Ultimate 9502 user

you could try the master clear in settings/system that will reset your phone to default.... but make sure you have things backed up or your SD card removed so it doesnt delete your things....

Ultimate 9502 user

when you take the battery cover off carefully, the hole for the micros SD card is on the right, with the phone still face down, the gold bits on the card goes down (it only fits one way). your 9502 should be able to use up to 4,8 or 16 gig SD card, but you must upgrade to windows mobile 6.1 rom upgrade for the I-mate ultimate 9502.. with searching you can find it on the net called Ultimate_9502_WWE_WM6.1.zip, about 70 meg download... you must run it on your PC with your phone connected via USB to run the upgrade.

it could be that the contacts on the battery are not good. the phone will show a red light even if you don't put the battery and charge. So, clean the battery contacts on the battery and on the phone, and lift the battery contacts using a pin and it might work.

Have you put your own apps or plugins on the device? They can keep the device running and make it warm. Try factory resetting the phone in the settings menu or could be be need a new battery.

you no need instalation cd you can download actv. from internet/ www.imate.com

Steve Edmeades

Hi. You just need to install MS ActiveSync 4.5 or later. Then connect the i-mate to the PC. It will be discovered and you can then setup syncing for files, emails, calendars, etc. You should be able to see the files on the i-mate though without having to install ActiveSync. When you connect it to the PC, it should see a new device, which will be like a memory card, or hard disk. You can expand the olders and copy files to and from it.

Omar

One thing I can't forget with this phone. Me and my colleague is exchanging bad words due to a delayed project. When for some reason, I dunno that I've mistakenly send to my girfriend that bad words. Frankly with this phone I often make mistake. Maybe the type of the feature design, it's not straight forward compared to Blackberry or Nokia.

Larry

It's a friendly advise, I have bought almost all the i-mate's top-of-the-line but nothing much has change. Although looks good but the functionalities really it makes your life miserable. Please better not buy this phone. I think they have hired a cheap programmer. They don't use much of their brain. They had introduced redundant operation on the unit that becoming confusing, so that everytime you have a very urgent call, you often make mistakes. They don't know how to make the phone more reliable and easy to use. Some phones they can do simpler operation even loaded with lots of multi-funtional things. I have bought it from my money but it happened that I throw this phone hardly to the floor.

Don

I agree Looks great when you buy it, applications are great too, but it's a heavey brick! not very ergonomic, awkward to use, you accidently turn on applications due to the poor placement of buttons on each side just by holding it. It locks up often I've had this repaired but now it switches off during calls and doesn't recall the last number when it does this and you have to reset the phone to turn it back on which takes awhile. I'm ready to throw it in the harbour except my SIM cards in it. I've had enough! my first Imate Jam was great, I thought this would be an improvement sadly it's not!

My 9502 dialer hangs for atleast 30 seconds after the call has ended & it continues to count. When I open the Task Manager I find atleast 3 phone dialers in there. I try to close them but they do not close. Is there anything that needs to be done in the Registry to rectify the bug ?

casouzaj

Yes, the browser coming in the official ROM is indeed PIE. It is the version which comes with ROM build 19585.1.1.2, but you can download and install lots of free browsers out there, like Iris Browser, Skyfire, Opera Mini, etc. Cheers!

casouzaj

i-mate's official v1.77 WM6.1 ROM does handle SDHC cards pretty flawlessly. You see, I leave an 8GB microSDHC card inserted all the time, with 5GB+ of MP3s, lots of installed programs, etc, without a single glitch. I've read reports out there that the 9502 handles 16GB cards pretty fine too. Theoretically, SDHC specifications might reach 32GB, but I don't know whether a microSDHC has already been released with such a capacity or not. Cheers!

casouzaj

Firstly, try to hard-reset your device (at the same time, press and hold the blue Fn, the green call, and the power buttons: a screen will come up asking for confirmation). If it doesn't work, try to reflash the ROM: download the appropriate file from i-mate's website (you must be logged in), unpack it, connect your device through USB (Activesync or WMDC must be ruuning), run the unpacked EUM SFX executable file and follow the instructions. Hope it helps... Cheers!

hi, I want to ask about the internet program if it is explorer which version thank you

This phone is by far the best at this point. Pros: -Very Versatile and easily customized -Exchange email account over GPRS(microsoft exchange server). Easily accessible when you buy an exchange account online. -Google maps works fine -TV out + windows media player -Imate Touch (no need of stylus) -Qwerty size (comfortable)the best compared to any phone. -Windows 6.1 pro the best OS. -GPRS configuration is automated using imate configurator, which is really useful. cons: -Gps initial link takes longer time(htc magic connects 80 % faster than this) -Audio out jack is 2.5 instead of 3.5 mm(which is standard) -No preloaded maps.(so you need GPRS to work to cache maps on roaming) -HEAVY -Phone ringing hangs at times and phone/message alerts are missed at times. So needs restart often. -When qwerty is opened and the message is to be typed, there are lags whilst typing. (no lags when using touchscreen) - camera -mediocre -Battery life lasts 1 day on medium usage with little media/gps/high phone call usage.

my i-mate doesnt want to charge. the problem seems to be with connection that plugs into the phone. the port has come loose and every attempt to charge only results in the phone turning off and not charging. this is not the first time its played up. i like this phone and want to keep it (bubble breaker is very addictive). i'll get it fixed and hopefully no more gremlins. if so, no more i-mate......

casouzaj

I have my 9502 for almost one year now, and I have never had such a problem. I wonder if you leave too many applications running on the background. If this is your case, do you really need them alive all the time? You see, WkTask, pBar, or any other task manager around do the trick of killing unused applications, instead of letting them on the background. Just my 2 cents... Cheers!

shmel

does anyone knows how free up my PROGRAM RAM instead of keep resetting the device, cuz i'm always running out of free memory.( of course all the application are store on storage card.... i'm emphasizing on the internal running device memory)

The phone attracts attention from friends in the positive. As long as the backlight is set for minimum (10 secs) and doesn't light up in your pocket,you get quite a long battery life. Apart from bulk I am very happy with it

that is an excellent pocket pc with many many features The good: Excellent price compared to other PocketPCs, nice screen, performs very well with Windows Mobile 6.1 and has lots of features (3G, GPS, WiFi, etc) The bad: Big, heavy, small qwerty keyboard, poor battery The bottom line: A good choice, if you compare its value for money against the iphone or blackberry

asd

I wouln't use it if I were you. My friend plugged his Nokia 6030 in a computer output socket coz the rated voltage was same but he immediately burned his set. Means you should never use anything but the phone original charger for charging.

cass

i have had 2 of these phones and both have something wrong the first ones volume stopped working due to a fault and the other does not charge its buttons have come out of place and they both freeze up all the time id advise people not to buy these phones because they cost a fortune and brake quite easily.

Hey i have a moto v3 car charger, it seems to charge my 9502, should i use it? or maybe i can risk burning up my unit. the 9502 battery says 3.7V DC can anyone help? thanks

Vinko

I have this phone last 3 weeks and the major downturn is BATTERY LIFE !!! I`ve got cut off in the middle of Germany ("Main battery low" sign) when I was looking for friends phone. This was just after a DAY and HALF of phone being fully charged ?! PROS: Style, look, features, solid built, clear screen CONS: POOR BATTERY LIFE, bluetooth, too slow, weight, keyboard

Pratik

Did you get it from a shop or someone?

simon

Got this phone on offer at a knock down price. Battery life was very poor during the first few charges, but this was to be expected and stated in the manual. The phone can now last upto six days with light use. Worst was less than a day with sat-nav running most the time.

simon

Has this phone now been discontinued? Some sites had it at a reduced price but no longer list it now.

Louis

I heard battery life was bad on this unit. Has the ROM update improved the battery life? Has anyone out there reviewed this device with the new ROM and WM 6.1 installed. From what I heard so far, the device seems to be performing better now.

why don't have fm radio and camera is not good (is good is 5mp o more 30fps or more) if he has i well buy it.thnx

I have an 8GB microSDHC card inserted all the time on my 9502, flashed with i-mate's official v1.77 WM6.1 ROM. No problems at all here!

after updating to wm6.1 does it support 4gb or 8 or 16gb microsdhc cards?? a couple of people said yes. is this for sure or they advertising?

No but I am using a 4g sd o/k

Help with lost info!!! Where does the 9502/WM store the "Contacts Data"? I installed ActiveSync and USB connected phone to PC .. in the process both hung up and had to be restarted. Some contact info were lost... very "ad hoc" numbers but could have been the last few added.. maybe ?!?!? Please help..

HElp URGENT PLS

I have just upgraded it from wm6 to wm6.1, but looks like I've lost my GPS button in the process. Can anyone tell me what should I do to bring back this option?

