Design and Build
The i-mate PDAL showcases a design typical of early smartphones, compact yet slightly bulky by today's standards. Measuring 112 x 56 x 17 mm and weighing 116 g, it fits comfortably in the hand or pocket but feels more substantial than modern devices. The phone uses a Mini-SIM and features a resistive touchscreen, emphasizing stylus use for navigation. Its silver body gives it a clean, professional look, though the 2.4-inch TFT display occupies only a modest ~28.4% of the front, a characteristic of devices from this era. The screen resolution of 320 x 240 pixels provides a serviceable visual experience with 65K colors, though by contemporary measures, it is quite basic.
