i-mate Ultimate 8150
£399.96 (ex. VAT handset only)
The Ultimate 8150 is a large-format, keyboard-equipped handheld running Windows Mobile 6 Professional. Its Intel PXA 270 processor runs at 520MHz, and it is equipped with 256MB of ROM and 128MB of RAM. A microSD card slot sits unprotected on the left edge of the device.
Interestingly, the Ultimate 8150 also sports a graphics accelerator in the shape of NVIDIA's GoForce 5500. The device can output XGA-resolution graphics (and audio) via an adapter. We haven't tested this feature, but in theory it means you can run presentations from the Ultimate 8150.
The keypad is a classic mobile phone type, with letters and numbers sharing individual keys. All keys are 5mm tall, but their width varies in order to provide a design feature. We measured the widest at 22mm, the narrowest at 14mm. This is quite a difference, and there may be a learning curve before you can type very quickly.
