i-mate's latest handhelds

i-mate Ultimate 6150 continued

The difference between the two Ultimate devices lie in the screen and keyboard design. The display is a VGA-resolution TFT, but this time it's slightly larger at 2.8in. across the diagonal. The extra screen size is achieved because the Ultimate 6150 lacks a keyboard.

i-mate has used the same miniature joystick, in the same off-centre position, but this time it's part of a strip of buttons that includes Call and End keys and the Windows Mobile Start and OK buttons. A thin strip beneath the screen carries the Windows Mobile shortcut buttons — again this is the same strip as found in the Ultimate 8150.

It may not surprise you to learn that the 6150 shares its dimensions and weight with the 8150: 118.5mm tall, 60.5mm wide, 15.5mm thick and 152g.
