C500 vs. iMate SP3i

[Guest rane]

Heya, i'm new to these forums and was wondering about the C500/SP3i phones:

1. I noticed that the SP3i has a joystick thingy where as the C500 has the scroller. Is there anymore differences between the 2 models?

2. I also read that the game keypress issues havent been resolved in the new firmware for the C500. But how is this on the SP3i...seeing as it has a joystick and not a scroller? In other words...can u use the joystick and other keys at the same time?

3. Will the SP3i have Danish T9 - either from beginning or through firmware updates?

Thanks in advance - i tried to find answers to these questions in the forums...but didnt succeed, so im hoping you guys could help me ^_^

I believe the sp3i does not have any gapi issues but I'm not 100% sure.

You could try writing them to find out, they are VERY prompt with their replies.

Keep us posted on your findings.

I read on the i-mate website that SP3i was made for games (hence the joystick) but C500's are let down in the games department (this is pre-update, new rom is better but I havent fully tested all the games yet).
