All of the innovative designs and aesthetics are happening on the Smartphone edition side of the fence (like the Moto Q and Q9). The HTC Touch is a joke - it's a puny, lethargic perfoming iPhone wannabe. When will we see a landscape QWERTY form factor device with a large VGA screen, slim/sleek design, running WinMob Pro? If someone could take the Nokia E61i, flash Windows Mobile Pro on it, add a VGA touch screen, that would make a killer Smartphone.

And I speak as a raving iPhone fanboy. I love my iPhone, but I love competition and choices more. And right now, for me, there's iPhone and....nothing else. ]]>Jul 14th 2007 5:29PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/Jul 14th 2007 7:41PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/Jul 14th 2007 9:23PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/
Yes, the Touch is small. TOO small. The display is only 2.8" and Windows Mobile doesn't scale well to such a small display. Apple hit the sweet spot for a touchscreen experience - 3.5". As I said, if someone would build a similar device with a 3.5" VGA display, it would be worth owning. As it stands now Windows Mobile devices don't offer a credible experience, OS issues aside.]]>Jul 15th 2007 7:36AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/That is exactly my first thought when I saw this. iMate quite possibly makes the ugliest devices...maybe they think the 80's are coming back!]]>Jul 14th 2007 6:57PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/Jul 14th 2007 10:24PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/
If given the chance to buy an Imate product, just walk away. If you don't believe me, you can peruse the xda-developers website. ]]>Jul 15th 2007 2:30PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/
Bought a Jasjar (ridiculous name) here in the Middle East and while the unit which is made by HTC isn't too bad, the support is brutal.

One more thing. It seems all other, most anyway, are offering free upgrades to the Universal (jasjar) but not imate.

First and last Imate product. Based in the Middle East. Middle East and customer service seems to be an oxymoron.]]>Jul 15th 2007 2:32PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/Jul 29th 2007 10:01AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/14/i-mate-ultimate-6150-catches-fcc-on-a-good-day/Jul 20th 2007 12:17AM
