The delay to this phone is going to prove a real problem for imate. What started as a fantastic spec is beginning to lose ground against other newer model like the LG Viewty, iPhone etc. Sorry imate but I am now looking elsewhere!

G5jg may be correct. I-mate may have cancelled the phone. If one peruses this site http://clubimate.com/t-devicedetails.aspx there is no mention of 7150 Ultimate although 6150 and 8150 are detailed. I tried the search function but it came to no avail. Furthermore i-mate have altered specs for the series. The colour palette is now only 65K and the processor has been changed from IntelBulverde to XScale.

Yes, I can believe that I-mate divorced HTC probably on the groundsof irreconcilable differences!! I-mate decided to be adventurous and stretch the technical boundaries whilst HTC resolved to be conservative. One has only to peruse HTC'S TyTN II to see the dramatic dichotomy. I-mate implements more colour depth: 262K vs 65K. I-mate offers vivid VGA screens even on the 2.6 inch screen 8150 Ultimate. There is no HTC phone which has a three inch or less screen that has VGA res. XGA video out and FM radio are welcome additions on the I-mate. Too many of HTC'S products lack these features. Furthermore the I-mate has a faster and superior processor.

HTC used to produce i-mate, qtek, 02 (and more) but just recently i-mate left HTC. after leaving HTC, i-mate started producing a new series they called ultimate.
Want proof? look at old i-mate devices and compare them to old HTC devices. They are the SAME.

OK to clarify, HTC does not produce this product. Another company does, Since HTC has started producing its own brand and selling them directly to the market without any branding (re: Imate). Imate has been forced to look for other Original Developer Manufacturer.(ODM's) ie Quanta etc.

It also explains why the IMATE Ultimate series is so designwise so different to HTC's other products.

Is it true that HTC are the makers of i-mate?? If they are then it is obvious why the i-mate Ultimate series has not been released yet. HTC do not want competition with HTC TyTN, Shift and Advantage models. They want to test the market with these models before bringing out the "cavalry" ie the all powerful i-mate. The Ultimate series are still mouth watering because you receive lovely VGA resolution in relatively small screens. This is coupled to a fast reliable processor. I believe that this phone has a better spec than HTC TyTN II and I would rather have the 7150 any day!!

still they need to improve in this phone is Edge class like 296kbps, because most people will use this as substitute of laptop while travelling & 3G & HSDPA are not in many countries but edge in many countries. Now Nokia & Samsung are giving 296kbps slot in expensive models so if they want to give complete phone than must give 2.5G.

i hope that this imate phone will not going to have so much problems like the imate phones that has been released before. it has a very nice feature you can use but a little bit bulky.
