Smartphone maker i-mate has announced two high-speed Windows Mobile handsets to be released exclusively on Telstra's Next G Network.
The i-mate Ultimate 8502 and 9502 will be released by Telstra in early March and will feature 7.2Mbps HSDPA downloads and 1.9Mbps uplink speeds, making the devices Australia's first commercially released HSUPA smartphone handsets.

Recommended retail pricing for the Ultimate 8502 is AU$999 and the Ultimate 9502 is expected to sell for AU$1,099.

Sorry, need a little correction there. I-mate is not a phone "maker". It's a phone resaler. The phones are also being released by HTC, who are the actual makers of the phones.

Jimmy, I think somone needs to correct you there. Do a few google searches and you will soon realise that I-mate left HTC a long time ago. I-mate do now make their own phones (I am well aware they outsource parts etc). The phone is not made by HTC and HTC are not the actual makers of the phone. HTC are not putting out there own version of it.
