  • i-mate is good phone.i want to sale it.model i-mate jamin. memory card is not working i donnt know why?

  • This is most probably because you tried to use a duplicate (non original) battery on the phone. This somehow causes corruption and screen becomes white with colored lines. To solve - put the original battery back, plug the usb cord into a pc and leave it to charge overnight. At some point it should revert back to normal.

  • Having a problem of jamming....,apart from that its good and nice to use. i hav a problem with my battery..where from i can get the spare?? help me... am from kerla,india.... mail me @ [email protected]

  • you're right, it's better if there's bible download on the fone.. it's very useful.

  • If you are technically inclined, remove the antenna cover and check the two prongs that are the contacts for the antenna. They should be sort of springy and make good connection to the contacts on the circuit board underneath. Mine was bent, and one of the prongs made no contact at all, resulting in the same thing you are talking about.

  • well.....my opinion on this fone is divided... on 1 hand this phone totally rocks......with its sleek looks and shape.its versatile and well built. on the -ve side..the battery life is poor,and its size is a hinderance.....and less said abt its connectivity the better.i dont get any signal when im in my hostel room... all in all....its a fonw ith plus and negative sides....depends on perso to person..

  • Did you get an phone manuel guide. send a copy to [email protected] Thank you very much

  • Hi Peyman..You can reset your phone by going to the clear storage option available in the settings menu. Remember it will delete all Data so take backup appropretly..

  • The network provider services keep on changing the band width etc These are some of the factors that decides your phones performance. The day your mobile gets older than the updated network service it starts having hanging problem etc. It is recomended to update the ROM of your PDAs from time to time. Like any other machinery Your mobile also needs maintenace. PS Dont ask for Free ROM sites. It is recomended to always PURCHASE genuine ROMs only.

  • i did purchase this phone 3 years back , though it has awesome applications all phone ever mean to say every thing is really awesome.But the main problem is that it has a manufacturing fault i.e load speeker always stucks/demage after every 2 to 3 months frequently even on low level of vol and you have to replace it new one. uptill now i have replaced 6 loud chines speekers as the original is not available in the market. even authorized dealers also replaces chines one (sub standerd)and on the other side its not user friendly while driving.

  • i did purchase this phone 6 months before ,this is a awesome applicational phone ever .. nice internet features ,windows media ,sounds Quality is very good,wirless ,bluetooth ,mean to say every thing is really awesome..the people who's don't find it gud phone, i think... they do use easy phones for music and call,....poor people can enjoy a gud phone....with book instruction you can learn everything easly .. 100/100

  • Dear n3eB: Greetings! Your knowledge on technical aspects of computing seems very sound. I need help. I was using my JAMin since two years w/o any problem. However, a week back, I turned the device off and the next morning when I turned it on, it started getting stuck at the boot up stage, i.e where the blue screen showing the i-mate logo appears. I have tried all methods including the hard/soft reset, going to the boot loader stage and reinstalling the software but it is giving the same problem. I showed it to i-mate authorized dealer and they said to replace the whole board, which is insanely expensive and doesnt seem logical. Do you have any idea as to what could have gone wrong and any suggestions to get it repaired cheaply? I reside in Pakistan. If u wish u can contact me thru email: [email protected]. Will be waiting for your reply. Thanks.

  • nice funky phone real cool stuff which i have used worthful

  • jamin is the end of the mobiles

  • the most important thing in order to transfer your photos and videos to ur PC is to have a USB cable to be connected to ur mobile device and a software to synchronize ur Files. but if u dont have these, it can still b done. if ur phone have a memory card, transfer ur files to memory card inserted in ur phone,and then use a memory card reader to transfer ur photos and other files to ur PC.i hope this will help.

  • i treat my imate like crap since its almsot 2 years old. lol, its one tough cookie. the only problems i have with it are the volume and mmm, processor could be a bit faster, but im running a WM6 so meh

  • he guys i need Please WM6 for my jamin and please can u tell me where the link to download it

  • purchased it about 12 months ago,second hand.had the lcd and the speaker replaced 9 months ago.(BOUGHT LCD FROM EBAY R450/65US$) since then iv had no problems with my jamin.just keep your speaker volume at 80% max.imate jamin is an eye turner and an excellent pda once you get used to it.i want to get the tytn II now.enjoy the imate jamin

  • Read this about prophet and you will find that prophet isn't sloww as it speaks: Omap 850 is a dual core chip solution + 2d graphical chip. 1st core is an arm926 core clocked at 195Mhz and it gives around 215Mips. It is used to operate with aplications' commands etc. 2nd core is a multi-core containing arm7 core at 47,5Mhz and TI3500 DSP at 100Mhz and they give around 300Mips. They are used in heavy calculations such as sound, video, 3d and 2d graphics and gsm signals(they ate a lot of Mips). If any core is overburdend it uses help from other core. intel's 416 processor has around 530Mips. you can turnoff the phone function, i think it should speed up video and sound processing such as gaphics. I have prophet, and it didn't disapoint me. Sorry for bad english, if there is one.

  • is this phone got a problem with sound and screen alignment? hmmmm i hope someone will reply!

  • To Francis: Download activesync here>>> To Ziad: They all have the same problem with the external speaker. I have had 2 Jamins and 1 Qtek s200. The speaker on all three stopped functioning. Change the speaker. If you can find a JAM speaker thats even better than the original

  • i have jamin.first time use jamin. how to use blutooth,and i wnat cannect my pc.how to canted.pls in from me thanks nizam.

  • JAMin is a good phone when the hardware part is concerned. But its software is not upto the standard. And i-mate doesnt release a WM6 ROM upgrade either. I got a new WM6 ROM from XDA forum and flashed my phone. Its pretty faster, with all new features. My ROM is called shadow vista aero, and I did a Hard SPL too. Now flashing into WM 6 is so simple, thanks to all the senior members of XDA forum. So go for WM6, and get the best use from you i-mate JAMin. Regards.

