i-Mate SPL - Mobile Burn

i-mate-SPL.jpg

The sleek i-Mate SPL lightweight smartphone has been reviewed at Mobile Burn. 'The SPL is a very solid feeling device, and apart from the cover for the miniUSB port, it is very well designed. The miniUSB port is the sole port on the handset, handling both charging and connectivity - this is great for business users, allowing them to charge the handset with, for example, a laptop computer (which I did on several occasions). The cover for this port is frustratingly hard to get out of the way when you are trying to plug the handset in though; the small rubber link between cover and handset needs to be about twice its current length to be usable.

Measuring up at 115mm x 49mm x 12mm (4.5" x 1.9" x 0.5"), the i-mate SPL is one of the smallest Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphones around. You can barely feel the device when it's in your pocket. Slim handsets are all the rage these days, but most are not smartphones, so the SPL comes to us as a pleasant surprise in this regard. A weight of just 102g (3.6oz) also puts it in a very exclusive class of lightweight smartphones.'
