They look pretty ugly, especially sitting next to the one that shall not be named.
Daren @ Oct 23rd 2007 4:41PM
To each their own i suppose.
I think it looks a lot better than the other phone your referring to.
Plus, it has a real keyboard, which is THE selling point over apple's offering.
Anyone know which carrier(s) this is coming to?
Preston @ Oct 23rd 2007 4:43PM
I agree about the lack of keyboard on the "other" phone, but in terms of visual appeal, it's better to me. The 9502 looks like a Sidekick with WinMo.
Panq @ Oct 23rd 2007 6:44PM
Total agreement with the "Ugly" comments. HTC has made some very nice looking phones (Kaiser, for example), and some with rather nice specs (9502). I would rather like to see them make a device which both looks nice AND isn't underpowered...
nikster @ Oct 23rd 2007 8:13PM
Shall not be named but is pictured in the gallery - heh. I have one but I think the 8502 here doesn't look half bad. The bezel around the screen is too fat and the i-mate logo right in the center is a bad design decision - surely the device could have been designed to either make it smaller, make the screen bigger, or otherwise use the space taken up by the logo for something useful.
The rest - looks very professional + coming out just when Nokia is fixated on that unnamed device.
Shame for Win Mobile though - it sucks, yet the manufacturers of nice hardware like this don't have a choice. Choosing the lesser of two evils between symbian and WinMobile and since Symbian is more or less controlled by Nokia and SE, it's not a real choice at all.

They look awesome next to that crappy iPhone!!!
Did I just say what I thought I said?
Oh well...