  • i have an i-mate JAMin,... can i upgrade to windows mobile 6? pls tell me

  • It's a good phone given the fact it is effectively old technology. Go onto XDA-Developers and upgrade it to wm6 it's a shame IMATE don't release a proper version for this phone. It actually fixes many of the issues people have complained about. The Battery is the biggest issue. There is a jumbo 2500mah battery available. or google for extended Jamin Battery.

  • The best phone for me :) All software i-mate JAMIN Free

  • i changed the Caller Id setting(under Start --> Phone --> Menu --> Options --> Services --> Caller ID):Provide my Caller Id to: No OneAfter that, a pop-up appeared " Registering settings on the network" and all my outgoing calls were barred. Then i reverted by selecting the option : Provide my Caller Id to: EveryoneThen the message "Registering settings on the network" didn't appear and outgoing calls are still blocked. I tried FACTORY RESET / MASTER CLEAR many times but in vain. So please tell me how can i revert the settings. I USED OTHER SIM CARD ALSO BUT OUTGOING CALLS STILL BARRED..........any solutions please help.....please mail to [email protected]

  • I have been using JamIn for the last two year. I can not change since i paid lots of money for it. It looked fancy. I will never by an iMate again. It is good as organizer, internet surfing ONLY. As a phone it is useless due to: 1- Very very poor sound quality. 2- Useless camera. 3- Very slow for all functions. 4- Poor internatioanl standards. E.g. Bluetooth. As a result does not benifit from latest cadgets like SonyEricson Bluetooth Head set. 5- No way to dial while driving.

  • I bought a second hand imate jamin and i dont have a software cd for active sync, can somebody send me a copy of that software through my e-mail add. I really nid it. [email protected]

  • Apologies, the link on my post is not the correct link to activesync 4.5-here it is

  • hello i need the all programs of about i-mate jamin whould you please send to me?

  • Ive owned one for almost 2 years now. Banged up but still working properly. had issues with the sound but got it fixed under warranty. Ummm, i wish it was faster and i HATE its camera speed and video capturing and playing speed. otherwise a great organizer!

  • for the past one year i am using this imate regarding t ringing volume quality compared to other phones its useless,and the baterry back up as i have to charge two times each day.If u can suggest something regarding the baterry back up then its will be greatful other than the new purchase.

  • great as a PDA - calendar, notes, things to do, ability to upload and change ringtones are awesome. Easy to get wifi at airports etc. The sound is absolute rubbish - I often dont hear it ringing (at full volume) when in my pocket, and I often miss sms alerts. Sound quality is poor. The camera is next to useless. Windows is stable, and the phone reception is average, but never any problems with compatibility when roaming. I am happy with my increased productivity and having info at my fingertips, but as a phone it is awkward compared to non PDA offerings. I wouldnt buy one again. I ended up swapping from a quality, usable phone, to a hybrid computer phone, and it still annoys me. But I no longer need a PDA in one pocket and a phone in the other. That is a benefit. You need the stylus to sms or input info - no good for one handed use unless you use voice tags.

  • is that posible can i install windows mobile 6 in my i mate jamin

  • Hi ,,, i am georges from egypt i got many problem in the sound and the sensor of the screen , i went to RAYA egency ,and my mobil still in the guaranty periode and they told me no u must paid and we know about this problem , so NEVER EVER i will buy any I-Mate from egypt bc of RAYA agency , plz solve this problem very soon bc of it's a common problem with people - waiting reply on my mail , thx

  • It is a known problem with the Jamin-most of the time the issue of no sound seems to happen after the rom update has happened. you should still be able to cliam under warranty!

  • Yes there are a few sound quality related issues. otherwise its fine. Perfect

  • My JAMIN speaker does not work after 1 month working.

  • I am using jamin. I lost my software cd. Can any one send a copy of software cd to my email address. Thanks

  • hi guys, i have been using i mate close to a year. i usually change my mobile every year. but with imate i have to make a exception. though there are a lot of people say it has got so many problems i feel its usually due to lack of knowledge about how to handle this mobile rather than anything. there are some problems with this mobile which is glaring like speaker is unstable. camera quality is poor and depends on a lot on adequacy of lighting and how steady your hand is, little complex for heavy texters, lack of hard keys, fragile screen, sync problems occasionally, low battery life and so on... but for me these are all trivial issues compared to what the mobile has got to offer. every other thing works smooth and it is a balanced mobile for official purposes and also reasonable multimedia functions. i think i will go ahead with this mobile till a jammin version with windows 6 becomes available. rubeus

  • Hi can someone email me a copy of their user manual as I didnt get one with mine. Thanks.

  • it is a very advanced mobile phone with pc features,but the speaker ias very bad and the battery life is very short. the camera is not good enouf either in still pix or vedeo mode and with no protection for the lense. otherwise it is easy to use,smart desine.

  • I've just bought myself a second hand imate jamin. I love it sooo much! however I just put in a sd card and my mate sez "card not installed" I have got no ideas of how to fix this problem. does ne1 have ne idea what is wrong?

  • I have been using a Jamin for about 6 months. I have many apps. loaded & have not experienced many problems, although it is a bit slow. My main problem is the crappy sound quality; after all, this is also supposed to be a phone, but sound quality is terrible lacking volume and suffering from distortion & lousy tonal quality.

  • yar i have littel problem . when i recevive data through blurtooth ,it store in phone memery . how this data directly store in memery card

  • Hi.. I was asking about Video of this mobile ?? is the quality like N70, N73 for capturing video with mp4 format 320*240??

  • I have to say that whilst this phone is over all a great PDA, the speaker has really let me down twice thus making me think its a faulty design or poor quality parts. I would not recommend you get this phone only because the speaker fault which is a pain to get repaired.

  • I have had the Jamin since June last year and have been very disappointed with the build quality. Within a couple of months the speaker on the phone stopped working and now the phone doesnt ring anymore. I have had a few of these devices but this has by far been the worst one.

  • I am thinking of getting one, any advices? I want it for the Microsoft Office, internet and as an organizer because I always forget appointments and stuff, one more thing is it really reliable for sending and receiving E-mails?

