was the FCC approval granted? I couldn't find anything on their website...

Xmas

This phone has been approved to be released on Early 2008 ,Feb as i-mate and FCC announce that lately

harlekkin

Apparently i-mate WILL release this phone - but the FCC has NOT approved it yet. So I'm wondering if they can keep the "Early 2008" (Whatever that means). If it ever DOES come out it sure as earth will be mine.

i WILL buy this phone

nice phone. it's either this or the n93i. tough call. it's too bad nokia has stopped making flip phones lately

seno

This phone not cancelled but it will released on EARLY 2008 ,

GrapeApe

DAMN !!1!!!1!! I finally find the perfect replacement for my Kyocera 7135 smartflip, and then they cancel this D'oh!! I had a Treo, didn't like, UTStarcomm 6700, and Pantech 8200 and they both fell short. Currently looking to dump the Pantech and get something new, thought I'd found it. If anyone makes one of these as spec'ed out here I'd pay $1,000 US without blinking, heck even $1,000 CAD. >B~)

Adding too many features too small package - either you chance features or package or cancel.

Every thing in this phone is good, but I dont't like the outward

the phone is not cancelled! it will be on the market at the beginning of 2008 instead of july 2007!

V.L.

How dare i-mate to cancel the phone?Peaople were voting for it and giving quite good score and i-mate screwed it all.I waited for it for couple months!I prefered that phone rather than iPhone,but now i think i have to buy iPhone,shame on i-mate!:(

Hammod

It is an incredible device. As I checked with i-mate, they informed me that the device has not been canceled but it has been delayed for some time and it would be released on early 2008. That is posted on their website as per the link provided by Chicco. I think this delay is caused just to ensure that the device will be released without bugs and stuff. It will be the device of 2008. Am sure about what am saying. Wait to see that..

Roger

Absolutely unprofessional of Imate to cancel the phone. The brand suffers a devastating blow on image and reliability. Might as well just cancel the entire ultimate lineup because one never knows if Imate will be around.

Seif Hafez

how could you simply cancell this phone. how could you do this to consumers. i waited for this phone since it was last announced back on febraury. and now you are saying cacelled. i knew it was too good to be true. that is not good for imate at all. look at the rating this phone got. 8.5 and more. i know a lot of people who refrained from getting anyother phone to buy this one. and you finally cancell it. that is not good at all. by all means.. it is a negative reputation for imate..

Chicco

Well from the Specs i can assure you that it is a great phone. in contrast to what is posted and as stated on i-mate website ­ phone is not cancelled but delayed and shall be coming to the market by Early 2008. From my own perspective i would still wait to buy this phone as i am sure it would be great and would meet my expectations!!

saeb

this phone is cancelled ...its not gonna come out anymore why?!?!?!...i wanted to buy it

Fred

Is it possible to install some sort of GPS software on a phone like this? If there is, this is my dreamphone :)

Anonymous

Many of you cannot seem to understand the revolution. PDAs and smartphones are multimedia devices. If you call yourself "ultimate" and then place substandard camcording and stills photography you may as well not bother placing them in the device. Nobody is asking them to perform as well as dedicated equipment; but standards have to be adhered to. Business and pleasure go hand in hand. If you can't relax, you can't work. People want business and pleasure on the SAME device. The businessman will only get irritated when he pauses to relax and has to settle for lousy videos and stills when companies such as Nokia have proved time without number that you can have it all. I commend I-mate on the business side of the phone but the pleasurable side has to meet contemporary standards.

i hav been using a no2 atom exec i exchanged my phone with a cozin of myn who has a n95 the phone was sad big tym!!! after usin a pda like my o2 using a nokia is really uncomfertable as they are really bulky full of errors and software problems...... i had bought a 8800 sirrocco for my dad thinking that ths must be one phone with no software problems at all but this phoe which is not supposed to have anything in it which is just a simple phone for calling and messaging had problems in it..... how can nokia be soo sad this just prooves tht using a pda is any day better than using a NOKIA

starscream

I can't wait to get my hands on this SUPER PHONE! Wow - the processor, Wi-FI, A2DP, and HSDPA capabilities make this a very impressive phone! I am also a MAC ADDICT, and I am sad to see that the i-phone has NO 3G!!!! This phone has saved the day for me! Does anyone have any idea when it will be avilable to buy on the web or US?

Anonymous

2nd to latest opinion is utterly false. Irrelevent information. i-mate continues to bring you top quality phones that'll bring smiles.

