We haven’t heard from i-mate for quite a while now, but if the latest buzz on the internet is true, they could be making a huge return come February.

The report states that the Dubai-based company is planning to unveil a ‘revolutionary’ handset at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month. Though no specifics were given as to what it’ll look like and its features, speculation is that it could be running Windows Mobile 6.5 as its OS. Unwiredview has so kindly provided a mock up image of what it could possible look like, and if it’s anywhere near this good, we’re very optimistic of their chances in their bid for a comeback in 2009.

Anyway, the Mobile World Congress is just a couple of week away so we'll soon find out what they have in store for us this brand new year.