Aminne

I recently switched away from the I-mate Ultimate and went with another PDA phone. I did not like the battery life at all. It would only last one day with light usage. If I used the phone frequently, then the phone is dead by early afternoon. Not using it at all yielded about one and a half days of battery power. The phone is also too bulky. On occasion it did not recognize my password and I would have to restart it. There is absolutely no after sales customer support which is the main reason for my switching products. Numbers and internet links (online chat)available but no responses. And they did not return messages left. Other than that the phone does have some great features. The calender the best features I've ever seen, very good for all sorts of appointments and flexible in its variables.

harrio

When I found out that IMATE now has a wm-6.1 professional rom for their ultimate-9502, I downloaded this rom and now I was able to use an 8gb SDHC card in the unit, download without any problems, bluetooth is automatically reconized. Its like having a brand new unit. Go to the IMATE site and get this treasure, you'll love the difference.

I have the IMATE ULTIMATE 9502 and downloaded the new wm-6.1 from the imate site, upon doing this, I too had the problem of the phone not hanging up. I contacted imate and was told to hard reset the unit which I did, now I experience pure ultimate pleasure with this unit, theres no problems whatsoever. Yes, the keyboard is a bit on the tiny side thats why I went and downloaded the SPB keyboard and now its rolling.Remember, no matter who puts out what, theres always going to be a slight disapointment that displeases someone.

while purchasing a used htc touch HD, i snapped on i-mate UT 9502. Although the look is not much impressive, but design is seemed innovative in window sets, LCD sharpness / colors are v good as usuall, & better than jasjam but the feature is that i mate has much improved the camera quality not compared with htc but not below mark. i m hoping that i-mate will re-enjoy the htc technology as O2. i like i-mate with HTC

Cassie

Can you make the font larger on the imate?

I am using the phone here in the US through ATT. It uses general GPS. The problems with the phone are: 1. Window Mobile 6 professional do not support alot of programs and unable to download alot of programs and music. 2. No RSS Feeds. 3. Max. capacity is 2GB. Great phone for office professional on the move. You will be dissappointed if you are a music fan.

Quick and easy is this phone unlocked when purchased new. I want to use it on ATT in the USA. If anyone knows or is using it now please let me know. Also does GPS use data plan or does it use standard GPS system?

Dear Amar, as u said u have crated hot spot at ur home, but buddy what u can do is just connect Via BT to the MS Active syncronizer n connect to the internet u dont need wireless LAN, I discovered it using JasJam,so u can use ur DSL speed over ur PPC 9502. But first of all use the data cable n update ur weather report. pick out the sim for a moment, so ur phone will use ur computer as a modem. Try it n Enjoy it!

Iman (SASVER)

what the hell!!!!! it's working very nice. i used the 9502 cpu to power fully 'and i handeling heavy programs with 9502' i do programming data bases with my 9502' i had perfectly presentation with 9502 tvout' keyboard is not big for (my fingers)'i never had stuking problems' just i have 2 problem's :1-when opening too meny programes' (6 above) wm6 can be slow working 2-posation of navigation key is really bad posation

Hi, I am using this device from last week. its a wonderful device. KEYBOARD is dam good. ONE OF THE WONDERFUL FEATURE "DIRECT VIDEO OUT" NO one is giving with window devices at the moment.. SO need to carry a laptop for ppts//

Amar

One of my contacts bought this in US and it took almost 2 months to reach me! Inspite of such a long wait, the excitement went away after seeing few difficiencies. My KeyBoard backlight is not on and I am not sure how to make it on, I have played around with the Backlight settings though few times without success.

Roy

Hi amar can you tell me he price of this phone in india..and how's the music quality of this device..

Amar

I have been using this device for the past 2 weeks. First thing - Battery life is not great when you use calls/BT/WiFi I am new to WM so I am going through the pain of understanding shortcuts. Ring Tone getting copied to the Phone memory instead of directly playing it from your Memory Card - Not a great thing Sometimes, network is getting disconnecte (we use 2G in India) QWERZTY keyboard is practically not usable. I think SE Xperia/HTC Diamond PRO understood and designed the keyboard much bigger. Messaging is a pain, no voice dail through BT device. When you have WiFi at home and you try to login to Windows Live, it always trying for GPRS/EDGE based data connection. Connection preferences to override Data Services when WiFI is available NOT there. WM Suite for Vista does not have many options to install applications. Unable to size the Background (custom) picture properly in the phone. Good phone overall but not worth for that money.

You could download divx for windows mobile phone. The software works very good and smooth.

I agree with everyone who has complained about the tiny phone keypad on the 9502 I wont be buying this phone because of it. This product is a huge let down. The keypad is for children to play with. Well done i-mate!!!!!!!!!!!! It took rocket science to design this phone keypad.

Dave M

I was so waiting this phone but I have to say I am disapointed with it. Slow and sluggish. Keyboard is just way too small to really use properly without hitting the wrong keys. My phone is only about 2 1/2 months old and already the rear battery cover has the paint starting to come off it and I keep it in the pouch all the time only ever putting it down carefully at night to charge. The phone application crashes somehow as I can not hang up a call and have to wait for the other end to hang up first. Sometimes when anwwering it also hangs and the other caller can here me but not me hear them. The display is wonderful though but only in dim or inside lighting. Outside it is a joke and you have to find shade to be able to read it. GPS is OK but slow to aquire position when first switched on and the need to use the Wireless Manager is a bit of a pain. I wish all phone manufacturers would opt for the Sirf Star III chipset as this locks onto satellites very quickly. I think honestly I will be selling this phone real soon as I am not happy with it. It hangs far too many times and having to do a reset at least 1 or 2 times a day is not so good.

hey guys i got this phone now. not happy with it at all ..2G SD card only...sucks very very slow ....keyboard is like for baby can not update rom to windowsmobile6.1 sucks.PPC ......waitting for htc touch pro

Cant work this out Take the I-mate 9502 for example. They,design a high quality phone choc-a-block with features, many which are very usefull. Then would you know it!! They stop short with that stupidly small telephone touch keypad. I would love to buy one,but not before I-mate fix the bloody thing!!

Manucubus

slow, difficult to read display in sunlight, keyboard to small, GPS laggy.... in general the Windows is a bit slow but still acceptable. In summer its difficult to read the display - unless you are in deep shadow. This is especially hindering when you try to take photos outdoors. The qwerty keyboard is _really_ small and best used with the fingernails of your thumbs. The GPS most of the time took 10 mins to start up (TomTom Navigator) - even under best conditions. Once started up it worked fine though. Some programs dont really close when you press the x button - so the windows media player keeps playing even if you try to close it. The 4 direction buttons on the front are sluggish. I experienced alot software crashes which forced a restart. On the Plus-side: good fast connectivity, sharp display, all functions you can ask for, the sliding mechanism fells good. Summary: overall good phone although not excellent. And too expensive

shams2002s

This model of I-Mate pocket PC is very very very bad. SLOW , CRUSHS , HANGS alot. but the GPS + Garmin 4.30 is very very FAST and cool the keybord is small and useless. the VGA is COOL but the colour depth 64K is sucks. the audio is nice the camera is very bad with 352X240 video record. I will sell this garbeg and buy NOKIA N95 8GB , the best phone that ever made. THANK YOU.

Hello All, I will receive my 9502 in a couple of days... I'm so excited. I here a lot people on different forums comparing this phone to Nokia "N" series, come on this are two different platforms. Nokia is media first, I-mate is productivity first (my opinion). I have a Nokia e61i and Imate Jasjar I would not dare to compare or say one is better than the other because they are on two different platform(OS). I would like to see forums compare this phone to the htc 8925(tilt),imate jasjar,imate herald, htc diamond duo,htc 6800 and the vario then I would care about some of the reviews. I really don't care about watching movies on my phone that is want my zune is for. The market is flooded with devices that are designed for high schoolers and college freshman(media minded). I want more from a phone I-mate and HTC has given that to me of the last 3 years. If I was 5 years younger...21 then I would want a dumb down phone....since I am not I do not waste my time if it is not linux, windows, BB, or palm. Oh yeah I am selling my Nokia E61i...lol (it is not for me). Don't get me wrong I have had Samsung, Nokia, LG, and Motorola (still have E680i and A780-Linux base) and if you believe that there are some great non media phones out there please share. I am only sharing from my own personal experience. [email protected]

this is a very nice device. however!!, the one thing preventing me from buying another is the dreadfully small telephone touch keypad. you need two hands to dial a number. one hand to hold the phone, the other to hold the stylus. not great if you need to input a number quickly. come on i-mate, pls fix this.

Liam

Sorry just noticed couple of typo's in previous post. With SD in it reboots (after hard reset) WITHOUT Telstra rubbish. Vanilla Version, went to imate site to download the Telstra access settings. WITH Calligrapher handwritten input much better than Microsofts Transcriber.

Liam

I have had my Imate 9502 (on Oz Telstra network) for about 3 months now, for the first month it was painfull - Running slowly - Need for constant resets - Memory rapidly dissapearing however I made the decision to hard reset it. What I found our is that if there is an SD card in it (which there was) when it rebooted it reset with all the Telstra rubbish that semi-locked the device to the Telstra portal (you had to switch the Telstra proxy off previously to use IE on other sites or use WiFi!). Unbelievable difference, soft re-set once week now to recover memory leak (Windows problem)I have SPB Mobile Shell sitting over the top and I must admit this is one of the nicest phones I used in a long time. Still a few shortcomings. - Battery life one day with moderate to heavy use. - GPS great but needs external 12v to spare battery. - Camera can be flaky - 2Gb SD sucks! The VGA out works suprisingly well and teamed with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard I have a fairly good mini notebook. Without Calligrapher works well for consistant written input. Would like to see a few more peripherals for this phone like a docking station that also charges a spare battery, although I think third party peripheral manufacturers will focus more on the big sellers Ipones , Nokias etc.