Emeka

What's with all the flimsy criticism. This is a phone or better yet a smart phone. Those that think it's not a smart phone should look up the meaning of smart phones. You can type and edit in Microsoft word, excel, office, view power point, get online using hot spots via the installed WiFi, blue tooth capability that supports A2DP, stylish touch screen (I still love my Motorola A780),use the phone on ANY network ALL over the world,Instant messaging features, VPN connectivity, the list goes on and on. I've also read the comments about the camera being below 3mp. Are you freaking kidding me... if you want a damn digital camera, then get one. The sole purpose of a phone is to make and receive PHONE calls. All the added features are for convenience and not a way to rate the quality of the hardware. i-mate has always produced quality hardware and their decision to pack this series with tremendous software is applaudable. This series can only be compared to Nokia's N-series and not the iphone as some of you have been doing (by the way, I'm a Mac fan so don't trip). I sincerely feel this phone is exactly what the name implies... THE ULTIMATE!!!!

Anonymous

I-mate are trying to compete as a convergence device. The company should realise that the minimum standard for high-end phones is 3MP. Why? Because this produces printable photos of reasonable standard. Secondly, the only phone video worth recording is VGA at 30fps. Yet again, i-mate is substandard. Why bother putting yesterdays technology on a today phone?? I'm going for Nokia's E90.

ANSPlus

About comparing this ultimate imate with nokia, we're talking here about a PDA Vs Normal cell phone. am using imate kjam since 2 years, when i got a chance to deal with nokia i feel uncofortable, because of its so limited capability comparing to imate. and this is the powerful of the PDA, you can do anything you want easily. and about the camera, if someone want to take a good resolution pictures, he won't use a phone, he'll use a digital camera with better functionality that any phone.

doodle

this is the phone i have been dreaming of all my life.i guess...im still sleeping. features are fantastic and much much better then any palmtop ive had

sidhu

can n e body pls tell me does this phone support blackberry function?

murat

Please check this web sites...and search ultimate eyebright... two different type this phone. one of them is eyebright,the other is ultimate 9150... same model,but different face...

Grego

I think I may have just found the right fone:)! I never liked PDA type phones because they looked akward, and now with the rapidly expanding coverage of Wi-Fi in my city I need to get a phone with wireless connectivity. As with many new users of products I am sceptical about early claims. A 1400amh battery? Unlikely. Are i-Mates as easy to use as normal phones (I am using a Siemens now), with paticular reference to WM Pro 6, and in terms of actual phone performance... how does it rate to other smart devices?

zeshan

just awesome as it seen.cant guess its size.hope so realeased soon.waiting anxiously bye

Around June-July 2007 according to their website...

Nokia N95 is better as a phone, but sometimes it's hard to pass on the superior hardware, like i-mate Ultimate series or the latest Eten models... :) I wish one of these manufacturers released a phone with S60 instead of WM6 (Windows is still Windows, be it a mobile or not...) On the other hand, i-mate will make this phone available in just about any form factor possible, so everyone can pick the one they like... Now, if they just included GPS receiver, this would be the best PDA/phone out there... But hey, you can't have everything... :)

DnokiaD

you cant compare imate with nokia because i have used both of them when it comes to reliability nokia is far better.people buy imate just to showoff that it has got touchscreen.where as nokia has got better cam,user friendly interface accesseries are easily available and imate keypads sucks.

Anonymous

WM6 has a full office mobile suite.Playback options are in powerpoint.WM6 is what WM5 should have been!GREAT.

poul

well ultimate series totaly beat N95, well it does not matter the this one does not have 5mpix camera but who cares then you have such design ant features? This is tru ultimate

D.C

What Chiron has said I agree with. This phone will deffinitely come with Pocket Word, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint etc, just as Windows Mobile 5 has. Microsoft have even improved these applications on Windows Mobile 6 so it should be even better. As for File Explorer, its just a file browser like Windows File Explorer on your PC. This phone looks damn good. I generally dislike flip phones but I'm gona get this one hopefully when it comes out.

chiron

As it has a Windows Mobile 6 Professional operating system which comes with Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint (PowePoint viewer only), office shouldn't be a problem. Filemanager means Windows Mobile File explorer.

antonio

yeah,is true, we cant see if it can handle office documents. i think where it says - File manager that means that can handle office files. well, i think so! :) if someone knows something about it, please let us know. I definetly going to get this phone, is great. i cant wait until it come out!.

Harrie

Looks great. Just don't see in the spects wether it can handle office documents, word and exel and outlook. Thanks

Anonymous

This phone is the best. I wander how it is having a computer like this in your pocket.

Oliver Tual

This is hopefully going to be my next phone. I've had an imate jam for 2 years now and I love the flip AND Touchscreen. I just hope it doesn't take too long to come out in Australia :-)

zeeshan

This is a very cool cell ph because of this shape, size is a bit bigger but out standing colour and very elligant look.. at last i must say that i am crazy to buy this cool and sexy cell ph.............

