  • Hey, Try to do this one simple step I am sure it will help; 1) Open the back cover of your device & remove the battery. 2) Take a key, any key be it a car key or a door room lock key & push the battery contact with that key twice or thrice. This will flush the memory & reset the soft memory it would not be a hard reset and I am sure you device will run normally. Thanks!

[email protected]

  • I had bought this phone on eBay via Bombay Mall for 7100. It has been 3 weeks and this phone is just fantastic to use with excellent features. I have to say that I just love the feel of it in my hands. The only thing missing from this phone is an FM Radio. A windows mobile and FM radio are very rare to find but it is a good combination. But for this price it is still a bargain Will keep you all posted about this phones performance later.

  • i didnt like this mobile i have one of them and it has a hearing problem and i made it and it has the same problem again.

  • Hi All, I bought this device today for an amount of Rs. 7100/- only (mumbai). I must tell the device is really light weighted, sleek, good grip on hands and easy to operate, i guess keys are hard, might possible as i use, it will become soft. I must tell, the device is a WOW!! i have installed all google mobile apps (gmail, maps, search etc), nimbuzz, opera mini and call recording software. I have also used the feature of Goolge SYNC and it rocks. Device is not too slow as mentioned by other reviewers (no offense). Sound Quality is not too good and not too bad. Worth Buying.... Highly recommended. Hope this helps to existing and future buyers. Cheers!!

  • Waste of my Money. My Imate Jama 201 has a radio problem since the day I bought it in August 2008 from Dubai. It doesnt have a good strength signal 90% i have a no signal sign on my phone. I am hardly able to make any calls or send or receive messages. Complete waste of my money I so regret buying this product made & marketed by unprofessionals.

  • i-mate company has been closed in Dubai. Please think about before buying any of the i-mate phones.

  • I liked the phone and service in India. They know how to handle the customers. Way to go iMate !!!

  • Hi everyone. I am writing this comment just to make everything clear for anyone who wants to buy this phone. This phone is excellent with great ergonomics. Looks slim and professional with a nice touch which give a perfect grip in the hands. I bought this phone and I am pretty happy with it and honestly I couldn't find a better phone in this price category.

  • how to istall new softwares in this mobile like flash player,and so....this mobile is very good to use...

  • I have an Imate Jama 201. I couldn't access my key pad and it was also locked. Usually to unlock keypad we need to click "unlock" and the "*" keys, but even then I couldn't open in. Any suggestions on how to open it...

  • it is awesome (nawwwww)

  • This device looks prety good but video is so poor and screen on full will be not more than one inch. Comparing Nokia N70 is best. Its not user friendly. Its volume on full sound is low. It is ok as a normal phone.

  • The Handset is worth putting in your dustbin. This is a complete disastor and wastage of money. throw it or give it away, whatever option you chose, who ever will have his hands on it, will curse the owner :)

  • i am desperately looking for a french or english rom for the Jama 201. Pleas help. my email is [email protected]

  • To hard reset: From menu: Start -> Settings -> Master Clear Key Combination: Press and hold the Power button & the Reset button for 10 seconds

  • It sucks! i have one and i need to tell this to you: Don't buy it...it's a waste of time! It is so slow reacting to buttons, it freezes all the time and except this, the earpiece works in only one part...not all of it. if you look in the pics you will see that there's a metalic stripe at the headphone. it will fall out or worse, what happened to me.. i got CUT while trying to get a call..!!! TWICE!!! it is a VERY BAD EXPERIECE!!! I'm gonna sell it and buy a NOKIA!

  • The screen resolution is QVGA, not VGA, check imate.com

  • hey guyz, this device going to be best smartphone in lower range, look pretty awesome, everyone knows in lower end device where cost of about 10 or 12 k you wont get wifi and 3g.

  • its gonna be the best smartphone ever. WM6, wide screen device, QWERTY keyboard, high quality materials. gonna be the best...

  • no 3g?no ir port?no wi-fi?usb 1.1???the batery will stay alive just 2 days,i'm very sure,what a creap!!!!!the video recording should be vga,if not..............

  • super! if anybody got idea when its going to be released? thanks

  • This isn't made to be a totally high end phone. You need to remember that. For a mid ranged phone, this is great.

  • This is not the first computer with a VGA screen how about the Eten glofiish X500+ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • VGA screen with a wimpy CPU?? that thing better have a graphic chip or it's doomed me thinks

  • There is no point to this device.
