i-mate Ultimate 6150 - nothing skimped

Phone calls, data transfer

Basically it’s no big experience making phone calls with a brick weighing 150 grams, but besides this, there were no problems with Ultimate. Sound quality was absolutely all right; not even changing between GSM and UMTS networks meant any problem. The phone slowed down only when returning from standby: it took about a second for the backlight of the keyboard to turn on after pressing the power button, while the display came alive only after another 2-3 seconds – as a matter of fact, this doesn’t have to do anything with phone calls, I just remembered it now.

The GSM module is a quad-band one (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), the gadget handles 3rd generation networks too. For data transfer we can use HSDPA, but in lack of coverage we can fall back to UMTS, EDGE, or even GPRS. There is a built-in WiFi module, compatible with 802.11b/g standards, as required. There is even an IrDA port, but we’ll probably use the 2.0 Bluetooth more. Unfortunately the miniUSB port is only of version 1.1.

All software regarding phone calls is made by the manufacturer: the phonebook’s capacity depends on the memory (that is the number of entries that can be stored diverges to infinity), there are lots of extra fields. Our messaging is handled by Outlook, it supports MMS messages and the e-mail client supports authenticated IMAP servers and attachments. There is voice-calling support, but no voice commands.