Apurva

great package but disappointingly dull color....it could become lethal if available in black...camera not an issue for this segment!!!

Anonymous

phone looks great. people here complaining about the camera, bear in mind that this is not a camera phone such as SE k850i and others. this is a phone for the ones that need the functionality of a windows mobile phone, packed with impressive features, in a cool clamshell device. no phone is yet able to replace i decent digital camera, and N95 wont do it either. cheers!

Naveen

as per specifications this phone should be quite good than imate jamin which i am useing right now. does this model has - jog wheel and stylus to make easy of call,browse, input applications easy ?

Max

J3ST3R; If u dont know whether it can edit document or has AD2P, dont buy WM phones.

J3ST3R

This may finally be the phone that makes me leave the Nokia N95. However, I need to know a few more in depth details. If ANYONE discovers this information, please e-mail me and let me know. Will this phone have A2DP? GPS Navigation? or document editing capabilities? Thanks!

Anonymous

i-mate Ultimate 9150, seems somewhat similar to the HTC S420? aside from GPS and USB, what else is different?

kiff

520Mhz CPU, 640 x 480 res, now how long's the battery going to last for Christ sake? 2 hours? And how they've managed to fit a 1400mAh battery into that thin body? bet you'll never see this phone released at least not with those specs/dimensions. the models shown at 3GSM Congress were just mock-ups. keep dreaming..

yayamii

I am out of my mind. Iwont to send deposit for one of these

Grolsch30 UK

Does anyone know who will make the range of imate Ultimate phones? From what i understand HTC used to make the products for imate but they have gone there seperate ways?! I have heard that a company called Quanta maybe making imate products from now on, is this true? if so anyone know about them/ are they good? I realy like the new ultimate range and hopefully they will either be A, not to expensive, B, hopefully be available on a contract basis with some mobile providers in the UK, like carphonewarehouse but i suppose thats wishfull thinking. The only gripe i have is that it does not have GPS :(! Also hope it comes out soon as I need a new device very soon.

J3ST3R

$H!T I just KNEW that I was going to get the Nokia N95. It has EVERYTHING I want. Then I find this phone. Higher resolution touchscreen, smaller, 520 MHz processor! Still advantages to the N95, though...5mp camera, GPS navigation, many more outputs... I just wonder...will this U9150 have A2DP? That may be the deciding factor.

Babak

Great phone,if you want to feel the size, compare it to N71 but slimmer but more powerfull: N71 -> 98.6 x 51.2 x 25.8 mm and 9150-> 98.0 x 50.0 x 19.0 mm.

It has Handwriting recognition and it will be then touch screen,otherwise it will not be touch screen.Read the specs carefully.

If Telstra release this phone on the NextG network, this will be the phone I will get before they close the CDMA (provided they don't bring anything better than this phone).

sekhar

hey lemme knw wether this is touch screen...

Mostafa

this is good phone but can better, for example: 2 mpix is very low for 9150 or no autofocus ! if screen rotate 180 degre will perfect or 3.5 mm headphone jack ! mini usb all.in.one is very bad idea as motorola phones ! but 9150 is good , tell me via email that how much max memory support on 9150 plz,

wow it looks really great i never had an i-mate but recently i think i need one , and i love this one a big jump for i-mate to become the worlds best seller. when will it really come?iwant to know

Excellent, Style, Business, elegant, Just cannot wait when it is going to comeout, cannot wait to lay my hands on this baby...EXCELLENT...

Chris

I tii will be buying this phone when they're avaiable. I only have one gripe. I know that they use the micro SD to keep the phone small but, come on! I will now have a 4 GB SD and 2 GB Mini SD card that will be useless for me. All I need is a way to plug in (even if it's external flash) a decent amount of memory (4,8...hell...20GB) so I can finally have a truly converged device and, give my iPod to the homeless guy at the coffee shop. :)

Anonymous

It's not a Smartphone; all touchscreens are WM6 Professional, which is the equivalent to PPC Phone Edition, not smartphone.

Seif Hafez

I can not resist not to post another comment on this phone. I just wanna say that i check imate.com website daily for the breaking news of it's release of the ultimate line. Why would anyone buy something else. Excellent synchronizaion with windows computer, bluetooth, Wifi for quick email check and web browsing at Wifi spots. 520Mhz for excellent VoIP and skype applications. Stylus with hand writing recognition. And BOOM !!!!! 256 ROM what the ..... a mini computer. Excellent Ecellent really by far. I would not know why anyone would buy anything else in the market. And waite above all it came with all those specifications to suite all tastes by fabricating all different styles. I guess this is a very smart and a tycoon move. I love you Imate...
