Thanks for the heads up.

Definetly recommend this update, imo made a big difference, doesn't have the delays running the start menu for the first time after a reset, entering device lock code used to be a bit slow before, lot better now. Texting's quicker too.

Much happier now

TBH I still find it cumbersome and avoid sending texts when using this handset. For me, the first WM handset in a longtime that can't keep up with txting! It's a pain :-(

I just got an SPL to replace the bulkier SP5m. Loved the SP5m, speedy, liked the wifi, but end of the day the wifi wasn't a major factor. The SPL is a lot smaller than the SP5m and a nicer handset. Sadly the firmware on it was 1.04 and it failed to update to 1.08 but the phone still lived (however it still reports itself as 1.04!). When I try to update, it says the phone already has the same or later firmware

I contacted i-mate via their online help (twice, it kept dropping out) and in the midst of trying to help (which they didn't really) they said "for the moment we are not sure when a new ROM will be available" which isn't good news for WM6 as they announced the WM6 ability of the SPL in feb?

I have quite a few bugs with 1.04, signal indication freezes (you go out of service but it still shows signal), it takes an age to re-establish signal once it's dropped out, various crashes and of course the total inability to fully app unlock it

I-mate haven't been very helpful, they say I need to go to a service centre, both require proof of purchase, and as a second hand customer I need to specifically pay them £30 for second user warranty (it's not like the handset can be a year old yet!) and considering the handset was only £90 it's a bit steep!

Great phone, poor service, shame on you i-mate.

Thanks!

IIRC they're TechFaith Wireless units. HTC's (current!) stuff is better built ;-)

You can always start an ftp client and point it to ftp://ftp.clubimate.com and download the correct rom from their public server.

I recently recieved an i-mate SPL as a gift for my birthday. the company that sold it was TravrrlTele.com based out of Fort Lauderdale, Fl, USA. It came preinstalled with WM6.0, Microsoft Office Mobile, and some other stuff.

The phone works perfectly (except I can't find how to enable T9) but I beleive it was flashed with WM6.0 after getting shipped from i-mate before getting shipped to me.
