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 decide 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.

> In reply to hilal @ 2008-06-18 07:42 from pF4VIf you mean, hardware qwerty, NO. it doesnt have. But it doesn't mean its not user-friendly, the presence of the number pad with joystick is really cool, and easy to get used to. However, as common to all windows mobile, it has the screen qwerty. I hope its clear.

its a great device its ok yes the batterie does not serve you for a long but this is normal comparing to it features and speed,
comon guys its a full PC in your pocket as simply as it is, be nice with and deal with your device as you're dealing with your "fiance" and you'll be fine just be nice with it.

however, this huge processing power consumes batteries quickly, so I won't be surprised if this device cannot complete the day without recharging.

More on battery life: I seem to get more battery life when network setting on phone is GSM. Appears to be 3G that runs the battery down. One problem, signal on GSM is terrible. Often there is no signal where my previous PDA would have no problem. Of course, the selling point for this PDA is 3G data service, but with current battery life this unusable. Also switching networks appears simple, but often doesn't work.

Is the paint used in it the same as the other imates/htcs that easily flakes off?

This would be a great phone/PDA but for a couple of drawbacks. When the battery is flat it won't charge from the USB port. Just hangs. Battery life is terrible. My new 8150 gets about 30hrs from a full charge with no activity on the phone whatsoever. Moderate activity, brings this down to under 20 hours. For international flights this means fully charged in Sydney and your phone won't work when you get to London. Not much point in a phone that will stream internet video, but needs recharging every few hours.
