i-mate SPL Windows Mobile handset reviewed

by Donald Melanson, posted Dec 28th 2006 at 7:20PM

We first caught sight of i-mate's SLVR-esque SPL handset a few months ago, but the good folks at MobileBurn have now managed to actually get their hands on one of 'em, coming away fairly impressed with the familiar-looking handset. The phone itself is a Windows Mobile number, with 128MB ROM, 64MB RAM, a miniSD slot, Bluetooth, a 2.2-inch LCD, and a 2 megapixel camera. That camera looks to be one of the handset's biggest failings, according to MobileBurn, who found it to perform well below average without so much as an auto-focus option. Also taking it down a few notches is the lack of WiFi and 3G data capability, as well as a somewhat slow to respond interface. That said, they still found enough to like to give the SPL a "highly recommended" rating, with the phone's comparatively low price being one of the biggest factors working in its favor.

Really? The imate SPL? The Spell?

So not only are they ripping off Motorola design, they are making fun of how they name their products. The follow up model is obviously going to be the RNY.
