"Telstra and i-mate have today launched the i-mate™ Ultimate 8502 and i-mate™ Ultimate 9502. Telstra is the first operator to deploy these devices globally and both devices will be exclusive in Australia to Telstra customers. Building on a five-year partnership which has seen the successful launch of 10 i-mate™ devices on the Telstra network, Telstra has teamed up with i-mate™ again to release the Ultimate mobile devices. CEO and Founder of i-mate™ Mr. Jim Morrison said: "We don't believe that one size fits all. We offer a full range of superior Windows Mobile® powered devices. We then customise these devices to suit the unique requirements of individual customers. Add to that our range of innovative and free i-Q solutions, together with our extensive support and you have an exceptional total solution that's hard to beat." Powered by Windows Mobile® software, both the Ultimate 8502 and Ultimate 9502 house a very similar advanced feature set including Direct Video Out so you can connect to a digital projector or TV to run presentations and video calls, Custom i-Q so you can define your personal settings quickly and easily, and Secure i-Q to remotely lock and wipe the Ultimate device if it's ever lost or stolen."
Good news for Telstra customers in Australia: the
i-mate Ultimate 8502 and 9502 will be available online or in Telstra Shops in just a couple of weeks at an outright AUD$999 and AUD$1099 respectively, or the usual $0 upfront on a 24-month contract. Both are enabled for HSDPA/HSUPA on Telstra's Next G network, so you can expect data to fly! Anyone here planning on picking one (or two) up?
