![]() In fact this "shrinking" of hardware seem to be part of a necessary tweaking rather than cost-cutting. Luckily, we've been unable to detect any significant reduction in performance, helped in part by the lower display resolution. The 520MHz processor of the 61 is now a 400MHz Qualcomm chip with 128MB RAM. With the release of the new Ultimate devices so close to the previous batch we were expecting to see similar processing performance - until we discovered the downsizing of processors. ![]() ![]() i-mate also includes data security by allow the phone's owner to remotely lock their device and clear all data on the phone using a password-protected online log in, as well as the option to sound an alarm - like a car alarm - to coerce thieves to return your phone, or at least dump it in a bin somewhere. Push email via MS Exchange, media playback with Windows Media Player, and document editing with mobile Office. Running Windows Mobile 6 guarantees certain functionality and compatibility for owners of the 8502. Mobile data charges can be avoided using the built-in Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g), and similar to the HTC TyTN II, the 8502 has a GPS receiver integrated into its Qualcomm processor chipset. In addition to HSPA the 8502 features a full compliment of connectivity options. The Ultimate series phones also feature video-out, which coupled with mobile TV gives you a low-res (VGA) alternative to paying for subscription TV at home or in a motel. As with all other Next G phones, the new i-mates will be able to stream mobile TV, like Foxtel. When released the Ultimate 85 will be available exclusively through Telstra. It's here that HSPA should offer a similar mobile broadband experience to your fixed line ADSL2 connection. Where the speeds will be really handy is when the handset shares its mobile broadband with your PC. HSPA data may seem like overkill on a mobile device for anyone who doesn't intend to send large files attached to emails. HSPA refers to support not only for HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) downloads but also HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) uploads as well. This is quite a disappointment, considering the fact that a common practice between the rest of the advertisers is to enhance the software in order to make it user-friendly.The 8502 and its sister phone the 9502 have the prestigious honour of being the first full HSPA smartphones available in Australia, to be followed by a couple of Samsung phones and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 mid-year. The prototype of i-mate 8502 runs on Windows Mobile 6.0 OS without any personalizations. The loudspeaker and the 2-megapixel camera with flash are located on the back. Strangely, you cannot use it with a standard monitor. On the top are the power on/off button and the stylus and the 2.5 mm jack and miniUSB slot, also used for TV out are located on the bottom. The volume control and the notes/voice commands shortcut accompanied by the camera dedicated key are located on the opposite side. On the left, we have the 3-way wheel and the OK button. Below it, we have the full QWERTY keyboard, which will most likely fit the needs of the people who often text or send emails. In contrast to all the other devices from the Ultimate line, which are VGA, 8502 has a 2.6-inch display with a resolution of 240х320 pixels.
