every pocket pc have their own shortcomings. with regards to this ppc imate 8150, i have been using this for 3 months and it works just fine. here are what i have noticed:
CAMERA- the thing i love from this phone is the macro capability of the camera, however, the autolight adjustment is the problem. it doesn't adjust light in darker places. hence, you will be able to take a good clear picture in well lit places.
BATTERY- battery wen on standby mode runs up to a week! you won't believe it but i tested it! i added some advance configuration from xdadev and some adjustments to the power settings as well as unchecked the receive data in incoming. i even tried it playing mp3's and works just fine. but IN NORMAL USE, BATTERY RUNS 2 DAYS MAX, CALLING & TEXTING.
SPEED/CONNECTION- this phone runs fast. however, due to its high resolution screen. it automatically adjusts its speed when it should use more or not.i have tested 8150's Wifi and its fast, used it in browsing using "Oper@" browser (cant use d entire word) for ppc.
SCREEN- one of the best things i also like is the VGA SCREEN of this ppc! it has clear distinct sharp LCD for graphics.
APPLICATIONS- there are hundreds of useful applications for pocket pc! and few of those are medical dictionary, nursing books, browser and a lot more!
XGA OUT- on of the best feature this phone have and one to beat! try it yourself in a projector or LCD monitor.
THINGS I HATE-
1. long respond time every time i turn on the phone from its standby mode.
2. no update driver for the graphics processor. nvidia should have updated!
3. back cover lock if not taken care of easily peals of.
SO FAR THATS ALL...

i have been using this 8150 for the past 2 months...no probs at all...even the battery issue is not coming up....just use the Stand-By mode always, so that the screen gets switched off and battery is saved...u wont believe it, but my 8150 ran without charging for 3 full days!!...it all depends on how much time u use it..only issue i found was that it hangs at times when no range is found...just hangs!!..cant press n activate any button..only solution that time is to remove the battery n restart it...sob..sob.. :((

Dear all i-mate user, especially the ultimate 8150 user.
I've bought this phone about 4 months ago in Indonesia, but now i've got a problem with the battery casing in the back. It won't closed good enough with the phone. After i examine the problem, it seems some of the glue that attached between the hook and the casing is peeling off. Then i started to put more glue again to make the hook and the casing attached again, but after 2 days, the glue started to peeling off again.
I've already contact the local dealer regarding the new battery casing, but they said they didn't have one.
Any suggestion?
Thanks & Regards...

Well I bought this machine in Dec 2007 with the hope that I will remain Imate user as since 5 years,
but its really hopeless machine, there are many problems but I am mentioning about main here,
1, Very low sound for bluetooth headset,
2, Poor battery life,
3, While the device is on it receives the miss calls sms from provider,
4, Some times it does not receives the call/sms and u know when the other party catch u with other medium,
5, the most danger is Sameer Kodak Support in KSA.
You are buying expensive machine and you will get no good support coz no Imate in KSA.

I bought this machine, and yes its a machine a few weeks ago. Works well, battery life is not good but if you adjust brightness, the battery life increases as well. A bti expensive but overall a great business solution.

guys,, i live here in the Philippines and i have this phone. you know what, its so bulky, that u cant even put it in your pocket. battery life is short. camera is not that good. but when it comes to browsing the web, its cool.. i mean its fast enough. my only problem with this thing is that i cant maximize the phone's capacity. my network provider, Globe, Telecom, is not supported by i-mate, that is why i cant set-up my mms and gprs. i tried to email i-mate tech support for them to help me but i got no response. anyway, this i-mate ultimate 8150 is just a gift for passing nursing licensure exam. good thing im not the one who spent or rather wasted money on this thing.
