2008-05-14
hey guys its brand a minimun from pocketnow.com and now we're going to take a tour of the aware of the I'm eight ultimate 9502 let's start on the front the screen is 2.8 inches across same size as the Titan to for example and it's vga resolution around the screen we have this polished metal finish which really makes it look high quality and lets you see the the outline of the screen kind of glisan when you turn it around at the top here we have a hardware button for mail messaging and a button for pocket Internet Explorer to the right of that we have the front-facing video camera for video calls we have an LED indicator light that you just saw blink there and this of course is the speaker for audio when you're on a call moving to the bottom we have a four-way d-pad with a select button in the center call start and end key start menu button ok button and they really awkwardly placed a soft key soft key set of buttons so if I turn on the device you see that not quite lined up turning over to the side we have a scroll wheel a very very welcomed addition we like to see a scroll wheel and it's actually got a inward functionality so you could select things with this as well and let me show you how fast it Scrolls because I like the speed I think it's good so I'm gonna go into my contacts here and goes pretty fast I like it to the right of that we have the ok button another ok button in addition to this one then we have the wireless communication manager shortcut button and then we have a mini USB port this is used for syncing charging and for the TV out functionality on the top we have the stylus silo kind of outlined in this polished metal look with the on and off switch on the right here it's got this interesting leather texture I don't think it's actually leather I think it's plastic and I'm not sure if I like it it's actually a little bit tacky it doesn't show up anywhere else on the device except for the bottom the stylus is a collapsible stylus unfortunately and it feels kind of cheap it's got a little bit of wiggle to it to the other side of the device flip it over here we have a volume up and down button a button to record voice notes and a camera button now the camera button actually has two actions one halfway down to focus and one all the way down to take the picture and over here we have a 2.5 millimeter headphone jack which is good but it's not the standard 3.5 millimeter headphone jack but 2.5 is better than having to use headphones through the mini USB port with an adapter so so that's good turning over to the back we have the 3 megapixel camera the camera has a mechanical autofocus which is very powerful and I think it works very well we have a fill light which will turn on to light the area around the picture and then we have a speaker to the bottom here we have a button that will slide over to open the back and if we open the back it will reveal the slot awkwardly placed for the micro SD micro SD card I guess it's better than being behind the battery but still it would be great if it was you know along the bottom or along the top or something like other devices and to put this lid back on you have to position it at 60 degrees or else it won't go in but you get kind of used to it so it's not that big of a deal if we slide open the keyboard it's got a fantastic spring assist we see this small keyboard that I talked about in the unboxing video in the upper right corner here we have the soft reset hole so it's it's within reach so you don't have to open the back to get to it and that's good and it feels high-quality when you open up the screen but you kind of get a little bit of wiggle room here I don't know if you can see that and if you shake it like so you can almost hear it click back and forth it's not it's not bad but it's noticeable and you shouldn't have this wiggle room on an eight-hundred-dollar phone and that's it for the hardware tour the i-mate ultimate 9502