Guys, when you look at the specs of the HTC Touch Pro and the I-Mate Ultimate 9502, which one would you prefer and what would be your reasons. When doing this, please do consider the specs explained in both of the Brands Websites in terms of functions and customizations. Am seriously thinking of either the two and I can't make up my mind, since I need to upgrade my Phone. Your comments and suggestions here are welcome very much.

Papillon

Hi All, I purchased my 9502 (with a view to use it on the 3 network) 5 days ago from a local Melbourne person who had put an ad for it on the Gumtree web site. It's Telstra branded with Telstra' logo at the back and a few Telstra apps installed. I'm currently using my Telstra prepaid 2G SIM on it. Here are my experiences with the phone: 1. Went to the 3 shop to enquire a plan. The guy in the store inserted his SIM (of 3) in my phone and the phone didn't get any signal. He said the phone wasn't compatible with the 3 network! I had to leave the shop without getting a 3 SIM card. 2. Internet doesn't work with Wi-Fi. It connects to my home wireless network but there's no data activity. I'm yet to determine if it's a prob with my home Wi-Fi or the Telstra apps (like Telstra Proxy Manager)that are pre-installed. 3. Got the GPS working with TomTom6 last night. Followed the instructions given in the forum: 4. Installed TCPMP (formerly Betaplayer) ver 0.72 RC1 and tried to view a .AVI movie and found that the video was choppy and played almost frame by frame. From the players options I found that the movie with 24FPS was being played only at 5 - 7FPS with 90% of the frames being dropped. This discovery made me extremely angry as my old i-mate PDA2K EVDO CDMA phone (used only as a PDA now with the Telstra CDMA network shutdown) plays the same movie flawlessly. 5. Windows Mobile 6 freezes occaisionally. I still haven't gotten around to try out the VGA out functionality with the phone. I would really get my money's worth if I could see the following changes on the phone: a) Ability to read SDHC cards b) Better video driver(s) or the ability to play DivX movies without choppy video c) Ability to upgrade the OS to WM6.1 The phone though being heavy in the pocket feels weightless if worn around the hip and is alright (so far!) apart from the above issues.

Greg

GPS chips are there but as there is no software - no navigation capability - Sensis (whereis) is expeted to release mapping service in a few months. Until then it just adds weight

Greg

I have a new 9502 - 2 days old was sold on ability to use internet over 3g AND through a wifi connection But it appears Telstra has actually tried to lock down use of IE to their network. They certainly will not provide any support for connecting to internet over wifi and direct you to imate who are confused by the fact that it appears you cannot change settings as they would expect. At this stage I would have to suggest that using wifi for internet is Not an option.

i'm really thinking about getting this phone but its between the iphone and this and now i know they're not in the same group so to speak but they are both for sure one of the hottest phones so i'm stuck between which one to get if u could help me i would really apreciate it and also is there aim compatibility on the 9502 or do i have to download through some separate download onto it

Further to my last. Anyone wanting to use this device with Exchange will be happy. Synch via WM6 platform to Outlook is wonderful & my emails hit my device before my desktop! PDF, Word and Excel file viewing great on the screen, camera is a bit how-you-going as the flash isn't very powerful. I have worked out that my poor battery life experience has more to do with being linked to my exchange server than anything as it has a constant HSDPA connection. Got the TV and Monitor out working which means no more notebook for PowerPoint presentations, I simply email or transfer the file to the device & off I go. As stated before, remember to lock that screen as you will make calls in your pocket which is not good if you are saying bad things about the person who just rang you after you get off the phone!

Michael

I have gone from a JasJam to a Moto Q9 then to this. Telstra boasts 7.2 MBPS but its lucky to get 2.2 down. I think my opinion is skewed as I had a trade show on and as the event organiser it was a pain in the buttocks to have in your pocket, bulky, battery life sucks & forgetting to lock it all the time making calls. I think once I have time to sit down & play with it more & work out its subtle features & querks then I'll be a lot happier. Any users know how to get Flash working on it?

I am using at the same time TyTN II, O2 Graphite, Dopod m700 and this imate 9502. Guess which is my favorite? It is the imate 9502. The build quality is superb because of the metal casing, unlike all others which are plasticky, that is, toy like. The VGA screen is beautiful. Interestingly it is very fast. Try opening up the windows folder by the File Explorer you will know what I'm talking about. The downside are its 2G card support and relatively slower initial first time GPS fix.

daniel

agree, the after sale support really poor... can someone teach me how i connect internet thru PC? while my previous O2 pda is able to do so. Thank you in advance.

Dave M

This is a great phone but as others have said, the battery life sucks. I would be happy with a chunkier PDA phone if I could get at least double the battery life. I charge every night but with the 9502 I am lucky some days if I get a full day out of it. The GPS is very slow but then so is all the other PDA's using the Qualcomm chipset. I see some have switched to the Sirf chipset and this is a great move. Lets hope Imate does the same with newer models as the Sirf Start III chipset is very fast for locking on.

asd

hi, can ne1 tell me about the camera quality? and what size video does it take and the frame rate?

Ed

I'm having trouble with this phone, after some use the screen will not come on when I receive a call, so I'm not able to see who is calling and after that it takes some effort to get the screen to start working again. I called support and they showed me how to Hard reset the phone. This solves the problem but just for a day or two, so I've had to hard reset the phone several times and re-sync it everytime.

Ed

For TOMTOM You need to set it up in the tomtom software under "Other NMEA GPS Receiver" Max baud rate (115200)and COM 9. Also set com 9 in the phones GPS settings under the Programs Tab. I must warn that it takes a wile to start getting a "valid GPS signal" Maybe 2 min

Dan

Thanx Ali, but is imposible. I have i-mate 9502 and Nav N Go IGO8. Those two don't mix. When I reached com9 on Nav N Go it's stop responding and after 6 hours is on the same state. So my advice is: Don't buy i-mate 9502 if you want to use it with Nav N GO, or don't buy Nav N Go if you want to use it with i-mate 9502. The main reason why I wanted this i-mate it was because I had 4 devices in one. Internet explorer (which is not working with O2 in Ireland), GPS (which is not working with Nav N GO) Phone, and MP3 Player. As you can see it the working things are at the bottom of my list, so you can figure out yourself how happy I am.

Ali

Dan - look for GPS is on in the wireless manager. it is a common mistake for many. then just leave on com9

Pride

I have the 8502, and again just like Eten, the after sales support is crap!!! No response to e-mails...

Dan

I'm having problems with the GPS on this device. Can anyone help me to configure this? I've tried all COM's, but nothing. Thanx.

aminne

Great phone but battery life is very, very bad. I use about 85% of the total battery power on a daily basis. Tried calling their customer support but have not been able to get a hold of anyone to date. Customer support is non existent.

previously a palm tx, palm OS treo 650, sony ux50, I-mate jasjar user. probably the best phone I've ever owned since the original startec. it looks bigger than it actually is. though you really can't expect a device with this many features to be tiny. Its very easy to operate singlehandedly w/ multitude of dials, hot buttons and the touch screen. screen is beautiful and while the sliding screen does feel little loose, the build quality is surprisingly solid. only qualm I have the lack of OEM SDHC card support. though I have yet to try out the flash rom or SDHC777. probably give it a try this weekend.

pls can someone post more GPS info - what maps work best etc - is it compitable with TOMTOM Nav 6?

has anybody tried to sync with mac laptop with success?

No, i-mate has working ATI drivers and does better than Nokia N95 on Open GL ES 1.0 benchmark. Video also plays back at 30fps

Does the imate have the same video driver problem as Tytn II ?

aryfmate

can i keep it silent for a lemeted time ? 5 minuts , 10 minuts .... etc and then it comes back utomaticly like nokia for example?

Nice phone but they have ripped off the hiptop slides design.

Pros: great build quality, fast wifi,crisp TV even though its only composite (not VGA), strong GPS signal, quality camera, 640x480 screen is great for remote desktop use (laptop replacement) cons: battery life(turn on wifi and GPS sparingly, or you will not see the dayout), have to buy your own GPS software, slide out screen feels a little tacky (wobly), customer support is AWOL, & 100 other cons that are more the fault of WM6 than imate. Summary = I understand the limitations of the tech, and compared with the available choices its a fantastic phone and I love it, best phone I have had. ps: don't forget to install the remote desktop CAB, IMHO the phone is not worth buying unless your using remote desktop. stuff the limited mobile browsers, remote to your home PC and use a normal web browser.

curious

wasted so much time being doubtful of this 9502,but now am njoying every cents i spent.everythings work out just freakin smoothly,the VGA display just wow i mean WOW,eyes been hunger 4 that!

this phone is so heavy, it would pull your pants down if you had it in your pocket haha

zigi

Is it possible to buy a spare battery for the 9502? According to the i-mate web site, it should, but I cant find any offer in e-shops. The authorised representative of i-mate in my country says "we have no original accesories for the 9502, but they will be introduced soon"

riq

I'm never use PDA and I need advise which one is better for me to buy. Thanks's alot before. Bye.

danny are u sure?can u inform me about sdhc support for 9502 i really need this.thanks

netboy

GPS works great! but no GPS software included! go get your own! haha

Torguy

This devices has pretty much the same specs as the TyTN II. Size, OS, processor etc. are almost the same in both. I have the TyTN II and can say that I have had no problems with my device. I would get which ever phone you can at the lower price. You're not going to loose any features which ever phone you choose.

