haven't tried these models,
but the 2 imate phones I've had were awesome. I really liked the small wi-fi imate SP5 which runs windows mobile 5. Be a shame for a Windows Mobile player to go down in flames. I like the option of having that OS on my phone as opposed to the future with only iphones and the google os... why onearth would I want a Nokia proprietary os when I can get decent non-java 3rd party apps for windows mobile, iphone (if you want to deal with the hassle of unlocking) or the gphone oses when they arrive??

Symbian may be proprietary, but it is definitely not a Nokia-only OS. Ericsson (& Sony-Ericsson), Samsung & Panasonic all have stakes in it too.

In a way, this makes it far less proprietary than say, an operating system owned by a single company. (*cough*Windows Mobile*cough*)
