I hope you get things resolved somehow.

I await a WM6.1 update, but I’m really concerned.

The new thread is now http://forums.imate.com/m_2557/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#2562

I reproduce a list of bugs here for your visitors incase the thread goes missing again:
* device coming up with “low program memory” overnight, despite nothing running. While the device is in this state, alarms do not function, and the phone is useless
until soft reset.
* the handset misses keypresses from the home screen if you dial too quickly – while trying to filter the contacts out, it seems to ignore what you’re typing. You have to
slow right down, or wait for each number to register on the screen before continuing. Particularly when considered with the 3-numbers-missing from the speed-dial list.
It’s not that I have that many contacts either – only 255 contacts stored in the device, and approximately another 200 on SIM.
* Regularly it’s impossible to unlock the device using the Windows lock 4 digit PIN (keeps telling me the PIN is incorrect). I’ve no idea what triggers it, but I’m definitely
not keying in the wrong PIN every time I try. The only way of getting back into the device is to soft reset it (VERY annoying). (NB: Not SIM PIN, but the PIN set under
settings -> personal -> lock)
* The requirement to use the Telstra Proxy Manager to access the Telstra WAP pages, and to disable it to use Messenger and ordinary internet access. While I’m aware
this is a limitation in Windows Mobile 6 Pro, surely Imate or Telstra could work out a way around this in the firmware.
* The device seems to register onto 3TELSTRA (UMTS 2100) despite me manually selecting the TELSTRA network, and UMTS 850 having better coverage. I’ve since set
the phone’s preferred band to US (UMTS 850/1900) to avoid the phone sticking on UMTS 2100.
* During a call I can’t connect to bluetooth if I come into range (i.e. walking to my car to drive somewhere while on the phone).
* A number of times pressing send hasn’t answered the call.
* When Activesync runs, the phone basically stops responding to anything. Makes it nigh on impossible to answer a call.
* I’ve had two occasions where all the keys stop working completely. Touch screen still works. Soft reset required to fix it. Had to use the button under the cover though
since selecting from the menus didn’t do anything.

Please reply if you have experienced any of these problems.

Despite the troubles that you have had, I can honestly say that the iMate Ultimate 8502 is the BEST PDA device you’ve had.

I would consider myself to be a power user with all the different functions I require the device to perform on a daily basis, and it has and is still serving me well.

With this reported update coming out, I am excited of improving this device even further.

My biggest gripes with the device are:
- no SDHC support
- memory leakage mostly due to CoPilot 7 I believe

And that’s about it.
