Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 Just in case anyone should think we 'stole their pics', these images came to us directly from i-mate. :D P
Guest Pigo Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 SPL looks thin.... is it? not a familiar look. (though it is a copy of a samsung) I haven't seen it before. Pigo
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 It's a device by techfaithwireless, we'll know more when the official release comes out later... but it looks very SLVRy. P
Guest awarner (MVP) Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 It's about time something from Tech Faith actually got released.
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 I'm really hoping the Jaq looks better in person :D P
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 Press release added to first post. P
Guest Looby Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) The SPL, another device to add to the mobile phone with Windows list. As with the MTeoR it looks nice but as with many other things it is dumbed-down. If it had WiFi, mini usb and a standard headphone jack I would be interested and I'm sure i-mate could clean up the Smartphone market. :D Edited September 12, 2006 by Looby
Guest randomelements Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 It's a device by techfaithwireless, we'll know more when the official release comes out later... but it looks very SLVRy. P Yeah, was just thinking that this could be a Motorola.
Guest Exodia Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 That SPL is quite attractive (i like the SLVRs design), i may have to get one. Ive grown tired of the bulkiness of pocket pc. :D
Guest nickcornaglia Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 I have a Motorola SLVR L7 waiting to be sold on ebay right now! :D I love the feel of this phone....it's a perfect candybar. So think how much better I'll love the i-mate version!