  • Hi, I have been using this phone for a while. Lately the misallignment of screen key pad being non responsive is quite frequent. Have anyone else experienceing the same issues.

  • Hi, I have been using IMATE JAMin for quite some time now and it is an excellent phone set providing all capabilities of a phone as well as PC. The only problem I have faced is that the screen automatically unlocks as soon as an incoming call is received. Don't know where th esetting is to keep the screen and phone locked when th ecall is not to be answered.

  • i am using this for 6 months.excellent one. excellant display, verygood batterylife comparing othet ppcs, excellant music player that you can ever imagine-(i-music, player ), good camera,wonderful video player that plays pleasant videos taken from phone, i think this is the most entertining model with best price. comparing with o2neo,it has better display, comparing with n91 it has better music function, comparing with n7o-it has best camera when taken good lighting, excellant browising display,similar to desktop experience, this is the no1 mobile phone that i evwr have used.

  • Hi I have imatejamin I want to know how can I turn on the internet via wireles (linksys)?? Thank you

  • it is a good phone .... audio is really bad ... i was expecting the jamin to have a good audio system ... it failed terribly ... bluetooth wont work if screen is turned off .... the earpiece is so low ... i had to rely on the headset ... but couldnt be used at all times ... the old phone ringtone is the only full clarity sound in the whole of the imate jamin .... alarms are silent even though put at full volume ... and same goes for the reminders .... the audio part only sucks ... even after giving for a service ....

  • I have been using Win CE devices since the very first cassiopiea - E100 (If that was the correct model). My first PPC phone was HTC alpine (IMATE pocket pc). It was very gud. I used it for more than 3.5 years then changed it with this JAMIN. Its a VERY GUD device. GREAT improvement. I agree some devices have problems. like auto-damange of speakerphone speaker (secondary loud speaker) and screen alignment problems. But they do get repaired easily, and free if they are in warranty. Same happened with me and my cousin (the speakerphone stopped responsing), but we had it covered through warranty. The replacement ones are for $10 only in Pakistan. The device hangs and slows. Yes it should, use SPB Shell and pocket plus. Keep the sstorage and program capacities atleast 15 MB ffree each. If you do just all this, there aint no gud WM5 device in such this price. I still use this device as my primary standard issue gadget for a modern professional ;). I use Nokia N73 as my secondary entertaining smart phone. I will only replace this device if i like HTC touch. ASUS P535 or Imate Ultimate. BTW. for your probs visit this. This is the best site for your problems. GSMArena is the best for reviews. Keep up the gud work guys (Y) ...

  • how can I chang the di-mate jamin from english to spanish

  • This is a great phone!!!!I have it italian version....They only fail in one thing sound...Low volume except that great phone.Really.In my plan there is new model same like this only with buttons it's much confortable with them!

  • I used to have the i-mate PDA2K and it was working great. The only problem was it's size, so after I wrecked it in saltwater I decided to buy the smaller i-mate JAMin. A big mistake. The earphone speaker is too silent. I have a very hard time hearing the person at the other end speaking and I do not have any hearing problems. But this is not the worst. I constantly have screen alignment problems. I have to align the screen nearly every day. It is a real paint in the neck if you try to select an item on the screen and it actually activates the item or letter beside it. I cannot recommend anyone to buy the JAMin.

  • The most horrible phone ! The first one I got started hanging from the first day. Exchanged the phone and got a bad deal. The phone never syncs with my comp. BAd caera and really bad bat life--does nit even last a day. the speakers are bad and the audio sucks. JUNK the phone --never buy this.

  • A real junk, especially on the audio part. Was always using a Nokia 9300i and a big mistake, to change over. Wouldn't recommend to anyone!!

  • Hi, I have JAMin - Alarm Tone doesnt stop - We did soft reset, Hard Reset, CMOS Update - finally it worked but the camera is very horrible+NO Flash, Speaker's - Waste, E-Mail setup is very easy but send & recieving - headache. Video - Play back not that good, Two Good things OEM CA AntiVirus & Games get Installed Quickly. I would rate 4/10.

  • Hey there, I love Imate Jamin, but need you guys help. how and where can I get software update for Imate Jamin? thank u

  • i juz wana say nice phone.....

  • This is my first PDA after using the HP200LX for almost 10 yrs. but died on me recently so forced to get a pda. Was not disappointed especially for battery life which was my first concern. Last me from 4 to 5 days normal use as a pda as I still use my mobile phone for calls. Even at 3% battery remaining it can still make/receive calls. Very stable & hardly hangs. As for speed, I would rather have long battery life, saves always charging.

  • Howzt guys.I bought my jamin second hand.D second day ringer stop workin.Replaced it,workn fine.5th day alarm cudnt stop.Tried soft reset nothing hap.Then lcd went blank.Wer cn i gt lcd 4 dis pda.How much do u think.Do u think wil truble me again.Pls i nd help.Jam better pda by far.Regret jamin.

  • Well ive had the new one for like 10 months now or something and yes the camera is crappy and the processor may seem sluggish sometimes but if given the chance to rethink my purchase, id buy it again!. Recently as Peter pointed out, after 10 months of heavy service its audio died without notice and i had to use vibrate. i just gave it back to be repaired, which they promised to do within 2 business days. ill go pick it up tonight. Great Phone!, even after almost a year its still cool and not an embarrasment at ALL to carry around

  • I bought this phone 4 months back. It is a wonderful phone. Owners shd know this: 1) there is some inherent problem with the speaker phone volume and i had to replace the chip. It was not too expensive, but the phone has been working perfectly since then. 2) screen alignment problems sometime are a hassle. They used to trouble me a lot in the beginning, but i have not had a problem for the last 2 months now. The screen responds perfectly to taps. I would suggest not use the Screen Lock feature and the transcriber. If you use the keypad (you can switch to bigger keys through a setting) regaularly, it will start working perfectly over time. 3) you need to explore the phone. There are a lot of wonderful options that make life simpler while on the move. You can open any application through a voice command. You virtually dont need to use the hand. But yes, the internal memory seems to be low. doesnt allow a lot of applications to be installed. You can, however always install new ones on the SD card. Overall, a nice phone.