Danny

For SDHC Support, flash your device with this rom: it works 100% :-)

Anyone can help with the GPS question? Does the unit come with any map? Anyone try your GPS? Does it work? How is the response?

The best phone ever. Gps works perfect. Camerea very good. It's much better than TyTn II . If you wanna be the best in town buy the I-MATE ULTIMATE 9502 ;)

rehamer

I have checked it yesterday. This phone is really huge compared to the x150 series. You can NOT also use it sigle handedly. It looks decent and expensive though.

i bought it from Dubai at 860$, a friend go it for me

Hey, its little cheaper in Al Falak Electronics in deira city center Groun Floor, I mate has an edge over tytn II , TV/projector out and Battery of i mate is more big than tytn II ,,so I mate is Better

I think the only good thing about this phone is its GPS. other than that, i have to wait for the xepria. I am very pleased and satisfied with my ultimate 8150. it has vga screen anyway.

Hi I saw it yesterday @ Virgin Megastore (dubai city center) = 3299/- Dhs about 896 US $, but is quit heavy and the slid of the key board not really stable,, can some advice between this device, HTC TyTN II & HTC Touch Cruise. Which one to buy?

Anonymous

I have had i-mate Ultimate 9502 smartphone for about a while now and it is great but getting it to work with Bluetooth has proven impossible. I have two computers that are just over a year old (one only two months) and neither can use Windows Mobile Center for syncing even though bluetooth is set up. I have an exisiting case with Microsoft who is trying to help and most supportive (calling me back - to see how I am going with the problem) but i-mate support is absolutely appalling even if you can understand their strong Malaysian accents. Also i-mate technical support do no follow-up (phone back when they say they are going to) or even create an ongoing case. I even tried the online "live support" and there was either no one available or or the connection would drop out, on the one time I got through. Microsoft identify what the problem is it is the sync profile according to the problems and solutions center in the control panel. Bottome line: when you spend over $1000AU (as much as a laptop!) on a device there should be better help from the manufacturer. Advice: if you want to buy one of these i-mate smartphones - make sure you are prepared for bad after sales support!! Maybe you should go for the HTC TyTN II. Even though the daily battery life isn't as good. The only problem is that it is not available on a Telstra plan. I am beginning to think I should have waited! Just so everyone understands in the world - this is why Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 won't work with Bluetooth. It is the Sync Profile. I-Mate help desk is not providing any help at this time!

Hi all, i just brought it becoz of its outstanding spec. and 50% of the comments from this forum. But some parts thats bothering me is that the 3 MP camera quality is not so expected compared with the same MP from nokia or samsung. another thing is it's hard disk memory is very limited, beside all the default application which left me ard 90MB for my other installation. Am i able to upgrade the harddisk space instead of using card?

Can you install skype on it? Since it has WIFI, when in a public place, restaurant or Hotel with a WIFI point connection should I get internet free on the phone and use skype? Is it possible to make a video call for to Skype user such as a PC or any other person online maybe having skype on his mobile.

Hi PxvC. This product sounds like magic, but .... I don't know anything about TomTom software. With this running do you have full GPS Navigation or just Positioning?

Anonymous

I got one of these yesterday. First impressions: Fantastic to finally have a VGA screen. It is a 480x640 screen so it's true VGA nothing less. It's NOT the size of a PSP...in fact it's just slightly larger than the PSP LCD screen. Size is not an issue but then again I had a Jasjam before. GPS works but you will need Tomtom or other software installed. I have Tomtom running and it works fine. Haven't tested SDHC but on the imate forum people are asking for an official patch so I take it it doesn't work...yet. Build quality seems solid. Case is partially metal - not plastic like the HTC phones. Three things that are less than ideal: Don't know how to get rid of the Telstra customization yet The power button is in a STUPID place (on the top if your holding the phone in your hand) The plastic above the camera lens sticks out and is unprotected. This is likely to scratch horribly in no time so I'll have to put something over it....what were they thinking??? VGA is HARD to read at full res, i.e. when you make the fonts small but you can fit SO much more on that screen! Otherwise the phone feels solid and handles nicely but of the four phones we got, one had a dead battery. Cheers

too large, and ridiculously heavy at 200g. also poor battery life. shame about the problems with HTC or this wouldn't stand a chance against the TyTnII.

I dont think this will Work with Tmobile 3g. Also it does have hand writing recon and it should be able to use Micro SDHC, But I'm hearing a lot of ppl saying it wont take anything higher then 2gb. And this Phone should Officially be out for US and Euro on Apr.20-24 (different sellers)

Does it support SDHC cards? If not, would you buy a superb computer without hard disk? Where should we put heavy maps for gps, applications and data according to imate? All in 2Gb?

I purchased it and the seller gave me with it 4 GB micro SD that put me in a lot of problem for it was not detecting it or in other words it does not cope with it; fault of the seller. I tried with it now 2 GB memory and works normal. Anyhow, I wish it should have worked with it like many other Nokia mobile phones do. Secondly, I feel trouble now with GPS SW and Maps for the gulf countries. Thirdly it doesnt play real format material. Irshad

happy??

THis phone should be available in the us by late April (Apr 21-27) and can be preorder at many website already(Mobilecityonline , Exepasy US) Also will have ATT 3G. Even though Im waiting for the US version I've already used the AU version and was everything I thought it would be, A Power House with a great design, slow at times home screen, Great super Fast GPS, and nice Camera and Tv out setup.

hey for those who have it, howz the camera ?

yes it does support push mail like gmail. ive got a question..if i apply the SDHC.777 patch can i use an micro sdhc upto 16gb on it? and does the patch cause any problems with the wifi as i read

I just got my 9502 at the weekend and I have to say I am well pleased with it. The speed is excellent compared to my old HTC Tytn II. Even with the same processor and speed, the 9502 is much smoother. Switching from Portrait to Landscape is much quicker. Keyboard is a bit smaller than the HTC and will take me some time to get used to it, but otherwise the build quality feels good. The VGA display is excellent but as is usual with most Windows Mobile PDA's is a quasi-qvga and not a true VGA but saying that, text and graphics a much smoother on it overall. Battery life seems pretty good compared to my old HTC and I gave some 25-35% more at the end of the day with the same usage pattern. If you are thinking of buying go get one, you won't be disappointed.

Carla

No gps navigation you say, but if I install tomtom navigator on this shit, it should be working like a normal gps, right, plotting routes and all... No ?

Collet Kudze

Have not used this device as yet. From anyone who has used it , is it possible to do Email sync up to folder levels. Looks like a great device!

OMG!! This looks and sounds like a realy powerful device! Now this would make quite an upgrade from my current Nokia N81 Symbian S60 device. Anyone in South Africa has this or know how much its going to be here? Also does this have a seperate GPU 3D Engine like the Nokia E90?

Knight(SG)

Hi SteveJ, Seems like both of us are waiting for the same phones! I was actually considering 9502 and SE X1 too. I do prefer the X1 more but then since my dopod 900 is failing me and I do not have any idea when X1 is going to launch, I go for the 9502 first. So far this phone have been serving me well, the only thing is the battery life of the phone drain real fast.

Steve J

Thanks alot Knight! I will be looking forward to your more detailed tests. From what you've said so far, it looks like the video drivers for 3D graphics acceleration have been enabled (unlike HTC TyTN II) so it looks like we could be in for a good time with this mini-computer. I am so pleased that i-mate dared to give us a VGA screen where so many other companies have chickened out! VGA screens are the future. One cannot run or hide from this fact. I am also delighted that I do not have to wait ten years till SE bring out the X1 to enjoy high definition mini-computing. There is so much of a furore over the SE X1 but nobody is quite sure of its release date. The earliest possible time has been given as September. Its specifications are similar to i-mate's Ultimate 9502 so I may as well try the i-mate.

Knight(SG)

Hi SteveJ, I actually did a simple review on the device in the www.ppcsg.com forums. you may want to check out the thread there and you will get more info. have tested the 9502 with tytnII in playing the same WMV file on the same TCPMP player. the 9502 did not encounter the sluggish play back or laggy or jerky but the tytnII does. but please take note that i run the test with different programs loaded on different devices.. I cant afford to hard reset both devices and just to test the video play back. I do not know if the VGA drivers of the 9502 have been patch or not, but so far i have install quiet a no of softwares and do not really experience any lag unless i run multiple programs at the same time. Give me sometime and i will test out more things on this device. If there anything that you guys want me to test?

