In an unusual strategy, i-mate's new Ultimate line (the 5150, 6150, 7150, 8150 and 9150) offers the same specifications across the board, but in different form factors with different levels of control: the 5150 is a slider phone, for instance, while the 7150 has a widescreen display and a full QWERTY keyboard. Click below to see all five models. Inside each unit is a 520MHz Intel processor with 128MB of RAM, running Microsoft's new Windows Mobile 6; connections are plentiful meanwhile, supporting quad-band GSM/EDGE, tri-band UMTS/HSDPA, and wireless in the shape of Bluetooth 2.0 and 802.11b/g/e/i. Storage includes 256MB of ROM and a microSD card slot. Other highlights are touchscreens, FM tuners, and two-megapixel cameras. The Ultimate line should roll out gradually starting in the middle of the year. [via the unwired]
