As of yesterday afternoon, after an epic battle with Sri Lanka customs, I have my very own i-Mate SP3. Its not brand new but a second hand one. Helen, my wife popped out today and got me a SIM card from DialogGSM, which should be activated by tomorrow afternoon. I downloaded the ActiveSync 3.8 software, connected the i-Mate to my Toshiba Satellite tablet PC via a USB cable and got the two happily talking to one another.
I'm hoping to do some .NET development using the i-Mate as well as using it to keep up to date on my emails and even update my personal blog via email using it! The calendar facility will also be very useful as I have a very poor memory and rely heavily of Outlook's calendar facility to remind me where I'm supposed to be and where. Now I can get reminders from my mobile phone!