Lekki

It doesn't have gps navigation. It has gps positioning. They are two different things. And the processor is 400mhz afterall. But if you don't believe me, buy it and find out yourself

ebsjw

Hi All, Telstra are launching on 25/03/07. Confirmed today. I work very closely with them and have had my order confirmed. Watch this space....Less than a week to go! I hope it's worth the wait.

Steve J

Which planet is Lekki from? Planet Pluto or perhaps even Planet Misinformation?? Knight how about giving us a detailed review on this mean machine. Are the video drivers enabled for 3D graphics acceleration?? GSMArena come on! Let's have a review!!

Knight(SG)

Hi Lekki, I double confirmed what imatemate have mention in the earlier post. I am using a imate9502 on my own and the phone does come with a built in GPS receiver and using a 400mhz processor.

Ivan Hoe

I own the ultimate 9502 It's performance is exceptionally good. SDHC.777 patch will enable SDHC support on this machine, there are already people using 8GB SDHC cards on it already. Yes it is Qualcomm MSM7200 processor but it's video performance wins the Tytn II hands down. Using TCMP and DivXhtcdriver: Divx., FLV., 3gp., Mp4., Ogm., AVI., and even Video CD DAT.files play well on th ultimate 9502. GPS will get a fix in under 2mins if you are not moving and not undercover, when using any kind of GPS reciever, you should get yourself fixed before you start moving .... If you are already in a moving vehicle and can't get a fix that's not the fault of your hardware. I have used the Eten M700 with sirfstar GPS and it was really good. The GPS on the ultimate 9502 is equally good, if not superior to that of the M700. I have seen the Tytn II and it's video performance "Sucks !!!", There is a terrible issue with the driver support on the Tytn. It is also very ugly to look at. Sorry for that ... just my opinion.

Peter

To the preople who already have one, how is the battery life? TyTn II claims about 240hrs standby. 9502 has larger battery. But I know one person with a 9502 and the battery life is absolutely pityful. With very light usage, lucky to last a day. So how are you finding it?

Lekki

Dude, don't spout trash. We are talking about gps navigation. What the imate has is gps positioning. The same service you get when you call the operator and ask where you are. That is why I said that it doesn't have gps. Because what people are talking about it the kind of gps you can use in your car to get you from point A to point B. I was wrong about the processor though.

Kenrick

This phone seems to be a wonderfull phone but cout i get the contact number for where this phone is sold or any other i mate products

imatemate

Lekki I brought the ultimate 9502 for more than a week and i am held it in my hand now and telling you it has integrated gps and 400mhz. The man at the store is cheating you or he don't know anything at all. So........."If you haven't held the phone, don't give false information" don't mislead others. Thanks

Anonymous

Here is a link to the i-Mate 9502 specification sheet dated February 8 2008 on the i-Mate web site. It states the device has an integrated GPS, and an 400 MHz Qualcomm� MSM 7200� processor.

Joespannar

Lekki, you are talking rubbish. I live in Singapore and owns the 9502. Read the specs and understand what you are talking about. The phone has an inbuilt GPS receiver which locks on fast. The processor is the same as TyTn II (Qualcomm 400Mhz). Check out the forum pages (eg. www.ppcsg.com) and you will see that there are no complaints of bugs so far (unlike other phones like TyTn II, etc). Don't be fooled by sales people who have an agenda and pushed for phones that bring them higher commissions, etc.

slim

Lekki thanks alot for your info:)

Lekki

And they don't use the same processor. The one in the store has a 500mhz processor.

Lekki

If you haven't held the phone, don't give false information. The salesman at the store told me I had to buy a separate receiver for it. I asked him for a device that had both wifi and gps and wasn't a nokia and he showed me the tytn II not this phone.

Steve J

Lekki, you don't need a separate GPS receiver. The phone uses the same processor as the TyTN II, namely a Qualcomm MSM 7200. This processor comes with inbuilt GPS-and it is a very good one.

Lekki

Sharaf DG in Deira City Centre seems to have the best prices. Even better than Axiom.

Lekki

I am not getting it after all. Not because I'm getting an e90, but because you need a separate gps receiver with the phone which I feel is retarded if they're calling this an ultimate phone. Otherwise, the phone is sick. And I was talking about here in the UAE.

Hussam

To: Lekki Hi, I advise you to go and select Nokia E90 Communicator, all your requested fetures are there, furthermore it has been tested by ppl and they are happy...

Which country Lekki? I know that it has recently (last week or so) come out in Singapore.

Lekki

Just so you guys know, this phone has been out for 2 days. It's price is 3299 dirhams. The screen is amazing and I'm buying it tomorrow.

Hello, I am a bit confused, i have two options, HTC TYTN II and imate Ultimate 9502(will be out soon). Both have the same processor, 9502 has higher pixels 640x480 pixels, color 256K versus 240x320 pixels 65K. I do not know if TYTN II has a adobe viewer?? 9502 has. My personal use for the pocket PC is outlook, excel, word, and pdf view and edit.Also the using it as a GPS would come in handy. I am new to Pocket PCs. Can anyone give advice please. I need to make a decision in two weeks time. Thank you

Steve J

Nice clarification Tawd. I wanted to ask whether this phone is capable of playing the full version of Youtube and CNN videos. (I have heard that phones such as Nokia's N95 8GB can only play mobile versions of Youtube because it supports only Flash Lite 3 and not Adobe Flash Player 8 or higher). Also have you heard whether they have enabled the video drivers for 3D graphic acceleration?

tawd

It seems like there is a lot of confusion about this phone working on a US 3G network. Let's clarify. The 9502 sports triband 3G. Specifically, 850/1900/2100Mhz. 2100 Mhz is an Asia/European band. 850Mhz & 1900Mhz are ONLY used by AT&T's 3G network in the US. So YES, THIS PHONE WILL OPERATE IN AMERICA using AT&T's 3G network. Keep in mind that AT&T, as of right now, is the ONLY 3G network that is operational in the United States. Next is the 1700Mhz 3G hype. T-mobile USA's upcoming 3G network is supposed to use this band. However, IT IS NOT FUNCTIONAL AS OF RIGHT NOW. It may be another year, or two, or three, before it's even activated. So the moral of the story is that the 1700Mhz 3G frequency DOES NOT EXIST for cellphones, ANYWHERE. Not yet at least... The argument that the 9502 does not work in any us 3G network is based on incorrect information. STOP GIVING FALSE INFO!

ya are you sure about that? 9502 is already out,just hasn't been released on this side of the planet yet.

Anonymous

Are you sure they were talking about the 9502, and not another Ultimate model, the 9150? The 9502 is now being sold retail in Singapore, and has been announced for March delivery by Telstra in Australia.

Phone is cancelled. HTC p6500 also cancelled. I called both companies, which took forever-transfered a thousand times-but eventually found somebody who could talk about the product. They'll have similar units sometime in the future, but those phones are no longer an official product. That info would have been helpful back in oct 2007...

xOrangeFirex

It is a great device, but I must hold judgement to see if it actually comes out. I-mate is the most unreliable company in the mobile world when it comes to actually releasing phones they announce. They have had many devices that have been canceled. I have never seen another company cancel a phone (or very rarely) and i-mate does it regularly.

This gadget looks nice. Can it work perfectly in Ngeria? What is the exact cost of the phone?

just face it, imate has just gotten our hopes up again, its never gonna come out, they are just gonna keep pushing it back -____-

Another simple short review.

Anonymous

The 9502 is expected to work in the United State on the AT&T network. It will also work on the T-Mobile network, but not at T-Mobile's highest speed, because T-Mobile uses the 1700 MHz band. The FCC has not yet approved the 9502 for use in the United States.

It doesn't work in United States ?!

Check out the mini reviews here:

Steve J

Ali and Knight, any chance of you guys giving us a review on this mighty mobile? What are the pros and the cons? Can the Qualcomm processor handle the VGA screen? What about battery life? Is the mobile sluggish in opening programs? What is the resolution of the camcording? How do you find the VGA screen? Are you receiving sharp, vivid images especially in tables, graphs and charts? Can this mobile match or even supercede the performance of TyTN II? Have they enabled the drivers for 3D acceleration?

Ali

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> For people with 9502 who wants SDHC support, download CAB/ZIP file from this forum. You need to be member but it is free. the file is SDHC.777.cab.zip Now there is nothing the 9502 needs more. it is perfect for me.

Knight(SG)

to Ali, wiull you be kind enough to show me where to get the patch or driver for the use of 4gb sdhc card on the 9502? Currently i am using 2gb and its running out of space soon.

Anonymous

To Ali - are you a magician or how is it possible that you ,,have" it ?

Ali

You can ignore jGBF [106.47.42.46] He has no idea what he is talking about. This phone works fine on AT&T, the only HSDPA 3G operator in America. T-mobile has said they will support 1700 MHz, but it isn't even announced yet, much less real. See here for real information, not some nonsense posted byt a troll: By the way, I have a 9502 and it does not support SDHC by default. However, I found a CAB file [driver, I guess] that allows my 9502 to read my 4GB MicroSD card. And I use my 9502 in America. it works great. Peace.

if living in the U.S. dont bother buying this phone. its not capable of a 3G network 1700 band. it will switch to the unreliable 2G network. this phone signal works better if you're living in Europe or China.

nobody in the United States wants this phone. get this piece of crap out of here. i looked at this phone like it was god. but now i found out it doesnt support 3G network for the US. we use 1700. im gettin the SE Xperia. at least i know it will carry a great signal for no matter where im at.

