            I am using gsmarena daily 4m many years but this is my first comment here, many time i think, even some time i write comments but then i never post dat, but now i-mate force me to do so. m attached with celluler network since 1997, n in last decade i think i use almost minimum 150 diffrent major n minor smartphones and nokia's titanium series, blackberry's bold series n i-mate's windows mobile r in my most favrts. imate is my first windows phone. Now its comeback with windows 8 pro really it awesome n grt grand return. Well its lilbit expensive, but i think who had spend some grt time with imate they never ever think abut dat. As said by some1 here i-mate brings back so many memorie. its true, atleast 4 me.
            At last but not least, as in pakistan i jst wana say

                  woah... never thought a computer operating system will be able to run on a smartphone.. i think a quad-core processor is needed to run win 8..

I do not want to risk installing potential malware... just to get basic funtionality back to Windows! Microsoft needs to bring back the Start-button-menu and support it during future updates and upgrades!

                              WP8 is very bad, but a phone with full Windows Pro 8 makes even a "Microsoft-hater" like me interested, if the batterylife and performance is good!
                              Microsoft should make the Start-button-menu return, and able to disable for those few who do not like it, only then will I consider upgrading to a new laptop with Windows 8 preinstalled!

                                Paying $1600 for a phone desktop base should figure in the Guinness Book of Records for the Biggest Act of Stupidity Ever.

                                        finally something innovative is happening rather than just megapixel , screen resolution and no of cores....
                                        maybe its price will come down..
