i-mate Ultimate 8502 Preview

 

i-mate's Ultimate series is based on Windows Mobile 6.0 and it is targeting exclusively the prosumers. The main thing that distinguishes the separate models is the design and they are slightly different in functionality. 8502 the model we are...

i-mate Ultimate 8502

 

With its smaller size, better connectivity and improved battery life, the Ultimate 8502 is the excellent smartphone the previous i-mates were so close to being.

Excellent connectivity including HSPA, GPS and Wi-Fi, Slim and solid build, TV-out Telstra services including Foxtel

Tiny QWERTY keyboard, Lower resolution display compared to previous i-mates

Expert Review

 

Long battery life and superb WiFi range are the 8502's strongest positives. It also packs a great LCD screen. In the end, this i-mate only struggles because of its laggy performance and keypad.

Bright and responsive touchscreen LCD, good battery life, long WiFi range

Laggy performance, keypad is difficult to use if you’ve got chubby fingers

As the second of its enterprise series of Windows Mobile devices, the i-mate 8502 eschews the aesthetic element in favor of function.

i-mate Ultimate 8502

 

This Ultimate not only brings a new look to the i-mate but also offers enhanced features.

The i-mate Ultimate 8502 is available for Rs 39,550, which is rather more than others in its category. Overall it scores over the rest of the i-mates available in the market, thanks to its increased processor speed, features, and build quality. All...

i-mate Ultimate 8502

 

The first HSPA smartphone released in Australia may also be the best Windows Mobile available to date.

Excellent connectivity including HSPA, GPS and Wi-Fi. Slim and solid build. TV-out. Telstra services including Foxtel.

Tiny QWERTY keyboard. Lower resolution display compared to previous i-mates.

With its smaller size, better connectivity and improved battery life, the Ultimate 8502 is the excellent smartphone the previous i-mates were so close to being.

FIRST LOOK: i-mate Ultimate 8502

 

It won't win any awards in the looks department it's rather bulky and large for a phone - but looks aren't everything in the mobile phone industry, unless you're Apple.

There are quite a few features to learn, and we found ourselves wishing the instructions were more detailed. A 2MP camera is hardly amazing, but good for happy snappers