Knight(SG)

The phone is launch today in singapore for sale at the price of S$1348 with 2 years global warranty. I felt the phone is kind of nice and quiet like it. The only con i find is the keyboard which is really too small for proper typing.

This is so rediculous, it should have been released already. I hope this isn't a representation of the kind of quality and service we can excpect from i-mate.

TELSTRA? LOL If Telstra is going to release this one it will be pretty much a luxury item that 2% of the population can afford. I hate their pricing! They are the most expensive, and just because of NextG. Anyway, I'm still hoping to see a 9150 eventually! Harlekkin

Does anyone know if that's possible? Also, where can I buy this phone? I've been looking everywhere but can't seem to find it.

They say this device is the "Hambuger with the lot". We will see. There is talk it may join the Telstra NextG network in Australia next month (March). Certainly Telstra could do with this little beauty in their lineup. No one is saying as yet. Hope this another case of "pigs can fly" for Telstra's NextG customers.

Looks like GSMArena finally went to the Imate booth, but apparently they didn't spend much time there. The only notable comments on the 9502 were it's a "smoothly" running phone with a decent QWERTY keyboard. However, the screen is rather "sluggish" when changing orientation. That's it? I'm rather disappointed GSMArena. I was hoping for a more in-depth review of the Ultimate series. There are quite a few people that have questions about these phones.. For example, how does the TV-out look/peform? Were any multimedia functions (such as 3D acceleration, video decoding/encoding, etc) even mentioned by the Imate representatives? What about confirmations of a release date?

Anonymous

Be in Australia next month

JonK

That chipset in those HTC devices is powerful though. HTC just decided that their customers don't need all that power. I don't think imate will be as foolish. Keep in mind though, the X1 will be out in the second halp this year. The 9502 could be as early as end of this month (according to some online retailers) or as late as april. And why has there still been no scrap of info about imate at the WMC??? Everyone is stuck on the new Sony... good move sony.

tawd

Oh yeah and one last thing about the X1.. It has quadband 3G w/HSDPA and HSUPA. This means support for T-mobile's future US 3G network. The X1 just might be the best investment for PPC minded US users.

tawd

I'll be honest, the XPERIA X1 is looking pretty sweet about now. Just keep in mind that SE will probably have the best driver support and 3rd party software support out of all the pocket PC manufacturers out there today. To me, this idea is very compelling considering the troubles of HTC these days.. I'm also worried about the same problems arising with the 9502, as it uses the same chipset as said HTC products. We'll find out soon enough I guess.

DaveG

Just received an email news alert. This phone is coming to Australia to be used under the 3G850 network sometime in the first half of March 2008. Can not wait!

JonK

Yeah, the Xperia is the first device that made me look away from the 9502. Nice to have good choices in VGA qwerty sliders right? :) I think I will stick to the ultimate though. The X1 uses memory stick micro (good ol' proprietary sony, eh?). Also, it won't be out till august. And I like the look of the 9502 better. I don't think I like the optical dpad on the Sony, and the 9502 has more buttons. There is a lot to love about the Sony though.

Anonymous

this was on my list til i saw the sony ericsson 's xperia. stupid i-mate is takin so long

Dave McLaughlin

This one was on my list as a must have and if SE release the Xperia X1 before this one arrives, I will go for the SE. This one has been too long in coming. Mind you, we all know how long SE take to finally release phones so we shall see who will win my money!!!

hey man....||| i will be crazy till it comes its the best phone in world when does it comes ? when does it comes ? when does it comes ? when does it comes ?

JonK

Steve, I would be very worried if it was HTC still making phones for imate. HTC proved with this whole video driver debacle that they dont really care about making cutting edge devices that push the envelope in performance. Older HTC devices outperform the new ones. And so far reports indicate that the imate devices are solidly built. Take a look at some reviews of the released ultimates. As far as release date, the 9502 will be announced this week (maybe as soon as tomorrow). At that point, I think the April release date will stick. Like I said before though, I would rather see the 9502 delayed to make a polished final product rather than rushed out the door full of bugs. Just my opinion though.

tawd

Steve - you said it best. I think everyone here is waiting for i-mate to answer that same question when this and the other ultimates are actually available. That is, if they ever become available. Until then, we can only speculate.

Steve J

Tawd, you have made some interesting points but I have serious reservations about this phone. Firstly the specifications are so high that it will take a master manufacturer to achieve smooth operation. HTC used to manufacture i-mate phones. Now I do not know who makes i-mate phones. It is easy to write down an advanced spec sheet but far more difficult to make the device work smoothly. Secondly i-mate have a history of making consumers wait many months before releasing an announced product. They obviously have difficulty in realising technical dreams. So the question is are the new makers of i-mate phones technically advanced enough to turn the spec sheet into reality??

tawd

sir - you're comparing apples to oranges. When comparing a Symbian Series 60 phone to any Windows Mobile 6 it phone really comes down to personal preference; thus some people will favor the E90 over the 9502, or vise versa. Both perform well in their respective categories (PPC and SmartPhone) and the choice really depends on what you want in a phone. So, in other words, find the information yourself and make up your own mind on which phone to get.

Bytales

I really do hope i-mate will develop drivers for the qualcomm chipset, because, beeing a small company, they don't afford not to support the chipset features, like HTC does (not giving a rats ass), or maybe they will make a driver for the qualcomm chipset just to show HTC they mean bussines, especially after they broke up !

tawd

xOrangeFirex - The Ultimate 9502 has the EXACT same radio service that the TyTN II does. Both sport quadband GSM and TRIBAND 3G. Every phone out there AT BEST only supports quadband in a 2G bandwidth. But with TriBand 3G this phone will take full advantage of the US and Europe's 3G networks. The only 3G networks that are worthwhile noting only use 850/1900/2100 frequencies anyway, so, as long as there is a 3G network present the 9502 will use it as it takes advantage of all 3. Quadband 2G is not a weak point of this phone, nor any phone for that matter. Think about what you're saying before you say it. Also, nobody said this would be a TyTN II killer - however, it certainly has the potential to do so as HTC doesn't give a shit about their driver support, which results in a crippled product. Even though the 9502 has the same Qualcomm CPU, there is a strong chance that it will take full advantage of what the MSM 7200 has to offer.. This means 3D acceleration, hardware video encoding/decoding acceleration, TV output, & HSUPA to name a few. Such things combined with a VGA resolution screen definitely bring the 9502 to a much higher level than that of the TyTN II. So... Now that you mention it, the 9502 actually would be a TyTN II killer because it should be able to do everything that the TyTN II was SUPPOSED to do in the first place, all with a screen that can hold 4 times the information. (ie VGA resolution has 4 times the pixels of a QVGA resolution - hence the acronym, Quarter VGA)

tawd

Ummm... The site you just listed shows it available for PRE-ORDER. Underneath the 'options' section it says "Availability: 02/27/08" It's not available right now. Even the above listed date seems premature, as the I-Mate representatives cited in a post below said they'll be released around april '08. Even though this is the basically the best phone to date, don't get your hopes up for it to be released any time soon.

I'd rather wait for this device than buy a half assed driver lacking HTC device or a buggy memory anemic ETEN device. I hope the delay in this device is that they are choosing to fully develop it rather than rush it out the door full of bugs.

i lost total interest in this fone now.. why buy a product when the company doesnt even know when its gonna lauch it they are so unsure and unorganzied about there stuff.. at first it was september when they would lauch it and then dec then jan and now april! god imate loosing its value

Ram

For 200 gms, i dont know why they cant put a 3.5mm audio connector. Ithink this is a must feature along with XGA output instead of VGA output. If they add these features and a FM radio, this will be best device for quite some time in the market :) Even without these, i think it will still be the coolest phone :P

damn! i want this phone so bad! cant wait til it comes out. i hope it can read microsdhc. im pretty sure it will. hopefully it will also come at an affordable price. its only competitor is the tytn II.

cool phone

JonK

Thanks. I guess I should probably clarify, it will be officially launched at the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona which will be February 11-14. Hopefully we will see good detailed reviews of it soon after. Sales units however won't be available until mid April. Tawd, keep in mind the Tytn 2 did not utilize the capabilities of that chipset. Particularly, the video divers did not use the onboard GPU, resulting in poor video performance. I am hoping that imate will not make this mistake, and I dont think they will. It would be a much bigger poblem with a VGA screen. I think/hope with proper drivers the imate will perform at least as good as the tytn 2 if not better.

tawd

Gee - the GPS receiver is integrated within the Qualcomm MSM7200 chipset, thus you should look at the Qualcomm website for that information.. Last time I looked I thought they said something about the SiRF Star III, but it looks like Qualcomm has since changed their site and i can't find the product page anymore.... :? I wonder what's going on w/Qualcomm? Maybe they've had so many complaints about their MSM platform not being able to live up to the specs advertised on their product page. The TyTN 2 was defintely a let down, in terms of what the MSM7200 is supposedly capable of. I have a feeling the same thing will happen with this phone.. I'm really starting to lose interest in I-Mate. :(

Anonymous

The Qualcomm processor found in the 9502 has a built-in GPS chipset. It is the same as the one used in HTC's TyTN II. Professional reviewers have stated that it is nearly as sensitive as a SIRF Star III.

