When I purchased SP3i, I was very happy that I made a good deal. However, later on I got unsatisfied with it's slow processing speed and particularly with the ineffective navigation stick. No doubt the encorporation of windows CE in a smart phone is a good achievement of I Mate, however when one want to use it as a mobile phone, the slow speed hinders. I was able to get certain applications for this mobile which were very good and I wish if it's navigation stick didn't give me trouble, I could keep on using this handset. Initially it gave me trouble while navigation and later on it got very hard that I had to push it to use it which was not easy at all. I must say that this is the only drawback and a big drawback of this set. I switched from 6600 whose navigation stick was very easy to use and really got troubled with this set. All I could say is if someone really want to have a smart phone with windows CE, this set is good if handled with care. Specially the navigation stick. This could also be the case that my particular device has got that problem so one should ensure that his/her handset is not faulty before purchasing it.

none of this means anything to me, looks like a phone but could be a PDA, I don't know that why reviews should be detailed. i'll rerate if you update.
