i-mate Ultimate 8502 Review
Score: 35.4 / 100I-mate Ultimate 8502 is a quite basic Windows Mobile Professional device, with a 2.6 inches touch-screen and a 2 megapixels back facing camera.
Apparently i-mate forgot about optimizing the weight, leaving it live with a weight of 4.93 ounces. This phone is a little thick for nowadays standards, with a thickness of 0.59". The i-mate Ultimate 8502 isn't really a compact phone, considering it is 4.56" long,but it just contains a 2.6 inches screen.
The i-mate Ultimate 8502 is equipped with only a 2 mega-pixels back side camera. In addition, the camera has flash.
I-mate equipped the i-mate Ultimate 8502 with a interesting 2.6 inches display, and a resolution of 320 x 240 (QVGA), which makes everything look quite colorful and brightful. This display uses TFT resistive technology, but it can't detect multi touch gestures.
This phone provides Wi-Fi connection (although it can't share it with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot) and 3G fast internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card to use GSM services.
This phone packs a 1530 mAh medium capacity Li-Polymer removable battery that provides the i-mate Ultimate 8502 a poor battery lifecompared to other cellphones. i-mate informs a 180 hours stand by time and a 4.3 hours talk time for this device.