  • overall look wise is a good phone, but the processor is very slow and if we store heavy ringtones the memory get occupied. big draw back. less battery time. less internal memory. low speaker volume. less stable camera due to absence of flash. no fm radio. no stereo speakers. handsfree so outdated. call id picture so small and no software available to increase the size. any many more issues. but its a phone which can be used by a very expert sort of a person who can get in depth.

  • I bought my Imate Jamin six months ago. First months was to learn phase how to use it. If you want to use your phone by one hand, it is not for you. (especially in traffic, you can not talk or answer). Screen alignment problem killed me after two months and still same. It was 800 USD when I bought and now nobody pays 200 USD. I do not recommend that model!

  • i use this device. when i lock it, the phone part can not ring out. if device is turned off, the lock is automatically unlocked. the problem i am having is that if i accidently hit one of the buttons on the front the phone auto dials out. is there any way to make the device such that even if it is turned off, that to make a call you have to unlock the device. i need to have the phone part on all the time to receive calls so do not want to turn off the phone part of the device

  • Has anyone else also experienced the problem of volume when the phone rings. Mine is very low even at it's highest level. any solution?

  • I was satisfied during almost 2 years until recently now it gives me screen alignment problems all the time several times a day... I am going to check if it is still on warranty so I can have it replaced.

  • I love this phone everythings ok!

  • in reply 2 post calling this win mob junk. The comments are absolutely false and based on lack of knowledge. regarding slow speed, use OMAP clock 2 safely increase speed upto 234 mhz. Rest I have been using this ppc mob for last 6 months and performance is wonderful, keeping in mind the specifications this set was designed. I have never hard reset this phone, bc its so stable. before this I had jam, which was awsome, but features of wm5 were absent.

  • junk junk junk junk junk. terrible telphone audio, unstable processor....overall about 2/10. dont buy this junk.

  • I just bought this phone yesterday and I must say Im amazed. Everything rocks.....the speakerphone, the applications, every dam thing is awesome and it looks also sexy!! My only issue is that I was using a Nokia communicator (9500) before this and I dont know how to transfer my messages to this phone!! I need help with that, otherwise, I would recommend any person to go for this phone as it is really good!!! Yo Imate!!

  • i don't know what to say, of course it's an amazing PocketPC but it's really has a lot of problems and some of them are mentioned before : - screen alignment : the screen doesn't correctly recognize your click on it. i solve this problem by not using the Unlock option and the phone works well - when i used softwares like SpbTime, Spb Pocket Plus the alarms (of the pocket pc not the SpbTime) goes crazy, i make them all off but they are working till now !!! - SPEAKER GOES OFF : it doesn't work and when i press on it, it works and goes off again. please help me in this issue. anyway, i like this phone very much, although all of these problems. I think there're some kind of people who would like a phone like this, if u r one of them buy it, else u will hate it.

  • Most troublesome phone I've ever had. Main problem: screen needs to be realigned at least 10 times a day! Very frustrating. The red "Call end" button doesn't always work, the screen sometimes freezes. I don't recommend this phone at all

  • How Do i get GPS Navigation on to my i-mate jamin? [email protected]

  • Please can anyone let me know the sound quality of IMATE JAMIN

  • I've had mine now for over a year (UK) No problems whatsoever. Runs Tom Tom navigation GPS also with no hassle. Great phone. Lots of features. Photos great too. Need I say more. Would definately recommend.

  • have problem on its ringing tones...

  • Fantastic funtionality, really, great full function internet browser (IE), good camera, can view MSOffice and pdf files...BUT..the volume is really bad and you sturggle to hear people when there is any background noise...and I got a dead spot right in the middle of the touch screen after 6 months...if the volume and the screen were better, then this would be the perfect phone..also maybe if they had a numeric keypad at the bottom instead of the other buttons, so you can sms on the move.

  • I have a sound problem also... NO SOUNDS. I repaired it 3 time but my problem still alive!

  • I have a sound problem also... NO SOUNDS :(.. my friend have the same issue too!!

  • great phone.pliz can anyone advise if there is any software for co-pilot satellite navigation ....

  • Hi , I bought this PDA 6 months back . Occassionally its giving me screen allignment problems. The worst case is if you lock the device and the PDA's screen allignment changes, its almost impossible to unlock it . Another problem I am facing is the camera . Video is not coming out that good. I did not face any sound problems and I can tell that sound and it's quality is far better than Jam . Imate phones are more stable compared to ASUS or Intervideo ; however , the customer care is too sloppy.

  • I too have sound problems. My jamin just died. Is it a software problems or dudd speakers? regards, Dave

  • bought my JAMin 2 days bak, gr8 phone,can anybody tel me from where to get da free softwares for this phone. how to install GPS on it????????

  • I bought my jamin on 19-12-06, last week sparkers died. ‎ Recommendation: I would like to see this mobile ASAP.‎ My previous knowledge with Imate, I was using imate Pocket Pc ( very old module), ‎However it has some problem but much better, faster, to me than jamim‎.

  • Imate need to do some market research on who are their customers business execs like me arent going to put up postpaking your $800 item to a faceless useless service centres where people hide behind phones and emails because they no the product is a dud jamin and imate tata ----hello palm for a grade service

  • Bought this jamin nov 2006, been in repair centre one month twice already didnt have it back till jan sent it back again --need to realign screen 4-6 times a day service centres are 2nd rate and shouldnt be called srevice centres because there is no service. Imate are amateurs there is Nocustomer support do not by jamin . palm are the best service by far they will just replace a defect straight away imate are ducking and weaving constantly they are abunch of duds goodbye imate and jam your jamin.

