i-mate reveals Ultimate 8502 and 9502: move over Kaiser
October 23, 2007 – 9:58 amFiled under: Cellphones
Well even though we have yet to see three of the five high-end Ultimate smartphones promised by i-mate earlier this year, the company has decided to reveal yet another pair of QWERTY-packing family members, including one — the 9502 — that gives the HTC Kaiser / TyTN II a run for its money. Almost identically-spec’ed to what is now the AT&T Tilt (save for the, um, tilt), the quad-band GSM / tri-band HSUPA Windows Mobile 6 handset manages to step up the game by featuring a VGA display along with video out, LED “flash,” and standard 2.5-millimeter audio jack. Slightly less impressive but still pretty feature packed, the candybar-shaped Ultimate 8502 sports the same radios (including WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth 2.0), memory configuration (256MB ROM / 128MB RAM) and 400MHz Qualcomm processor as its big brother, but replaces the 3.0 megapixel autofocus camera with a 2.0 megapixel fixed focus and, more importantly, drops the display down to a pedestrian 2.6-inch QVGA. Still, there’s a lot to love here, but until we see some pricing and release dates, i-mate, we’re not gonna go blending our current phones just yet.
