The iMate Hummer has made an appearance over at the Boy Genius Report. Like the vehicle, it certainly won't be winning any beauty contests. This is a rugged hard-wearing device running Windows Mobile Standard and has a waterproof metal-alloy case. WiF...
We've just added our review of the i-Mate JAMA 101. It's a tough little Windows Mobile 6 Pro phone which is currently selling for £199.95 off-contract. Equipped with a 2 megapixel camera, microSD slot and Bluetooth 1.2, we've perhaps seen higher spe...
Just yesterday i-Mate announced the launch of two new handsets - the Ultimate 8502 and the Ultimate 9502. However, there's other i-Mate devices out there, and we decided to take a look at this - the JAMA 101. It's a dinky device and is pretty much the...

Things have been a little quiet of late but there is good reason. You'll already have seen the HTC Touch Dual and SanDisk 6Gb MicroSD card reviews and now, just for you, we've got yet another review. The iMate Ultimate range appears on the newly desig...
Last night I had a play with the iMate Ultimate 8150. Now, although the design and build of this handset aren't totally to my taste (more in the upcoming review), you can't argue with the specs. A 520Mhz CPU, WiFi, loads of memory and storage space, F...

We like the i-Mate Smartflip. We really, really like the i-Mate Smartflip. No, we love it. We love the i-Mate Smartflip. If this device doesn't get badged up by several major networks I'll eat my hat. So here, for the first time anywhere, is a video o...
The i-Mate Smartflip / HTC Star Trek is the device that has caused quite a stir recently. Now there's some excellent pictures here at Phonescoop. I like this device, I really do. It's wafer thin - check this shot in particular and it's got a keyboard ...
I'm just wading through my email and stumbled across a link for the i-Mate SP5m at Smartphonethoughts. Here's a taster... "The i-mate SP5m is the first of its kind to hit the street; a Windows Mobile Smartphone with WiFi built-in! Don't be fooled by i...
As I've been busy beavering away on Orange SPV M5000 and o2 XDA Exec reviews I neglected to mention the iMate SP5m review over at SmartPhoneThoughts. If you're after a Windows Smartphone with a mega-pixel camera, hi-res screen, Windows Mobile 5.0, WiF...
Has anyone got about 600 quid right now ? It appears that a lot of people have, because - as I type - the number of "available handsets" showing on this expansys.com page have dropped from 877 to 866 !! If you're wadded (loaded / minted / in …
Expansys, the online retailer of network-free handsets, have now put the HTC Wizard onto their site here in the shape of the iMate K-JAM for about £490 or £255 with a Vodafone contract. This comes just a day after they put the i-mate JASJAR (AKA SPV...

Ahh - so it appears that our story last month was correct and the i-Mate Smartphone 3 (which is a re-badged C500 handset) is correct. This means that the new handset built by HTC will be known as the Orange SPV C500, Qtek 8010, DoPOD 565 AND the …