  • i bought this mobile 2 months ago and my problems started since then. the speakerphone was not working after 2 days & the sole agent in egypt kept it fo 5 weeks till they got the spare part to change it. and when i complained to i-mate international (by mail) that the i-mate customer service in egypt is very poor, they did nothing. anyway i do not recommend this mobile or pocket PC to anyone of you, and please take it serious instead of regretting your money. bye

  • It's one of the best units on the market. Unfortunately most of negative comments in this forum are just an indication of two things: 1. People don't want to read manuals. 2. Microsoft made a wrong judgment with the WM5. Most people believe that when they close window it will actually be closed. Instead it goes to background and remains in memory. As a result one ends up with low memory, reboot etc. It's by far the best phone/PDA combination I ever had.

  • I was considering buying this phone but no one seems to be saying anything positive about it .

  • Hi guys, I boght the JAMin in June 2006 and I think it is a great PDA. It has some problems though. The speaker is up to shit and the alarm is unreliable. I also think that Windows mobile is using a lot of the 128mb ram and the PDA runs short of memory. When you exit a program, it doesn't actually close it and that takes memory. Often you need to go to Setting>Memory>Running Programs and stop them from running. Is this a Windows Mobile or a JAMin problem? I don't know. I look forward to try the Nokia N95 Ciao

  • guys I bought i-mate JAMmin and its not even start... It's appearing on the screen something but later turns off.. the memory card is fake...! Do you know why? pls help me ! thank u !

  • Please do not buy the JAMin. The speaker went dead all of a sudden. When I called Clubimate they told me to hard reset but did not solve the problem. They asked me to take it to Fono (Dubai Service) for warranty fix. I looked around the web and found that it seems to be a manufacturing defect. The speaker is placed where the SD Card slot is and gets disconnected. The imate web site make not mention of this. Someone should sue them

  • My collegues and myself have 3 IMATE Jamin. They are always loosing the screen alignment. Performed software update twice. Problem is still persisting. I won't suggest the Jamin.

  • I bought jammin 1 and Half Month Back And for last 1 week my speaked died, repairing is to costle i do not suggest to buy IMATE JasJar and Jammin Phone

  • does this phone supports WAP????

  • I wanna buy an imate or any other pocket pc, Then I need a suggession and idea about. Please advice me through the best one.

  • I bought my JAMin June 06. Served me very well till Dec last when sound and volume died. Cant afford to send it for repairs because the agents in Nairobi will kill it for good, theyre that incompetent, so Im relying on vibration instead of ringer. Battery life is too short otherwise good PDA.Muli

  • i brought this device a week ago and it's already started giving me problems .... i even had to take it to the dealer to get it fixed ..... the appointments ... the tasks ... the alarms .... don't respond .... sounds don't come out as expected .... sound volume is really low .... i was thought this device would help in the work ... nah ... don't even think about buying this device if you really want it to work ....

  • my jammin is not getting synchronized with windows media 10. have active sync 4 and windows media 10 but every other thing works except for media player. any ideas

  • Well ive been using this phone for the past 5 months. use it to run my life completely...lol. awesome phone, the only drawback in my opinion is the lag in the camera and the horrid video capturing capability...its worse than my ol Nokia 6270

  • a PPC with ideal Size - Very Bad Speaker :( weak and very Slow 2M Camera ! :( i'm NOT satisfy .

  • i bought it two months ago.great phone except for the loud speaker and the fact that my wi-fi worked for 1 week and then nothing,nobody seems to know whats wrong with it.anybody can help ????

  • I bought an imate Jamin a few weeks back. Apart from sound and having to restart it every one/2 day... its a very good phone and pda. I like it, My cousin has a O2 atom, it consumes more battery than imate since I belive it has a faster processor..all in all I ma quite happy!

  • My son and I both purchased Imate Jamins some 4 months ago. Both worked brilliantly and we installed GPS on both. Within days, both lost all sound.... no phone ring, no GPS navigation voice etc. Fortunately both in warranty but I am concerned that this problem is common and may return after repair.

  • It's an amazing device except for two things, the camers isn't as i expected and the loud speaker is really very bad , i bought it since thre months and the loudspeaker doesn't work any more, and after going to sole agent, it seemed that it's a sound default .

  • i bought jamin 2 month ago. its very nice mobile but the sound is very low and the wi-fi was working good and now its isn't working. so i had to reinstall the same version again and the wi-fi still not working. please if anybody knows how the wh-fi works, contact me to me e-mail [email protected]

  • If you wanna buy it buy it :) its a beautiful pocket pc :) the advice is that you must be cool and buy a smart phone with it . Cheap smart phone .

  • Jamin adv: office touch and draw and write On the screen your notes And play with your bluetooth enjoy your games Its a computer with a wi fi disadv. whats wrong with camera 2 mega and some little problems as any pda . Is that it ?

  • My mother lost her Jamin!! Disapointing. She is compensatimg the loss by using my K-Jam.

  • Man don�t even think about this item. I had it, it was a headache. Axiom in saudia even replaced my set but its speaker works fine for few hours and after that the ringing volume and all alerts are so low that you cant even hear it. Apart from that you cannot adjust fist say of the week to Saturday. If keypad is not locked and its in ur pouch, a minor press on the button and call is received.Over all I AM FEDUP OF IMATE. Trust me Please dont go for it !!!

  • i bought this device but camera is real bad is it for all jamins or does mine has some problem?

  • Hi Jamin is a VERY VERY VERY AMAZING DEVICE,its simple Laptop,and more advance as compared with the K-Jam,but it similar with the K-jam because Jamin have not Physical Keyboard. Jamin have Latest Camera and Wi-Fi as comp with the K-jam. Jamin have Low ring tones means During the driving speaker volume is Low,otherwise its Best Set.............Oh sorry Best Laptop

  • Hi, I have Been Using This Device for the last 2 weeks, initially i did synchronise music from windows mediaplayer 10 from my pc to jamin, but now the active sync doesn't work--although bluetooth & infrared are working fine--i tried uninstalling active sync & reinstalling active sync 4.2 but now i cannot make a cable connection between my pc and the device---there is no firewall in my pc apart from windows--can any one suggest me solutions--please ping me at my email id--otherthan this i have no issues with the device--it's a good one

  • Inorder to change your sms tone, do as follows. 1- Make sure the tone is in WAV format. 2- Copy the tone to WINDOWS in the Main Memory. 3- Go to Settings - Sounds & Notifications. 4- You will find it in the selections of the New Text Message. Enjoy..

