Design and Build
The i-mobile 8500 boasts a compact design with dimensions of 112 x 56.5 x 14.9 mm and is well suited for users who prefer a device that easily fits in the hand and pocket. Despite the absence of a specified weight in its documentation, it can be assumed that its build is robust yet lightweight, characteristic of phones from this time. The use of a Mini-SIM slot emphasizes its vintage roots. A distinctive feature is its trackball, which adds a touch of nostalgia and nods to a transition period in mobile navigation technology.
