I-mate's shares leapt 25 per cent on news the mobile-phone maker had signed a distribution deal with Telstra, one of Australia's largest telecoms companies.
Telstra, which has been an i-mate partner for five years, will be the first operator in the world to offer two of i-mate's Ultimate devices to its customers.
SHARE TIP UPDATE
HighEnough
Operator support is crucial for volume sales of i-mate's latest devices. But after recentwrite-downs and supply problems, substantial execution risk remains. High enough at 20p.