  • I love my Jamin, I found that when i reboot it once every day or two it worked fine, I didn't need to align the screen nor did it run slow. One thing I couldn't learn to do is assign a message tone. I'm not too sure that that feature is available. The tones available are a little "chatty". Other than that it's a reliable and easy to use phone. Hope that helps :)

  • i-mate is very phone cell

  • Well if you want me to describe this mobile in one word its awesome

  • Hi, I like JAMin...the only problem I am facing is that its Ringtone volume...sometimes its high, sometimes its low(very low)....I checked all the volume controls, in all applications I have....everywhere, volume is at maximum...but still this machine automatically makes it up and down...it makes it too low that you hardly hear that your phone is ringing.... Then I restart it 4 to 5 times and suddenly it comes to normal.... any1 has any idea about it? Please help me....thanks in advance.

  • i want to buy this mobile , but when i read the problems of it that people face it i was sad ,can anybody tell me is it good to get rid of my n71 and buy this phone JAMIN ??????

  • Hi: I wrote long time ago asking what was better....A JAM+WIFI CARD or JAMIN....nobody aanswered me so I finally bought the Jamin and I can say.: The main problem of this device, is that as It is a phone and practically a computer at tha same time, nobody asumes the responsability of its failures.....and for you, as an user (even as an very advanced one) it's impossible to make it work a 100%. I'll make myself clear....If you have problems getting your emails on the device, and you go to the people that sold the Jamin to you...they will say everything is related to the mobile service and its configurations....If you have problems syncronizing your data with you pc...of course the problem is te version of Windows that you have...or the last version of the ActiveSync...or any other thing....on you PC The thing is ....you can never have your device working with ALL features at the same time unless you spend nigths and nights checking the internet trying to get information on your problems... As many pleople only use a couple of features at the same time....Its never a huge problem..... Besides,. 1. The WIFI feature I almost never use, because it consumes too much energy, so the battery dries very fast. Instead I can connect to Internet and my POP3 Mail via GPRS. So basically I never use the WIFI. 2. The reception of Wireless networks is very poor. In my office I have a D-Link wireless router not even 5 mts away from my seat, and I only get 1 bar of reception in my Jamin. Imagine when you are in an Airport or Caffe..You are not secure about getting signal in every Wifi Spot. 3. The configuration of the Email (pop3) account took me more than a Month (And I'm used to technical issues on this type of equipment). At least in Chile, nobody seems to know how to make this thing work a 100%. 4. It's true that you have to use a BlueTooth headset, other wise, for long calls that make you ear swet, you can wet your device damaging the internal circuitry. 5. It usually dials the last number if you forget to lock it. 6. Now...It's not syncronizing with my notebook, It doesn't let me open the attachments in my emails...I have to save them in a specific direction in my card, and go there via the file explorer and open it from there. I can erase any photo in my device, copy it , or move it to a different direction..

  • Please don`t Buy this, as it has no provision for contacts backup, 2 times i had gone for servicing of hanset for which i had to format data and later on add all contacts manually, Very poor service By Imate, waste spending hard earnt money on this device

  • I Personalyy like the shape of this phone very much but i read many opinion which are against this mobile.. I mean that speed of this mobile is slow and some other functions are not good.. So after this i dont know i buy this mobile or not.. ???

  • Is there a user manual where I can download for i-mate JAMin as I don't have one.

  • I was fooled by this device. not user friendly at all. You need to buy memory sperately, will need for sure bluetooth headset otherwise difficuelt to make calls, other functions not functioning well...expensive and i regret for buying it

  • I love this model its so perfrect PDA but if be litle chiper & have flash well soo beter

  • How to transfer sms n contact no. to the SD card... any suggestions pls. Thank you..revert to [email protected]

  • Does this Phone Support SDIO????

  • I want to buy this mob...but how do I write text messages without a keyboard???

  • i got this phone (JAMin) 10 days before,but i found out the speaker volume and ring volume also is not working properly ,it seems to be silent. so please help to solve this problem.

  • 4GB working fine!

  • I use a 2GB san disk sd card in my Jamin and it works fine.

  • i have a question. Does SD-CARD 2GB or 4GB or bigger works on i-mate JAMin ? and does SDHC-Card works also or not? thanks in advance.

  • Do anyone knows if you can use gps on Jamin? TNX ;))

  • OK so no one answered my questions regarding the Jamin. I went and bought the thing anyway. Coming from someone who has been carrying a PDA and a phone around for years, this is the best device I have ever encountered. Aside from some small problems, mainly setup and me being too stupid to figure it out, the device works fine. For those of you who insist on complaining about speed and battery life, just remember all the features that you carry around in your pocket. After all we are still only in 2006!!!!!! And now for one great tip, download True Toolbar from www.valksoft.com it is just the thing to keep your device from getting slow because too many apps are running in the background. It's also got some other great features. Hope you all enjoy your Jamin. Quinton South Africa

  • My dear friends Please help me. I am in dire need as the camera on my Jamin refuses to take pictures in the 2M mode and gives error message of not enough memory, whereas a lot of memory is available. Secondly is there any way to create text message groups which is common feature in mobile phones. I have tries but could not find any ways to create groups. Please help

  • i buy i mate jamin so nice set working properlly but i think slower than i mate jam

  • Can any one help me to change messaging store to Card as using two months and processor some times slow

  • Hey Guys, I got the JAMin about three weeks ago now. It's a fantastic device, works perfectly without a glitch.I need some help from the more experienced users here to see how I can make the most out of this beast: 1-) I wanted to listen to the MP3 player with my normal headphones so I bought a 2.5mm to 3.5mm convertor. But I realised that the convertor kept coming off because the original jack has 4 nodes (1 must be for the remote funtions) where the 3.5mm headphone jack has 3 nodes. Is there a solution to this problem? 2-)Is it possible to assign a custom ringtone for the incoming messages? I only found that you can pick from the list rather than library. 3-)Is there an electronic version of the manual for it so I can carry one in the phone itself? Thanks everyone.

