I waited too long for imate to release this phone. I ended up buying a Nokia E90. So far it's been fine.. I'm concerned by the time imate releases the 8150 the features will be outdated.. a 2meg camera, 3g, and a fm radio would have been great last year..

The phone looks great. I hope i-mate have sorted out their build quality. My i-mate SP-5 has had the joystick fail, and then the keypad failed. The keypad has now failed for a second time. Not impressed.

What's the difference between 8150 and 6150 besides the obvious (the number keys and 2.6 vs 2.8 screen size)? I don't really see the difference. Why would I pay more for 8150 assuming 8150 probably be cost more although we don't know the price yet. Can someone tell me?

The guys who complain about camera need to understand this is the phone which is aimed at executive market. Camera is just there to add some pic taking functionality. This device is about a very strong PDA with great connectivity and phone capability. And for that this will be great.

JR, when I talked of underpowered cam and video I was referring to the fact that camera phones need 3.2MP to produce printable photos. 8150's 2MP is substandard. Secondly to produce clear smooth videos one needs VGA resolution at 30fps.

To fuNg:
Hi, What do you mean by underpowered video and camera? Poor display quality, jerky playback, can play only low res low bitrate videos, other? Please tell us more.
Thanx a lot.

Is it just me, or does the color of this phone look cream or slightly gold. I even looked at the you tube spot on the 5150 and it looked kinda gold. Just wondering what you guys think.

8150 and 6150; what's the difference? Note the video and camera are underpowered in all i-mate models. Why bother including them if the spec is not up to contemporary standards. This phone is no longer just a PDA, it is a multifunctional convergence device, and YES, GPS has become a consumer crave. Can i-mate afford to ignore it??

Well...we seem to have gone from 94mmx50mmx11mm to 118mmx60mmx18mm or about 150% larger than originally reported.

Still not a bad looking phone and it's certainly nice to have a decent screen with a physical keypad. But my wallet's going back in my pocket on this one. Too bad.
