Scoblephone in some circles). It's dependable overall, syncs my mailbox, I can browse the web (to my wife's chagrin at times) and of course, sync my contacts and music directly to the phone. But there's a new kid in town. A follow-up to the SMT-5600, HTC has partnered with iMate to create the iMate SP5m. With a QVGA (320x240) brightly lit screen, faster data service w/ EDGE, built-in WiFi and carrying over Bluetooth support, the phone has to be experienced when turned on. While EDGE isn't as fast as EV-DO or other true 3G high-speed networks, with T-Mobile, I get an unlimited data plan and can use it in most places as a wireless modem in a pinch."</i><br /><br />The phone everybody loves to love. Everywhere I look is another paragraph or two about how wonderful life is with this phone in the world. Well there are some kinks in the armour! HA! Read the rest of this article and see. Ok it's just a couple of sentences and it's not really derogatory, but enough. It's time for you SP5m lovers to come up for air! Not to mention any names. :lol:

i-mate SP5 is the way to go! SP5em is no way as cool as the SP5.

Okay, I hate to be that nitpicky language guy, but the proper word is "chinks" not kinks. Unless it's a play on words in which you mean to suggest that the armor has "A difficulty or flaw that is likely to impede operation, as in a plan or system." ("Kink," definition 3.)

Me? Hire? No sir. You must have me confused with the big guy. ;)

I must admit; Kinks or Chinks, it's a tricky one. Well, at least for me. I never would have guessed. Then again, I'm no master of the English language - even though it's the only language I have ever known. ;)
