Qtek 2020i vs Qtek 9090

Half a year ago, I upgraded from Qtek 2020 to Qtek 9090 and I was very happy with the Wlan and keyboard, Not the I was using the keyboard mutch.
Now my Qtek 9090 was stolen, and I need a new one, should I go for a Qtek 9090 again, og "downgrade" til Qtek2020i?!?
The things I missed in the Qtek 2020 is in the Qtek 2020i - Wlan and 1,3 Mpixel..
Any advices?

personallly i would go to 2020i with no doubt,, after all u said it urself that u didnt use the keyboard that often,u might miss the additional buttons,,but for me I can live without it,,,,,

How is it a downgrade?
The 2020i is faster, more flash rom storage, better camera, and is a newer device that has far more accessories available for it thanks to being the same form factor as the 2020.
If there was a chance of a WM2005 update, the 2020i would get it, the 9090 would not.

well ok.. It not a downgrade.. Sorry..
But will the accesories from my BlueAngle work on the Alpine/Andes (2020i) Im thinking of my Brodit car active car holder..

The socket on the bottom of the Blue Angle is different to the Himalaya and Alpine, so if it's got a plug in it, it will not fit.

Hmmm...
Well, I was using the things from the Himalaya on the BlueAngle..

I think that everyone is forgotting some things..
1) 9090 is a demo wm2005 device used by microsoft in expos, so there's already wm2005 for it, and not for 2020i
2) They added wireless, 1.3mpx camera, more rom (32MB) and a new processor but forgot to change the battery
I think 9090 is a better choice because it isn't a lousy upgrade to an old platform
The only thing i miss in 9090 is not supporting the vga out sleeve.

Imate jam(qtek s100) vs Tornado(qtek 8310)

I got the imate jam right now but thinking of switching over to the tornado.
i use the imate jam mostly like a phone to make calls with and sometimes im using tomtom on it. i dont really like how the imate jam works as a phone with the stylus and with the problems that come with it when using it as a pocket pc.(ie reseting and so on),and its a little big to have in the pocket.
will i miss anything when switching to the tornado? is it better as a phone? does it have better sound quality for instance?

I can asure you that the sound quality of my 8310 is outstanding. The receptition is on top too. Is a really great phone by itself with great battery life.
I have TomTom 5.20 working perfectly on it.
If you don´t need a pda, the 8310 or Imate SP5 is perfect for you. Obviously the S100 is designed for pda users with mobil phone requirements, while the 8310 is for "advanced" mobil phone users who needs a little taste of what a pda offers.
Regards.

I Mate Ultimate 9502.....Kaiser/Tilt/TYTN II killer??

Guys check out the new i mate ultimate 9502....top notch specs with a VGA screen,GPS,3.2 MP camera,WiFi,Bluetooth,Qwerty keyboard....blah blah....
http://www.gsmarena.com/i_mate_ultimate_9502-2158.php
I think its awesome....anyone else havin second thoughts on buyin the Kaiser??

Yes awesome but the problem is that I-Mate is behind it. Their old website showed wonderful devices (Ultimate Range) coming mid 2007 but I guess it is now end 2007 and still no clue of already announced devices. So far we only see a new website but no devices.
So Yes 9502 a wonderful device but only if it ever gets released and I am a bit skeptical that it ever will. Potentially a TyTn II killer.

yep
the i-mate 9502 or the eten m800 will be my next celly after the tytn II.. i really dislike the non vga screen on the tytn ii (used with the universal). however its fairly quick and little bugs.
from what i can read on the specs the m800 has a slightly better cpu? i dont know if it really is but the mhz is higher at least. ;D

Well the problem is, it doesnt have a dedicated numbers row which causes a bit of a worry for me. In tytn, you cant take a note down when on a phone call because, when i type it only inputs number equivalents and i cant tap the alphabets!
Hope this problem is fixed!
Btw, i have a universal!

yea i think it has all the TYTN II features and then some.....now the only problem is availability as srmz mentioned....also nowhere hav they mentioned wut GPS hardware is used....

I-Mate Ultimate 9200 or HTC P6500 Sirius or not
Are these products the same and next beast?

No. i-Mate & HTC parted company a year or so ago. i-Mate's new products are manufactured by Arima.

it's got the Kaiser in ROM (256v128), VGAvQVGA screen, an LED flash
other than that, it's 10gm heavier, doesn't appear to have GPS, uses the same Qualcomm chipset
it's pretty even steven in my opinion

Arima??
Arima is the guys who produced the O2 flame. Too bad they did not support it with a software upgrade of WM6.

Guys and gals, I’ve just posted a HUGE roundup & quick review of i-mate’s all four new devices to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1967268

2.8" VGA screen? Doesn't that seem a little small? I would rather have a 3.5" VGA any day. I bet they could still make it fairly compact. By the looks of it, that phone is huge anyways. Why not use that space and have a useful screen.

iMate 8502?

Hi
Finally my mini-s died so went for something without the sider (the sider died).
Just got an iMate 8502 Ultimate from expansys (uk) for £100. so far we're getting on ok.
But it came shipped with some odd 'Telstra Business' applications built in it. Has anyone experience with this phone and maybe tried generic flashing it? with some rom that some clever person has cooked up.
My mini-s was running an aku mr clean rom for a long time, won't say without issues but better than the O2 one.
Thanks for any replies

Have a look here:

Hope there you can find help

Go to the Imate website and download the WM 6.1 WWE ROM. It will get rid of most of the Telstra applications except for the image on boot up. I am sure you could remove that as well somehow if you really wanted but at least the applications would be history. The 6.1 ROM is much more stable, I have installed about 20 apps and not once have I needed to reboot due to lock up.
There are other advantages to 6.1 such as SHDC support, I have a 16 GB micro SD card installed and it works ok.

i-mate 8502: Anybody sells display or phone? /alguién vende pantalla o teléfono?
Good afternoon, folks
I was relatively happy with my i-mate ultimate 8502 till I dropped it and the display broke.
As I'm against buying new stuff if you can at a reasonable price fix something, I'm asking if anybody is willing to sell almost altrusistically a display or even the whole phone? We could do it through the normal channels (paypal, google, ebay,whatever). Or in person, I'me based in Spain.
Warm regards,
Manuel

Is the i-Mate SPL a Tornado ?

from the specs it looks like some sort of "boosted" version of the phone, i know it was to replace the SP5/m models. But question would be, can we put the regular Tornado ROM's on it as well? or is it a whole new freakazoid?

I think this is not a Tornado. There will not be a Tornado with 128MB ROM, not EDGE (only GPRS) and 2.0MP camera. This is a i-mate specific product, not HTC.

Oh well, i just saw in the specs that it doesn't have WiFi, so it sucks

it is , actuely!
