i-Mate's traded their funky "JAQ" naming scheme for five "Ultimate" series of Windows Mobile 6 phones.

All of them have a 520MHz processor, Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA, Quad-Band GSM/EDGE, 802.11b/g/e/i Wi-Fi, Blueooth 2.0, miniUSB, Direct Video Out, microSD, 2.0-megapixel camera, and FM Stereo, but here are the differences, and our hands-on photos:

• Ultimate 5150: 2.8-inch VGA touchscreen slider

• Ultimate 6150: 2.8-inch VGA touchscreen candybar

• Ultimate 7150: 3.8-inch Primary Touchscreen, 2.2-inch OLED secondary display, QWERTY flip-keyboard

• Ultimate 8150: 2.6-inch Primary Touchscreen, candybar shape

• Ultimate 9150: 2.6-inch Touchscreen, clamshell

Five different form factors, but the same technology (basically) inside makes for a wide range of interesting phones. More details as we get them. – Jason Chen

I'm pretty superficial when it comes to my cell phones. I like them thin and stylish—drop them in your pocket and forget they're there. They gotta be smart too, I won't settle for any crap interface (although since I'm on Verizon, that's tough to do). So you'd think I'd be all over Samung's new Ultra series, right. Eh, not really. They need more carbs. Much to my surprise, I ended up falling for these two fatties instead. Nokia's E90 and the locked in glass iMate 7150. The E90 is huge. No doubt about it, but the over-sized keyboard feels great. As for the iMate, it's kinda like an E90 with WM6 (size-wise). Take a look and see what I mean. – Louis Ramirez
