Have not used this device as yet. From anyone who has used it , is it possible to do Email sync up to folder levels.
Looks like a great device!

OMG!! This looks and sounds like a realy powerful device! Now this would make quite an upgrade from my current Nokia N81 Symbian S60 device.
Anyone in South Africa has this or know how much its going to be here?
Also does this have a seperate GPU 3D Engine like the Nokia E90?

Hi SteveJ, Seems like both of us are waiting for the same phones!
I was actually considering 9502 and SE X1 too. I do prefer the X1 more but then since my dopod 900 is failing me and I do not have any idea when X1 is going to launch, I go for the 9502 first.
So far this phone have been serving me well, the only thing is the battery life of the phone drain real fast.

Thanks alot Knight! I will be looking forward to your more detailed tests. From what you've said so far, it looks like the video drivers for 3D graphics acceleration have been enabled (unlike HTC TyTN II) so it looks like we could be in for a good time with this mini-computer.
I am so pleased that i-mate dared to give us a VGA screen where so many other companies have chickened out! VGA screens are the future. One cannot run or hide from this fact.
I am also delighted that I do not have to wait ten years till SE bring out the X1 to enjoy high definition mini-computing. There is so much of a furore over the SE X1 but nobody is quite sure of its release date. The earliest possible time has been given as September. Its specifications are similar to i-mate's Ultimate 9502 so I may as well try the i-mate.

Hi SteveJ, I actually did a simple review on the device in the www.ppcsg.com forums. you may want to check out the thread there and you will get more info.
have tested the 9502 with tytnII in playing the same WMV file on the same TCPMP player. the 9502 did not encounter the sluggish play back or laggy or jerky but the tytnII does. but please take note that i run the test with different programs loaded on different devices.. I cant afford to hard reset both devices and just to test the video play back.
I do not know if the VGA drivers of the 9502 have been patch or not, but so far i have install quiet a no of softwares and do not really experience any lag unless i run multiple programs at the same time.
Give me sometime and i will test out more things on this device. If there anything that you guys want me to test?

It doesn't have gps navigation.
It has gps positioning. They are two different things.
And the processor is 400mhz afterall.
But if you don't believe me, buy it and find out yourself

Hi Lekki,

I own the ultimate 9502
It's performance is exceptionally good.
SDHC.777 patch will enable SDHC support on this machine, there are already people using 8GB SDHC cards on it already.
Yes it is Qualcomm MSM7200 processor but it's video performance wins the Tytn II hands down.
Using TCMP and DivXhtcdriver:
Divx., FLV., 3gp., Mp4., Ogm., AVI., and even Video CD DAT.files play well on th ultimate 9502.
GPS will get a fix in under 2mins if you are not moving and not undercover, when using any kind of GPS reciever, you should get yourself fixed before you start moving .... If you are already in a moving vehicle and can't get a fix that's not the fault of your hardware. I have used the Eten M700 with sirfstar GPS and it was really good. The GPS on the ultimate 9502 is equally good, if not superior to that of the M700.
I have seen the Tytn II and it's video performance
"Sucks !!!", There is a terrible issue with the driver support on the Tytn. It is also very ugly to look at.
Sorry for that ... just my opinion.

To the preople who already have one, how is the battery life? TyTn II claims about 240hrs standby. 9502 has larger battery. But I know one person with a 9502 and the battery life is absolutely pityful. With very light usage, lucky to last a day. So how are you finding it?

Dude, don't spout trash.
We are talking about gps navigation.
What the imate has is gps positioning. The same service you get when you call the operator and ask where you are.
That is why I said that it doesn't have gps.
Because what people are talking about it the kind of gps you can use in your car to get you from point A to point B.
I was wrong about the processor though.

Lekki I brought the ultimate 9502 for more than a week and i am held it in my hand now and telling you it has integrated gps and 400mhz. The man at the store is cheating you or he don't know anything at all. So........."If you haven't held the phone, don't give false information" don't mislead others. Thanks

Here is a link to the i-Mate 9502 specification sheet dated February 8 2008 on the i-Mate web site.
http://www.imate.com/support/specs/SpecSheet_9502.pdf
It states the device has an integrated GPS, and an 400 MHz Qualcomm® MSM 7200™ processor.

Lekki, you are talking rubbish. I live in Singapore and owns the 9502. Read the specs and understand what you are talking about.
The phone has an inbuilt GPS receiver which locks on fast. The processor is the same as TyTn II (Qualcomm 400Mhz). Check out the forum pages (eg. www.ppcsg.com) and you will see that there are no complaints of bugs so far (unlike other phones like TyTn II, etc).
Don't be fooled by sales people who have an agenda and pushed for phones that bring them higher commissions, etc.