Gee

I wonder if anyone knows what is the chipset of the built-in GPS of the i-mate Ultimate 9502? i-mate are not being transparent in the specs. regarding the build-in GPS, while in ETEN x800 for example it is something that they like show in bold (Sirf Star III - currently the best GPS chipset (Jan-2008))

this is really ultimate if it overcome Nokia N95 8GB features. 5 MP, 2592 x 1944 pixels, Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, video(VGA 30fps), flash; - Built-in GPS receiver - A-GPS function - Installed Maps application covering over 100 countries - Stereo FM Radio - Organizer - MP3/AAC/AAC+/eAAC+/WMA player no doubt there is no comparison btwn PDA and Cellphone... if something to be said ULTIMATE should deserve it! i suppose...

1. YEs this phone read HCSD (4gb,6gb microsd...etc.) 2.Yes WM6.1 will be upgradeable to WM7. 3.Yes these phone is big and thick in size but so it the E90 and the ATT tilt. (its smaller then a nintendo ds lite) 4.Yes this phone has a mobile video card even though Imate wont tell me exactly which. 5. Yes this phone will be bad ass for it's time if it comes out within the next couple months....which i doubt. till then stop begging for prices and availability, just wait till you see official info from imate.

To andrew: SDHC support is mostly limited by software (driver), not hardware. There is little reason why a WM6 device like 9502 will NOT support microSDHC. Even WM5 devices can support SDHC with an unofficial CAB. I have also enabled SDHC support for my pre-SDHC card reader in Windows XP with an unofficial hotfix. The 'official' SDHC support is sometimes overrated.

It doesn't have the nvidia goforce 5500 like the Ultimate 6150 and Ultimate 8150. However, I've been using a pro-production 9502 for a month now, and let me tell you, this phone is not slow at all. It is even more responsive than the AT&T Tilt [TyTN II] even with this VGA screen. Google Maps and Live Search with VGA maps is just amazing.

andrew

im started to get less interested the more i do research for this phone. i would like to think its top notch stuff. but it is slow having a qualcomm 400 and also not being able to read microsdhc. another bad side is the price is too high. they need to redesign it for a slimmer look and more power. THIS PHONE IS REALLY THICK! i dont like having bulky pockets.

Can This Phone Update To window mobile 7 when wm7 is released? or do you have to get a new phone in the future along with window mobile 7?

"400 Qualcomm with VGA,it will be veeery slow" It has a NVIDIA GoForce 5500 graphics accelerator in it, so it shouldn't be slow.

With Windows Mobile 6 built in, it does offer micro sdhc capability.

Peter

Forgot to add that the Kaiser reads microSDHC

Peter

To tawd and Andrew Reading microSDHC is an important point. And I haven't seen I-Mate claim that it does. The only thing that makes me think it might is that it seems to use the same chipset as the Kaiser/AT&T Tilt. A lot of a device's functionality/capability derives from its chipset. It may be that the hardware for the memory card reader is driven from that chipset, so you might expect it to be the same as the Kaiser in this regard. But I'm not sure. If it turned out it couldn't read microSDHC, it would be a big let down.

andrew

to tawd ive been doin some looking around. i dont think it reads microSDHC, if it does i hope you're right. but the more i look the more i see it doesn't support HC. it would make more sense if it said it did. i hope im wrong, cuz if i am i would definetly get this phone instead of he nokia e90

slim

lol@late dec/early jan! its about time alrdy!!

Bassem

Price will be about 950$

Peter

To the guy who said that the 9502 does use microSDHC...How do you know? There are some sites that say so eg pdadb.net, but I think this mainly assumption. The imate site says only microSD. If it was HC wouldn't they say so? It would sound better and maybe get even more interest.

akeem

This is one of the hottest phones I've seen on this website... I think I wanna but this it but I am really afraid that I wont get it activated in Trinidad and Tobago.But I really want thisw phone also I am also afraid that I dont recive it when I order it.Please let me know if it a quad band or Triband and if it works on a 1800-1900 or 850-900 band.

the only thing i see wrong with this perfect phone is that it doesnt read microSDHC. it would be perfect if it did. that way it would hold more memory for multimedia things.

Handset start-up Mobinnova lands smartphone orders from i-mate Daniel Shen, Taipei; Steve Shen, DIGITIMES [Wednesday 24 October 2007] Taiwan-based Mobinnova, a start-up handset maker that reportedly has strong connections with Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry), has landed smartphone orders from Dubai-based handset vendor i-mate, according to market sources in Taiwan. Under the contract, Mobinnova will manufacture two smartphones, the Ultimate 8502 and Ultimate 9502, for i-mate with volume shipments to begin in the first half of 2008, the sources noted. Both models will be built on Qualcomm's MSM 7200 platform and Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6 OS (operating system). In addition, the two smartphones also support GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a QWERTY keyboard. Recently, i-mate switched its orders for smartphones from High Tech Computer (HTC) to Inventec, Arima Communications and China-based TechFaith Wireless. However, some models developed by the three contractors have been delayed, forcing the Dubai-based vendor to team up with a new maker, according to market sources. It appears that Mobinnova has been following the steps of HTC in the development of high-end smartphones based on Windows Mobile OS and chipset solutions from Qualcomm, and that the company is set to compete directly with HTC in the near future, the sources asserted.

i used so far p1i,p990i,p990,a1200,nokia comunicators, my best is jasjar,2nd best is p1i,3rd best is a1200 now decided to end of all changes is 9502!! hope it will not be cancelled and available in kuwait as same time as other countries. accoding to comparrision it is the best for atleast next 5years!! so any one who got it first pls update us lewis

Jen

About how much will this phone costs? and will there be expected problems with it? Looks like a great phone and i would love to get it, but is it worth the expense?

Jon

Yeah i hope they utilize the graphics chip. The tytn is only qvga and i heard its slow. this one definitely needs that graphics accelerator on the qualcomm chipset. *crossing fingers for a january release*

tawd

slim - As far as I know the 7150 was cancelled... It is a shame, because it looked like a pretty good device. narcszm - I hope you're right! And I also hope the 3D accelerator works in this one, unlike the TyTN II.

slim

arghhh i was hoping they would come out mid december...:( but the wait lives on..and whats up with the 7150 is there any plans on that? coz id rather wait for that then..ne 1 that can update me

Go ahead and hold your breath, tawd. Both the Ultimate 8502 and Ultimate 9502 will be available in January.

the authorized imate shop in canada, told me that it wil be in stock in Jan of 08

slim - that's a good question, in fact, everyone is asking that! haha Like I referenced to on the post below, some sites are saying it won't be out until jan/feb/march next year, but I've also found some websites offering a pre-order option for this phone, stating that they'll recieve stock around Dec 26th.. The 9502 is supposed to be officially released in Singapore right about now. Luckily IMate is also largely U.S. oriented, so it's possible that we'll be seeing it available at the end of this month... I'm crossing my fingers, but I have my doubts.

slim

so how long till its out now? its already december 5th and i cant wait:P

tawd

slim - the 9502 does not have an FM radio. You can find the detailed specs of all the ultimate series phones on imate's website.

slim

omg i cant wait till it comes out!! and i heard all the ultimates have fm radio in them.. but this one says it doesnt.. can anyone makesure forsure? lol thanks

tawd

I was browsing some other forums, and came accross this quote from I-Mate... "Dear Sir/Ma'am, Thank you for contacting club i-mate� Technical Support. We highly appreciate the enthusiasm shown. With regards to your query, please be advised that the i-mate� Ultimate 9502's expected time of arrival will be on the first quarter of 2008. In terms of pricing, we haven't got any rough estimates yet. Kindly bear with us for the time being and check back after a couple of months."

The guy who asked about Jamaica... I was there about 5 years ago, and I found that a triband GSM phone worked ok there. The 9502 is quadband GSM. So it should work ok even if only using GSM.

anyone have any experience with Imate's wlan? The phone I have now is so tempermental with the wlan. I hope this phone's hardware is more reliable, and not as much a negotiation like the phone I have now, regarding the wlan.

Can this phone be used in Jamaica and all its features operational (except for the GPS of course)

I dont understand why they dont include a fm radio in every phone. this would be a good fone around 500 dollars like the new sidekick

Hi, to all Singaporeans we are launching our latest product i-mate phones end of this Nov in Singapore. This will be the latest gadjet that will hit the town soon. For more info, subscribe to www.i-mate.sg

Peter

Fantastic specification. I even like the colour and look of it. I want one. The only thing I think it's lacking is a hole for a strap. A strap has saved me dropping my old Atom several times. It would also be good to know if the microSD slot is microSDHC (High Capacity). The Imate specs only say microSD in which case the storage is limited to 2GB. Some people seem to think it's microSDHC (www.pdadb.net included) which I think goes up to 8GB now. I'm hoping it's the latter, but is probably the former. But strap or not, HC or not, I'm getting really sick of waiting for Imate to release something. Due out in December? Yeah, right! Is it some sick game they're playing?

