Bloody i-mate PDAL, this dame model has umpteen problems, honestly it hasn’t gone through very basic lab test although has fabulous attraction over other models, what a big fun.
- Noisy, hard to listen. po.pe..pa.pr..
- Speaker hardly audible at max volume
- SMS stops coming in all of sudden
- Does not recognize all SIMs at UK.
- IMEA out of range, no useful error report,
- Imate-configurator supported only in I-mate device, works after reboot
- ActiveSync, sucks … changes what not..
- Blue-screen…the symbol of Microsoft, weeps often
- Horrible service in India
- plus many more
But good it could serve as very basic phone, just dial, try not to do anything else….

i have bought it two months back & it's really working good, i have downloaded many software in it and havn't got any problem till now,hard to understand why people have given so many negative feedbacks about PDAL.think logicall you go the market to buy a mobile you spend $350-$400 & u get a nokia/sony erricson/samsung handsets with the basic features....but in the same price u can get this device that suppots every software, so many features,nice looking handy PDA....go for it.

Ok, when i first got my PDAL i was really excited and happy with it, after a few months, the PDAL started screwing with me; it freezes whenever it wants, when someone calls, it freezes, when i try to open a program it freezes. I rebooted it like a million times and i still have the problem. My advice, dont buy it, it stinks big time.

Do not buy imate products in India. Their service is terrible. I tried resolving my problem with the touch screen of the PDAL and despite my repeated efforts at reaching them, they have not been bale to resolve them. And nor are they offering a replacement to the phone, especially given that their support centre has acknowledged that there are problems with the imate PDAL

I'd give it a 8/10 based that I paid $340 for it. I am a long time Ipaq owner and have been tweaking Windows CE/2003/Mobile for a while. I am aware of the limitations and this phone has many of them. The first thing you need to install is a program manager that let's you close applications easily. I use Magic Button. It's a bit old but does the job very nicely. Next, remove I-Mate configurator from start up if you don't use it. It stops nagging about operator names and probably saves some memory too. When you have closing programs down sorted out the phone becomes a lot more usable as a PDA. Now I have to admit, the phone interface is ok but I can see straight away that buttons would be good. I have not had any issues with the touch screen yet and even with my big thumbs, but it just doesn't feel right.

As a PDA it is slow, but the size and communications capabilities make up for that. I use TomTom Navigator 5 and it copes nicely while on the phone! Even Skype works well.

Now the things I don't like...... The video capture is poor. Stills are OK but you won't be throwing away your digital camera. Playing back video in Media player is awful. MP3's are OK. It also lacks a backup utility. Now for what I hate the most.... ready?... the finish is slippery and I know that I will be dropping it all over the place.

All in all I am pleased with it and would certainly buy it again. If you are not an Windows Mobile/PDA user this may not be true for you. From what I've seen of the I-Phone it is not anywhere as elegant. The big plus is all my Windows Pocket PC apps work.
