A Moto SLVR rip-off is doing the rounds in the i-mate gallery these days with the i-mate SPL which looks like the SLVR’s twin brother. The i-mate SPL has the same design and if seen from far it you can easily mistake it for a Motorola. All things said and done, this phone is packed with features as are all i-mate phones and expensive too!
The i-mate SPL is powered by a OMAP730 200 Mhz processor along with 64mb RAM and 128mb ROM. The SPL also has a very nice 2 megapixel camera, but sadly does not have flash.
The battery of the SPL is very poor at only 3 hours talktime and only 150 hours standby. Another downside for this phone is absence of data connectivity technologies like 3G or even EDGE for that matter. You will have to work your way with the primitive GPRS on this handset to use along with the PocketIE version of the HTML browser. The SPL is available in black only, but there are plans to release a silver variant.
The phone comes with a miniSD card slot, Bluetooth support along with a miniUSB port.
The i-mate JAQ is now become a thing of the past, and its successors are coming along thick and fast. The JAQ3 has not been released or anything like that, but there have been rumors about the launch which can happen anytime for that matter.
The JAQ3 is very similar to the Motorola Q but is a little bit on the heavier and bigger side. The bigger size also means that you will get to look at and work with a much bigger screen. The keypad is well spaced out which is as good as the QWERTY keypad on the Q. The JAQ3 runs on a Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system. The display of the JAQ3 is close to 2.6 inches which is pretty big.
The JAQ3 will come with EDGE, GPRS and 3G for data connectivity and to support this it will have a HTML browser. The i-mate JAQ3 would come with a microSD card slot so the amount of data you can store will never be a problem. Other than that, we still don’t know further details about the release or the price tag which it will carry, so hang on for more!