Anonymous

Don't worry, even if it do go bust some other big company will buy them off so you won't be left without assistance. IF they go bust it will be a repeat of Ericsson buyout of Sony. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft buys them out.

no, windows smartphones can be used as just pdas (obviously cannot use phone and text features)

Any OFFICIAL word on pricing yet? I gotta admit that I'm very apprehensive as to whether or not this phone actually is made available - it's basically everything I ever wanted in a phone, minus the missing FM-radio.

GPS, VGA screen, Win mobile 6, Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-fi, 3MP Cam, Qwerty.. All these in one phone? I like to say its not so bulky for all those features. HTC X7500 Advantage has almost similar features.. but that one we can call bulky and heavy. I suggest if ur not goin for this then check out ETEN X800. I'm only worried about the delay of the release date.

It seems to be a great device. Is there also a VGA/XGA support for external PC monitors via VGA cable, not only for PAL NTSC with RGB Cable?

Thanks for explaining to me about the Q4 2007 release concept. I feel much more assured now, especially taken in consideration the positive release progress of the first patch of i-mate Ultimate series back in February. On a more serious note, I'm truly looking forward to 9502's release because it offers the 'missing' VGA display in HTC TyTN II. However, the difference is that TyTN II is already available and i-mate has disappointed us nothing less with the initially announced Ultimate models, which may never see daylight because eight months later they have became 'could be good ideas' from 'would be good ideas'. I seriously hope 9502 does not go down the same path but the odd is against me.

Anonymous

I think it's one of the most complete and most powerful mobile device. Hope it will come to Asia-Pacific soon! Just a bit torn between awaiting for this or buy a HTC TyTN II now...

The only thing I am disappointed about this phone is the lack of FM-Radio... I've found the radio on my Nokia N76 quite useful lately. For all of you who are unsure about the product details, just go directly to the I-Mate website, they have a full product data sheet PDF you can download.

yes we are in the 4q 0f 2007. but if you think about what that means, it will be somewhere around the 4q 0f 2007. it doesn't literally mean that it will be released at the beginning of the 4q.

"Standard battery, Li-Po 1620 mAh Stand-by Up to 180 h Talk time Up to 4 h 20 min" There is smth terribly wrong in the above specification. Either the battery spec is wrong, gsmarena can't calulate the stand by time, or windows media player 6 sucks up battery like a sega gamegear :)

I know i-mate will change the features in future like 262K to 65K like Ultimate 6150. & 3 MP to 2 MP. This PDA is just a PROTOTYPE. & how knows really when it will release? i-mate is the best terrible company in 2007.(Wins Best Terrible Awards)

This is a great phone! the problem is the battery life (due to the high quality screen) I hope there will be a solution to this

tawd

To all of you complaining about the CPU -- how do you know it's slow? What are your comparisons besides the clock frequency? The Qualcomm MSM7200 CPU has more than one core, sporting muliple processor engines that work together to enhance every feature on this phone. It's very similar to that of the Nokia E90/N95 - 3D acceleration, ARM 11 combined with multiple DSP's & ARM 9 processors. The Qualcomm chipset can support full H.264 decoding, 30FPS video recording @ VGA resolution, real-time TV, GPS, 6+ Megapixel Camera capable. It is superior to most phones on the market, and it arguably performs quicker than some higher mhz intel CPU's used in phones because it's an all-in-one unit, everything is integrated, no seperate graphics chipsets to slow things down and increase costs. In my opinion, this looks to be a VERY promising phone - a VGA resolution screen is becoming a MUST for today's phone applications, and this unit certainly has the hardware to support everything on today's software market. ...now let's just see if I-mate changes their mind, again, and again, and again again again again.... i don't know about you guys, but i think they're showcasing yet another phone that looks too good to be true. hopefully they prove me wrong.

DS

well its good but .. only 256K colours on the screen ???? altho it has VGA 640+480 display thats great it would of been then N95 if it had 5MP Camera ! overall its good phone

PcMan

Imate said it will be avaiable this winter! So in the 2008 begin it should be avaiable! Ultimate series N1! gREAT job Imate!

Its not ultimate 9502. It is incomplete 9502 -- no fm radio, no equaliser, no stereo speakers, no 3.5 mm jack

Ash

I think I can guess now when this phone will be out �..Year 2009

Nockia Fob

I dont understand your peoples complaints either... one of the first VGA screen PPCs that its 2.8" and people are complaning that the screen is small? What are we commenting on? A media laptop? Also PSPa... how many PPCs do you know are going to run on Nvidia Mobile soon? IR??? Who the heck uses IR anymore? That is ancient technology. Btw u can also use a phenomenon called bluetooth for a PC remote. Im sure the 3.15MP camera with Autofocus is sufficent for a mobile phone, afterall you are purchasing a PPC... NOT a camera.

Emeka

WTF is wrong with i-mate?? First they cancel the Ultimate 5150 and 9150 that were announced earlier this year and now this. Aren't this the same 4ckers that have previous ultimate versions (8150,7150) that are still in the 'coming soon' category and were announced as early as February 2007?? i-mate needs to stop show-casing concept phones with excellent features but should actually come out with real phones. Showing us your intents and not actually manufacturing them only reduces your credibility. Take cue from Nokia and even apple (although I think Steve Job screwed up on the apple iphone) but atleast the iphone is a reality and not some futuristic plan that will be aborted later on.

raju

9502 is nice phone.

☺☻With IR, you can use PPCs as remote control...☺☻

i think the 7150 which i was also looking forward to is out. this one is real and there is some references to it in wyclef new viedeo but that is not true - it was the sonydevice which is not even aphone.

scott

Sick phone, like a sidekick but on steriods unsure if it has fm radio which I think was initially anticpated which would top this phone off. I like this better than iphone I have jasjar now and am excited about upgrade wish t mobile would get 3g already though so this would work for me.

Henning

To all of you who are complaining about ANY phone on this site. Let you design and build your phone better than this PPC phone! Then I can give you also NEGATIVE and SLUGGISH comments! The best ever phone that can stand the test of durability and performance was the Nokia 6310i. I still use it as back up when my PPC phone goes down. I even use my Jornada 720 HPC to write this message and use the Nokia for a modem to proof ALL you guys wrong. Once this device is on the street,there will be a heck of guys and girls who will go for it and then the comments will be: to small camera,speed to low for internet,too big for pocket,and even the screen quality is lowsy for videos. Common people,if you want to have all your favorite features in ONE phone,it will NEVER happen in your life time. 0944 7763113535

Does it transform to Humvee with Laser Guided Cruise Missiles too? Geez! This fone is wicked! Love it

Cymbalrocks

I think imate is serious this time about the release. They have completely revamped their website and two additional ultimate sets are also being released, the 6150 and 8150. Check it out at www.imate.com.

Cymbalrocks

I'm guessing its going to be priced in at north of USD 900 to begin with. As far as battery and standby is concerned, the battery has slightly more capacity than the E61i's 1500maH but lets not forget the larger screen and VGA display in play in here. More juice would mean an even larger battery and probably jack the weight of hte phone as well which, at 200g is already pretty hefty.

simon

Nice phones (9502, 8502) but I can't help but be sceptical about the latest announcement from imate about these new phones "coming soon". What happenned to all the other Ultimate phones announced in February this year we have all been waiting for which still haven't still haven't appeared on the market (5150,7150,9150)?!! Imate need keep all their loyal customers better informed otherwise they will go elsewhere! But what I would like to see is a form factor like the iphone (3.5 inch touch screen without keyboard), 5 mgp camera, 3G etc but running WM6. The closest imate product to this would be the Ultimate 7150 (unfortunately with a keyboard) but there are now rumours this phone has been cancelled.

This PDA is not so good. It doesn't support: HSCSD, Infrared port, Geforce Mobile, Radio, SRS Mobile effects. The CPU speed is low.(@ least must be 520 MHz) Also the monitor quality must be 16M color instead of 262K like iPhone. & I hate the black color. I ♥ silver color for any portable devices.

The Display size is too small. Not easy to read text. Now a day mobile device tend to have big screen!

The only problem with i-mate is just releasing too many models but NOTHING comes out. Look at the first release of Ultimate models, until now it remains a dream. Again, new Ultimate models. For sure 9502 will be available in 2-3 years or so.

Well well well it looks like there is a new kid on the block! Let's hope it can get off the block and into people's houses! The Ultimate '150 series promised so much but to this date has not been released. I hope i-mate can release this one before Christmas. This device is an obvious challenge to HTC's TyTN II. Yet it attempts to steal TyTN's thunder. It betters TyTN II in that it has VGA res, 262144 colour palette and TV out! The question is will it give fast, dynamic and reliable (FDR) operation or will there be endless lags. TyTN II though only QVGA res gives FDR operation. That is what people want. Have i-mate bitten off more than they can chew? The proof of the pudding is in the eating!!
