Is i-mate misquoting dimensions on its Ultimates?

i-mate's recently unveiled "Ultimate" Windows Mobile 6 devices from 3GSM a few weeks ago initially looked like an offering to kill all other offerings. In a nutshell, all five Ultimate devices sported the exact same killer specifications except for form factor (and of course, dimensions). But -- egad! -- has i-mate soiled some of the initial excitement over these devices by not proofreading the dimension specs on the 7150 model? You be the judge here. i-mate's official specs state that the 7150 is a 110mm x 74mm x 18mm device. Yet, when set against the i-mate K-Jam, the new 7150 looks huge -- even though there is supposedly only a 2mm difference in height. We think i-mate needs to revisit some dimensional relations for the 7150 -- and fast. We're thinking about 125mm for the 7150's height, no?

It seems that the 7150 isn't the only device with questionable specs. If you check the pictures you linked to at PhoneArena you will see that the 8150 that Imate lists at 94mm is actually longer than the Wizard which is 108mm long.

See Imates response to my direct question on the Ultimate sizes:

Dear Mark,



Thank you for your email and your interest in i-mate devices. The specifications of the Ultimate devices are correct but we do not have specific time line on the availability of the devices. They are expected by mid 2007
