A choice of iMates to suit all tastes!

If you are one of those who wants to stay connected to the world through the internet, even while on the move and that too 24x7, then personal digital assistants or PDAs are just what the doctor ordered. The other option is the 240x320 resolution enabled iMate SP5m.

This product is priced at Rs 25,000. It has a screen which is large enough for you to watch a movie farely comfortably and the the battery lasts for four hours. So, even a Hindi candy floss, 3 hour melodrama can be watched easily!

But the phone has disadvantages too and the major one is that the keyboard of the iMate is very complicated and thus it is not very user-friendly. Secondly, the usage of the joystick is also very difficult. The other drawback is that the operating system installed is very complicated and it is not easy to operate. It also does not have pop-up start buttons like the ones that are so visible on your PC.

Apart from the SP5m, the other iMate offering is the Smartflip. It is enabled with a Windows Mobile 5 operating system, OS, and a fabulous 1.3 megapixel camera but this doesn't come cheap. It will cost you Rs 26,000.

The other add-on feature of the mobile is that it's the world’s slimmest OS enabled mobile phone and with a total weight of 99 grams, it is easy to carry around. The trendy looks will make you want to flaunt this phone to all your friends. The only thing it lacks is that it is not Wi-Fi enabled and another attractive feature is its uncomplicated and user-friendly keypad.