  • I am trying to decide between the K-Jam and Jamin. My biggest concern is if I can rotate the screen on the Jamin to use it horizontally, and secondly, how easy is it to use, will I need the keyboard of the K-Jam.

  • I got a JAMin few months back. Its great except camera anc contact navigation. Camera is although a 2MP but not worth. In contact, if you want to delete a group, you have no choice and you have to delete them individually. If anyone know the option how to delete a group of contacts then plz let me know. Modem works within the set but when it comes to be used as external wireless modem with pc, it gives problems and different errors.

  • Hi: I have a friend that bought a JAM plus a WIFI card. The only thing that I didn't like about this como is that the wifi card came out of the phono about 2mm, and I tought you might get the card damaged on the use (i.e get stucked in a pocket). That how I ended up lookig at a JAMIN, that I understand that is almost exactly the same than the JAM, but comes with the wifi feature inlcuded, a better OP system, and a Slower processor...I hate when pograms freezes, or hang,,, what's better: 1) JAM+WIFI CARD U$ 550= Fast processor, bad OP system, wifi card coming out...or 2) JAMIN U$ 620 = Slow Processor, Best OP System, Wifi includen= no parts coming out...??? Do both of this units (JAM & JAMIN) come with the pocket office (excel,word,ppt) loaded?? im lash from Chile

  • Hi, Can someone tell me if there is a way to send a 'contact' through SMS. When writing a new SMS the 'Insert' function in the 'Menu' doesnt work?! Maybe if it worked I could insert a contact (used to work that way in the Nokia comunicator)- so can you tell me how to turn it active? Please reply @ [email protected]

  • Have been using the JAMin now for over 3 months. E-mail sync and web browsing is excellent and the connectivity features superb - however, of the 7 bought for my work collegues and I 2 have 'stopped' working as mobile phones (mine included). You get the ring tone but when you answer nothing but silence - anyone else had this?

  • Hello Every One... One can told me, Is there any way to change the incoming Beam memory to storage card??? i m facing memory shortage on device memory... Please ping back, at [email protected] regards Abbas (PK)

  • it look nice but the processor speed could be much speeder

  • To Khashayar I think it better to buy i-mate jam than jamin becuace of processor the other features of jamin are not that important leastwise in iran 's network GHorbanat reza

  • I have oppened this site n posting this from the jamin :D this phone is incredible really the best u can get with a price like that

  • hi, i want some advice about this phone it comes up that this one is really good but if some one could help me and tell me to buy it or not... thanks alot

  • i think it is best set of the world it has good function.i use jamin 4 3months and workn better.its display is prety good.its a mini pc.

  • I am new to the pc phone market but am highly interested in purchasing one! So far I like the I-mate JAMin aka Qtek S200, or O2 XDA Neo�lol Please tell me, what all the fuss is about w/imates? Cause I am utterly confused! I spent hours on end researching all three and found there all exactly the same! Is it just a name thing? Or is there more reliability in the I-mates cause there more expensive than the others? Or cause its more popular? I looked at the voting results on all 3 and and the ratings are higher for the I-mates! There all made by HTC right? Please give me, advice befour I make a mistake!..thanks for your time..

  • I've had my iMate JANin for 2 months now and I LOVE IT!!! This is the most brilliant thing ever made by man. No more getting angry while waiting in the car/restaurant/wherever for your girlfriend. Just pop open SimCity or Age of Empires and play for hours. Best thing is you don't have to explain why you're taking your PDA with on your date coz its your phone!!! HA HA HA. Not the fastest in performance but with a 1 Gig SD card you can have a movie, some MP3's and lots of applications with you on the go. I'm already used to the on-screen dialing and typing so I can use it to dial and send SMSs while driving without pain. (I know I'm not supposed to...) I really love this little phone and recommend it to anybody contemplating buying one! Haven't been disappointed once. Jaco (My last 5 phones: Sony Ericcson W810, Samsung D500, Samsung E700, Nokia 6610, Ericsson R600, Siemens M35)

  • I mean the company who made this mobile they should make it the latest and the best. And I know the company can make that mobile. I need the best specification with that I mentioned before.

  • I am ali frome tehran,I have JAMin .it doesnt have any diffrents with Jam except in camera.even its CPU(speed) is less than JAM.an other thing is its sms ring that we cant stop its sound when it is ringing.i cant writte English well but thank you so much."AliReza Masoomi"

  • Mousa Interesting about 65K and 256K screen. I have the JAMin with 65K touchscreen, my buddy has the SE P910 with 256K touchscreen. The JAMin is 3times crisper, clearer, vibrant than the SE P910. About 5 different people here are gonna get themselves the JAMin after seeing my JAMin. Compare for yourself on owrking models. It just proves, specifications don't tell the full story: The proof is in the pudding, and I love my pudding ;-)

  • Mousa....you are asking for a lot in 2006. 4Gig RAM...my pc has 512meg...trying to get another 512, to have 1Gig and I'm running graphics and CAD and G.I.S software. A little phone/ pda with 4gig RAM....holey moley!!!! No phone has that in 2006! I think a nokia has a little 4gig harddrive as normal mem, but not RAM! Remember a spinning harddrive eats batteries! Normal RAM, like built in and SD cards don't consume power like a spinning harrdrive. Remember: moving parts=wear 'n rear=unreliability. A top of the line notebook/laptop with 2gig RAM and a 80Gig harddrive might be what you need.

