More i-mate reviews , RRP: AU$1099.00

The good:

  • A myriad of features
  • 2.8-inch VGA Touch screen
  • HSPA data speeds
  • Long battery life

The bad:

  • Exclusive to Telstra
  • Windows Mobile 6 can be slow
  • HSPA speeds less than Telstra promised

The bottomline:

The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is one of the best smartphones we have come across -- and if you're happy with Telstra -- the i-mate 9502 makes an excellent alternative to a Blackberry or iPhone.
