i-Mate SP5m Review
SP5m from i-mate is a quad-band GSM phone running Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0. While it is not 3G (it supports EDGE, though), the SP5m supports Wi-Fi networking. Be warned though, it can drain the juice out of your batteries pretty quickly.
If you expected the usual slew of Microsoft productivity apps with the SP5m, you'd be wrong on this one: it does not include the embedded versions of Word/Excel/PowerPoint. However, you do got Pocket MSN Messenger, Outlook, IE and Windows Media Player.
Pros: 2.2" QVGA res display, Very good quality audio playback, Bluetooth support, Wi-Fi on a smartphone (!)
Cons: Battery drains pretty fast, To access the miniSD slot you have to remove the battery
Features include:
i-Mate SP5m Smartphone, AC adapter w/ DC_IN via mini-USB Plug, USB Sync. Cable, Stereo wired headset with microphone, Standard Battery, User Manual, Quick Start Guide, Sync., Software CD.
My Rating: 3.5 Stars out of 5
