They are still waiting upon a ROM update before the release. A few bugs were in the XDAIIi.

Or should I buy the 2020i for about $300 USD less? http://www.smartdevicesdirect.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_28_246&products_id=799

WIth all the awesome people here, It will be a no brainer to get the fixed Imate ROM and I would not have to wait.

I'm not sure if it's a typo or not, but the specs on the Qtek 2020i (from the link you provided), shows that it is BT 1.1 compliant, whereas the IMate is BT 1.2 compliant. That makes a difference with certain headsets like the Jabra that needs the handsfree support for caller ID (at least that's what I've been told).

Ya, a typo. It is also mentioned on some other site that it has 640x480 camera.. The hardware is the same as the O2. All made by HTC.

I am kind of Tempted to wait for the T-Mobile MDA IV. That 640x480 would be nice!

When do you expect that puppy to ship? All I've seen is vaporware since the Feb 5 announcement. At least people are taking pre-orders for the PDA2, but so far, no word on the MDA IV. I'd love to have one too, although I'm a bit concerned over its size and weight and whether I'll be waiting until 2006.
