Just got mine a couple of days ago. Wasnt even aware that it had been released as there didnt seem to be much posted about it on the internet. Have been waiting for it since the firt glimpse back in Feb. It was worth the wait in my opinion. One thing i noticed different is not having to save music files to windows sounds to be able to use them as ringtomes. It automatically searches entire device for suitable files. The biggest drawback that I can see is the inability to sync files via folder on desktop. To add files to device you have to browse the device and drag and drop where you want them. Imate got it right with this one......

Finally! It's about time someone introduced a current Windows Smartphone, and I'm not surprised it was i-mate. I work for a technology business and we are contstantly testing phone/pda devices and this is hands down my favorite. If you're someone who needs to stay on top of e-mail from anywhere, but who only needs to send just a few messages via your phone, then this is hands down your best pick. The screen, keys, phone quality, speed, are all pretty good. Not the best, but better than simply 'acceptable.' Putting it all together in this form factor (very similar to a Razr) makes it one great "total package" for those of us who don't want the bulk of a full size keyboard.

First impression--Great. I personally like flips. I needed a business phone but not the bulk. Needed the slim. This phone provided this and then some. DONT FORGET PEOPLE...ITS A PHONE. You do not need a high res camera on a phone much less a camer on a phone. You dont need WiFi because if you do, chances are you will have a laptop with you. What else do you wanna do with a phone...have it do brain surgery??? Though a drawback that it runs a Microsoft OS but its still a phone that can make calls anywhere in the world, with a few luxuries that will make your life easier. Consealing it is easy. Overall 8.5 out of 10.

I was waiting for this phone anxiously. I got it as soon as it was out. I have it. It has been with me now for the past 2 weeks. Excellent design, Good windows 5. But I have to say that the 200 MHz processor is a big disappointment. The machine is slow. Some applications freezes and give an error message. You would have to soft rest the phone. In smart phone OS MS you would have to turn off and on again. Higher processor would have been an excellent job. Also Wifi would have made it a KILLER GSM PHONE.

The screen resolution is good, but could we have this phone with 2.8 inch screen instead of 2.2? Also, I'm not sure the keypad is comfortable, I think it could be better (see SE phones).

I think it is a brilliant phone. Wifi is for PDA and laptops. This is a phone that you can slide in your pocket and go. Yet, full of options.

Great to see Imate adding a flip option to their growing range of products. I agree with Seif's post. Nice to see someone thinking outside the square, WiFi is a brilliant idea to allow email access from web cafe's while roaming - at the same time avoiding those expensive roaming prices, or limiting them at least. I work in a telecommunications retail business, and have yet to have a customer request a mobile that can run Quake IV. In my humble opinion this is another great tool from Imate - for those that need a light and sleek mobile method to allow for calls, emails and synchronisable organisation. Simple.

If this phone comes with WiFi, that's it. what else a man could possibly ask for. You have it all. Flip,Microsoft with all its goodies,WiFi and above all looks like the revolutionary Razer phone. Excellent Job.

Its a nice looking phone.
Common think about it. Its not going to play quake 4 or anything. The windows system just allows it to do a few extra things. You dont need wifi. A laptop is for that. Its a phone for gods sake. Aslong as it has big butotns I dont care.

I love Imate. I actually sent them a message to tell them that they should invest in Clamshell design. I love flip phones+Microsoft. and this combination has been very hard to find. only MPX200 Motorola and the MPX220. but they seem to be people that listen and want to progress. I can not belive they came up with it. It is my phone. I will buy it as soon as it is out. Not only my but most of my freinds too.
