Comments on: CES 2008: Meeting With i-mate http://www.geardiary.com/2008/01/14/ces-2008-meeting-with-i-mate/ Everyone can understand technology; sometimes it just takes a little translating. Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:16:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Stewarthttp://www.geardiary.com/2008/01/14/ces-2008-meeting-with-i-mate/#comment-31053 Stewart Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:35:21 +0000 http://www.geardiary.com/2008/01/14/ces-2008-meeting-with-i-mate/#comment-31053 After a very disappointing experience with a Palm TX I purchased the i-mate Ultimate 9502 after much research into many such devices. I’ve always stayed away from the all in one PDA/Phones due to seeing how badly they operate and shortness of battery life, for some reason the 9502 just did it for me! HanDBase software that I use (Database software) easily converted to the new operating system with only a minor adjustment for the screen size. Overall the 9502 seems robust unlike my old Palm. I did miss the screen size of the Palm TX but that’s no longer a concern because this phone is just awesome. Well recommended but do look into your requirements and compare models for what you need. One point I did notice is that it can run very sluggish, I have recently learned to go into Settings / System / Memory and close down any running programs I do not need. Sounds like a lot to do but once you get the hang of it, it’s very quick to do. Regards Stew.

Sin embargo en el CES Las Vegas, evento no destinado especialmente a los dispositivos móviles sino a la electrónica en general, uno de los visitantes tuvo la ocasión de charlar con la gente de iMate, fotografiando entre otros a un par de dispositivos que sin duda llaman la atención por características y por su form factor y sacándoles las características técnicas de cada uno de ellos.El primero de ellos es el 8502, al más puro estilo BlackBerry con su teclado QWERTY, con receptor GPS integrado, procesador Qualcomm a 400Mhz, 256/128MB de ROM/RAM, WiFi, Bluetooth y pantalla qVGA. El 9502, dispositivo que recuerda en cierta forma a algunos móviles de la serie N de Nokia, incluye un curioso teclado que se muestra deslizando la pantalla, quedando el micrófono y botonera fijos. Siendo el primer dispositivo con este diseño falta conocer si realmente resulta útil, aún así sus características ya lo hacen muy apetecible de por sí: Procesador Qualcomm a 400Mhz, WiFi, Bluetooth, 128/256MB de RAM/ROM, GPS integrado, pantalla VGA y cámara de 3MP con auto focus.Esperando que iMate no tenga más problemas en la fabricación de dispositivos, y esperando también que se mejore la distribución en el contienente europeo sólo queda recomendar leer la noticia original, aquí [...]

I am really impressed with it sofar! Its quick, good RF & compact .. does almost everything as S60! My contract will be up in February with AT&T and I was thinking of trying something different as well. I have never tried the WM6 Standard since I always preferred the touch screen Professional verison, so I figured that could be a start. I had been looking at the Moto Q9 Global but online reviews from other forums and sites are mixed. I am close to holding on to my Nokia E90 and not even being concerned about my upgrade credit, but I came across an article from geardiary on the iMate Ultimate line.
