Have been using PDA for more than 5 years but this is the first time dealing with the worst ever!
Horrible machine: soft reset will make the phone ring for a round 3-5 minutes, hangs like crazy, so so slow,signal keeps dropping, battery usage is a killer, machine totally dies for no apparent reason..., I can go on and on!!! very upset for what i got for the price paid..,

Do yourself a favour Don't Buy This Junk!!!

I bought one 2 months before, it is very poor product and I am not using it anymore. I am looking for somebody to buy it, and it is in my drawer now. If you ask why? I can answer you; it hangs up at least 3 times a day and very poor connection.

Great device. Connects to just about everything and without problems. Bluetooth browsing is faster than wi-fi. Syncs nicely with Outlook and Lotus Notes. Would like to be able to play "youtube" videos but it requires Adobe flash media player 8, which is not out yet. Imate PDAL looks great and is the only one to give you all these great goodies in a such miniature and efficient package. I am a stylus type user and am glad to see a device without a physical keyboard (I had it on my previous device and never used it; I'm just so much faster writing with the stylus than key punching). I'm just about to receive my blutooth GPS add on for Imate PDAL to complete this great small machine. I love my PDAL!

it is very light and that's it. esmertec java sucks. no midlet including gmail runs. rom upgrade on the clubimate is problematic. they still do not care about it. the support people do know nothing about it. I am using PDAs for 7 years (started with PALM), this is the worst product I have ever seen. I am so upset for the money I paid.

Got this one used it for 3weeks,its very slow,poor sound,and the best part is that one day it just starting vibrating even when the phone is off..My sincere advice to all PDA users,IMATE PDA,s are not worth it.

I bought the phone a week ago. I am very UNDERWHELMED with it. The quality of the sound when on the phone is poor and there is constant interference. I paid way too much for it. Very dissapointed. Can't get it to connect to my pc either. I would happily change it tomorrow, I just want to get some of my money's worth out of it.

The purchased the imate pdal 2 months ago. Owning it has been a labour intensive and unproductive experience. The literature accompanying the phone is rubbish, the service people do not know about the product, there is no communication between etisalat (tel serv prov) and imate, the phone must be switched on and off regularly to reactivate programme and finally the actual quality of the phone itself is poor. My phone dropped slipped off a chair and the screen cracked after 2 months of hell trying to set up the programmes and now imate want me to pay to replace the screen. To everyone out there DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU VALUE YOUR SANITY!
