Hi,
Anyone tested Blackberry Connect on it ? For those curious you can download the BBC client from sems.org. The only thing I am waiting for is a confirmation from someone that Blackberry Connect works on this.
Thanks,
HC

Yet again, this morning my alarm did not go off??!!
Also my battery went down from a fully charged battery to about 59% in 6 hours (phone was not being used and no apps active).

Well, the alarm issue has nothing to do with syncing the phone.
Hopefully, it won't fail me next time...

Current issues:
Since I've been using this phone one issue I've been having is with the alarm alert.
W hen I set it for the morning, the alert appears, but I get no sound. When I reset or switch of the phone and re boot, followed by setting the alarm again, then it solves the issue with no sound.
I think this might have something to do with syncing the phone with active sync prior to the alarm going off.
Also when I add device lock to the Today screen, if I press lock twice too quickly then it confuses the phone into displaying unlocked when it is in facked still locked (a problem I never encountered on any other PPC I've owned) a soft reset will cure this....

Also the touch screen itself I find very responsive. In fact out of the HTC Touch, Xda mini s, and Glofiish M800, which I have owned, the Imate 8502 has the best touch screen of them all).
It seems to be made from more durable material than the usual touch screens but still manages to retain very good response from both finger and stylus. Best of the bunch! :)

Got it today and had a little play around with my new 8502.
To sart off, it feels like a nice solid phone one that feels like it has'nt been pulled out of a Chrismas cracker. It does'nt feel flimsy.
The navigation stick is not loose and the same goes for the buttons like the jog wheel etc...Even the stylus clicks firmly into place and takes some good force to take it out.
One gripe, is that they have placed the speaker at the back of the device.(Not a good idea if you have it sitting on your settie)
Would it have not been better to put them on the either side?
One issue I have is that when I connect my headphones to listen to Mp3's, it activates the voice dialing option, although not a major issue, it can be annoying at times.
That said, the sound quality with a good set of headphones is spot on, no faults there.
The volume through the loudspeaker is very good and it's loud and clear.
The memory card slot is just at the side behind the battery cover although you only need to remove the cover and not the battery to gain access to it. A down side is that it only takes up to 2gb mem card, forget anything higher than that.
What about the qwerty keyboard? Well, you'll get used to them. I find it better to type like I would if I was texting as opposed to the use of both hands.
The phone is fast when navigating through the menus and various apps
(faster than the Glofiish M800 and HTC Touch).
Overall, a nice phone and the best PPC I've owned...

Just ordered off Devicewire.(I strongly recommend them for service)...
Will get it tomorrow (paid for Saturday delivery).
They sell it factory unlocked/unbranded.
I will post a review about such things as Speaker quality, loudness, key responses etc over the weekend...

call your carrier using 611 or whatever it is free call to your company and then put the volume lowest as possible then switch into the camera while phone call is on and there will be no sound when taking picture.

imate freezes quite a bit as well as problems while you are on a call. no problems with that on i780. The battery life on i780 is amazing dont even need the other battery the imate's battery life is okay.

n$CX,
Why do you say that Samsung's i780 is better? I'm deciding between both devices. Please provide some of your input.
By the way, can the camera shutter sound of the iMate 8502 be turned off?
Thanx.
