guys i'm using this Imate 8150 since i got it (3 month back) and i'm ok with the result, don't forget that you're having a full PC in a small device, sure we're gonna face some problems but not to compare by all other benefits, i just like it.

Hi, but i've read that this device comes with GeForce 5500 Graphics accelerator..

i guess the performance of this device is great in processing power(520 MHz) and gaming..

however, this huge processing power consumes batteries quickly, so i won't be surprised if this device cannot complete a day without recharging!

Ok...I think its now time to decide on what to buy. I read most of the comments here and appears to me nobody is satisfied with this phone. You cant expect much from a Chinese Techfaith device , rebranded here as Imate 8150. I got to compare this phone with the HTC Tytn II which are almost in the same price range(Tytn 2 is cheaper)in Iran. They are just not comparable. The first time I turned this device on, it stopped responding. I managed to get it running after unplugging the battery and reinstalling again . Thats my first impression. The diplay is not as bright as the Tytn. Thats the second impression. I decided to forget about my third and fourth impression and go for the TYTN 2. I have that now and its an amazing piece of machinery. Sorry Imate, you really blew it this time.

to Sean :

Check the processor on the Mio A720. Thats an old , slow processor.

Hi,
I bought this device, and I knew for this problem with battery. But, this is definitely software problem, not hardware. I had lot of devices (WM2003-wm6) and this type of battery can't be so bad on this processor. This is the same machine like qtek 9000, and I had battery with lot of usage (talk and surf)for minimum 2 days. Well, i-mate promissed that during february will be battery patch.

Very good device, but problem is with keyboard, there is no keyboard drivers, and there is T9 installed and I can't remove this (if I remove T9 there is no letters, only numbers) :-) Hope it will be fixed in next WM6 (this is very buggy).

Well, only software seems to be bad, hardware is very good.

best regards

Be careful,don't do the same mistake , i did buy the 8150 Ultimate for 1100$ in Lebanon , i didn't ask myself why they didn't put the standby time and talk time for the batterie, you can talk for just 40 minutes and standby time 10hours only without talking . and other thing the divice don't turn off the light, you have to turn off the device for saving batt..

Leb, let me know if you find one. Same situation here. Here is what I found. I am in the US and using ATT.

X800 glofiish no good, too many driver problems
HTC, just too many driver problems and I have an HTC tilt right now and it is sloow, real slow, not worth it
I am thinking about the MITAC MIO A720, read some bad some good, but everything compared nothing too bad overall, I just with it had hsdpa support, but for me it reall has everything else I need and is not too expensive, if cound it cheap at plemix and a few other places, I will look in here to see if you ahve any suggestions

Please someone I need your help!
I have been going through this website almost everyday for hours trying to find the perfect phone- I can't seem to!!
But so far, i find the features and desging of this specific phone (because of it having a keypad and touchscreen) excellent, but whats important is the performance.
If anyone is out there that can tell me how the performace of it is (eg. if it freezes, etc) let me know. If it does I guess its a Blackberry im getting..

Nice looking phone. features are great. If only this phone can deliver the features. Freezes regularly. calls from the phone buttons sometimes dont work. Lousy lousy battery life. Please Please if you want to avoid the frustrations this phone will cause stay away. All my friends including myself have returned it after a day r two. Shame Imate you guys dont seem to learn that you should sell your phones before removing the bugs in them. You should learn from HTC they are making great and high quality phones. I rank it as a 2 out of 10. The same goes for the 6150. I returned that last week.

Ever since i-mate broke ties with HTC and started re-branding chinese phones, its been going downhill. I have tried a few jama's, and they all suck. I wont buy this phone until i get to see others comment on it first.

this phone is outdated already, how much more if it will be released in a month max as pcman says! dude whats the deal with all your exclamation points!! are you mad or something!! The other poster was just giving people here an option aside from the 8150! I think the asus p750 will be released before the 8150. No thanks IMATE, you guys lagged on this one.. You will have the same outcome as the BenQ P50, good idea, but took too long to release..
