The i-mate Pdal is a raw deal as it hangs easily, callers have difficulty in getting thru to you esp if you are on GPRS mode.Disabling GPRS facility however will stabilize the phone but then u do not have internet! The camera is atrocious compared to the HTC S710 or HTC Touch, let alone the Sony Erikson or Nokia camera phones. MP3 player is basic. Touchscreen keyboard is a pain.

this is an excellent phone. I purchased this about a month ago and except for the fact that it doesnt have a key pad ( i sure miss it), there’s absolutely no flaw in it!

its wi-fi enabled, synchs with your office network in a jiff,can manage multiple e-mail accounts, has a memory expansion slot, supports all office applications (including editing of excel sheets), has handwirting recognition which is really addictive….a fully loaded phone.

the battery life is good, but the mobile IE is really slow. you may want to download opera for a better+more cost effective experience.

the camera (though its 2 MP) is poor..the picutre are not really good. the video recording is only for namesake-it hardly records anything clearly.

all in all, in case you are looking for a fun phone then this is not for you…better get an iPhone. but if you want a fully functional PDA phone, this is perhaps the most economical yet feature rich option available.

1. Nicely Done Outlook of the Phone.
2. Goood Battery backup. Upto 7 hours talk-time on a stretch. Wi-Fi usage for about 5-6 hours make it last nearly 1.5 days.
3. Its windows mobile so it has hell load features and cutomizations you can nudge with.
4. Hand Writing recognition.
5. Good Camera. 2Mega Pixels.
6. 15,000 InDian Rupees.
Flaws:
1. you cannot connect it to a Linux machine, quite Obviously but i miss doing that.
2. A Bit sluggish at tuimes, when it is loaded with applications, the memory where applications keep running is irritating at times, but if you make it a habbit of cleaning the memory after a few idle hours, you can enjoy the speed.

Hey, Is the Handwriting recognition of the phone is good. Does it recogonizes continuous text? Because in Nokia N95 recoganizing is not fair

Dude,

MP3 quality is awe-some as it has windows media player, for a beginer it takes some time to understand the features of it.
if GPRS does’nt conenct to internet then there is DATA-Plan from HUTCH which makes it possible to connect.

In three months time the touchscreen is less sensitive and in the upper 1/3rd screen u have to press above the point at which u want to click.
It does not connect to GPRS/internet as Hutch in India refuses to provide setting.
imate.com refuses to provide access as the imei no. is not recognised by it.
Numerous problem at this price. I wonder why one should spend to purchase such a piece of shit.

I just bought this phone yesteday. It is a very good phone…The feature I liked about this phone is the Wi-Fi part and it has the ablitiy to connect to the internet automatically if you connect it to the computer…The navigation is good…There is one problem with this device. You open an application, run it and then close…Tough it has closed at the front end but it keeps running at the back end. I manually have to go to settings > Memory to close the app..

Aprt from the the phone is fantastic! The india price is about Rs. 20,000 INR.

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. i couldnt possibly think of why anyone would buy a phone like this WITHOUT a keyboard. i-mate might as well write this one off as a loss.
