I-mate Ultimate 9502 standard package review

Posted by admin | Category: Smartphone, Windows Mobile

I-mate Ultimate 9502 is the larger sibling of the i-mate Ultimate 8502, and shares the honour of being Australia’s first HSUPA phone. While this phone is in the same league as a Blackberry or the iPhone, be wary of Telstra’s promised internet speeds.

Design wise
What is immediately striking about the i-mate 9502 is the bright 2.8-inch touch screen that occupies most of the front panel. The generous 640×480 resolution means you can really enjoy multimedia content on this phone.

Unlike its smaller sibling, the i-mate Ultimate 8502, the QWERTY keyboard on the 9502 is hidden underneath a sliding screen. While it’s quite small, raised keys means typing is acceptable. In a similar manner to the iPhone, the 9502 automatically detects which way the phone is oriented and tips the screen accordingly.

At 116 by 60 by 17.8mm the 9502 is just fractionally larger than its smaller sibling, the 8502. While this isn’t a small phone, it’s a compact for the range of features it offers — and much smaller than a monster like Nokia’s E90 Communicator.

The 9502 offers a range of additional buttons, and we like the scroll wheel placed on the top left hand corner along with the with e-mail and IE key shortcuts. One annoying feature is that the button placed on the left hand side of the phone sits right next to the sliding screen, which opens in a spring loaded fashion. This left us occasionally pushing the screen rather than the "OK" or "wireless" shortcut.

Samsung SGH-F700V

Posted by admin | Category: Mobile Phone

The iPhone for instance, may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I don’t know a single hard-bitten hack who has used the device who hasn’t fallen in love with its beautifully-designed GUI and almost perfectly executed touch-screen hardware interface.

Another indication of the popularity of a product is the number of companies and products attempting to copy its key ideas and use them. And the iPhone looks as if it’s going to have a pretty powerful influence here too: 2008 is set to be the year of the touch-screen and Samsung’s F700V is in the vanguard of products looking to knock Apple from its perch.

It’s a product that has great potential. Unsurprisingly it’s very similar in size and shape to the iPhone - it’s thicker at 17mm but otherwise there’s not too much in it. It looks pretty good too with its glossy, pinstriped front fascia and minimalist design. There’s just a single button adorning the front of the phone - just like the Apple device - while a mere three controls sit along the long right-hand edge: the trigger for the F700V’s three megapixel camera, a two-way volume rocker and a switch for locking and unlocking the device.

The F700V is, as you’ve probably already guessed, a touch-screen device, and one that you’d probably also expect to be inferior in quality to the iPhone, but the F700V has a couple of important advantages hidden up its tightly-tailored sleeve. The first of these is vibration feedback. Whenever you hit a button on the F700V’s 3.2in 240 x 440 screen it responds with a quiet beep and a light buzz. It sounds frivolous, but this feature contributes so much to the feel and usability of the interface that I wonder why other manufacturers haven’t done the same thing. It’s like having the best of both worlds - the flexibility and adaptability of a touch-screen, but with the feedback of physical buttons.