  • Mousa This is not the latest and greatest phone, the latest and greatest is the JASJAM. This phone is a few months old(7 or 8..unsure) This phone is great on features, it's small dimensions, excellent screen, but for 3G etc, take the JASJAM. It's also a question of price and value for money, this phone is excellent value for money, but not top-of-the-range. It's stable, fast, good battery life, good resale value...but it's up to you.

  • Phillip You seem like at least a mildly intelligent person, however some of your actions don�t make sense. You go into a mobile phone shop, look at different phones, more specifically, you see phones with and without keypads/number pads (with and without plastic buttons). You decide to take one without a keypad, coz it�s thin, stylish, full of features, but no keypad and you make your decision to buy it. Now you are angry, coz you can�t save a received call instantaneously while driving on the road. Two issues, here: You shouldn�t be typing any text while driving, it�s illegal in every country I can think of, and you are placing other people in danger by performing such a stupid act. The phone has a call register, why not save it later when you are parked? Are you angry at yourself or the sleek, sexy, thin, stylish phone? If you wanted a keypad, there was 10 000 other run-of-the-mill-phones with keypads for you, like a Nokia 6111, with simple and ease-of-use menus and functions. THE PHONE DID NOT HAVE A KEYPAD TO START WITH�look at the box, the internet, the plastic mock-up�look at the real phone before you buy it. Or you could buy a phone with both, but be warned, the SE P800, P900, P910 had cracking and breaking problems on the keypads. P800: little blue �ears� on side of keyboard breaks off. P900/910: Keypad cracks in centre. Buy the JASJAM or KJAM As for typing a new number while walking (not driving-illegal and dangerous) : Press green �call� button once, magically the keypad-look-screen� appears with big enough numbered buttons to touch with your thumb, unless you have a HUGE thumb. Press the numbers, then the green button again, viola, a call is being made, with the stylist still snugly stored away ;-)

  • Hi Guys.. just wana know if Jamin is right choice , cause i am going to buy it today or tomorow. pls suggest if it is worth it or now.any bugs or some thing like that. pls advise i will be greatful

  • I don't know why they did not but the latest technology where are the Latest Technology ?!!! 1.Speed should be 520Mhz. 2.Camera should be more than 3MP. 3.Polyphonics should be (72 Channels). 4.RAM should more than 64MB examble(4GB). 5.TFT screen should be 256 or 16M colors. 6.Should be 3G mobile This is the best for buying the PDA+Mobile

  • Hi All.... I hv dis device from 5 mnts....So Many Problmes I faced....in Sound Hardware is not working, Screen Tap when I press 1 in phone then instead on 1 on screen seems 2....... ETC. PLEASE HELP IF SOMEONE KNOWS ALL ABOUT. THX SANJAY

  • hi I have bought a JamIn just yesterday I want to know if I can send files and pictures from my laptop to JamIn with WiFi ??? If yes, how can I do that? thanks so much for ur helps

  • imate jam innnnnn... one of the best pda ever have, i use to o2 xda, xdaIIs and mini, but imate jam in rock on .. allthe time in my pocket but.. somewhow its slow when handle the multitask, but otherwise one of the best thing ever came in the planet

  • Thanks, but one hand operation im afraid not!!!,Lets say as unlikely as it may be you want to call a number you dont have stored in your contacts!! you are in fact bound to using the pen unless of course you have mitiscule fingers. Thats not magic thats voodoo!! Again the autosave 1 step process is non existent, you are bound to the pen, so pull the car over, unbuckle, pull out your vodoo pen and live in servitude to your phones time wasting construct. 2 megapixels is prehistoric, unless you run a business to vision impaired people ..he he ie Nokia n80 is a t least 3.megapixels is a much better bet!! and lastly the baclight feature does not respond to any of the front navigating buttons it means grappling with the on/off button and if you want battery life then you cant turn that off, in fact id like to know how you can turn that feature off alltogether, nope this $1200.00 phone is ergonomically brain dead, sorry1! folks!!

  • Hi Phillip Dialling out is so cool: hold phone in right hand, left hand in your left pocket or holding your coffee, now Press on contacts(small white line below screen) with right thumb: Magically the contact list pops up... Now hold the down part of the "round-navigator-button" in .... magically you start scrolling through your contacts....after about 2 seconds, the alphabet letters A,B,C, D...appears in sequence...hold your thumb on the "down" till you get to the letter your friends name is stored under...say.."K" Now let go, press again to scroll down the names/surnames starting with "K". When you are on the name, press the green button or silver select button. One thumb operation...NICE!!!!!!!!! HEY??? If you received a call and want to save the new number, just save it...the menu is there! I never used the transcriber on my SonyErr phones, coz my "e" is way to ugly to be recognised by any software anyway, so don't sweat it, the screen-keyboard is way better! Set your battery warning! All phones light their backlight when menus aare pressed, so does this one...if the battery is flat, charge it with the charger or the magic-usb cable charger(supplied) on your pc... Excellent 2mp camera and video capture and pplayback is good for me...screen is crystal cclear.

  • I use to have PDA2k & now upgrade myself to jamin. features improved but processor is slow, results in frequent hang & restarts.

  • Can anyone tell me if SD/MMC and MMC memory cards are the same? I have one from my Nokia 9300 I would like to use in an i-mate JAMin

  • So your jamin phone rings, you fiddle unclipping buttons and accept calls easily enough. But try dialling out!! The virtual keyboard is useless which means you are a slave to using the pen for basic phone functions!! Where is the autosave feature?? non existent and the transcriber program has a mind entirely of its own !! the power down button is useless as you cannot use any feature on the phone without lighting it up with the rhs button,without choosing a permanent on zero battery life function!! This is a useful business tool let down by a crappy camera, crappy phone and an extremely crappy video sorry!!!!

  • this is a nice mobile but this shape is very egly its feature is complected thanx

  • i have one used its working very well but i have 2 problems 1-the camera does not working i mean i puch it to applicat it seems working in procces then notheing . 2-when i choose between the stylish writing it takes like 30 sec untill coming up is that commen with jamin. reply please soon thanks

  • Does this device have blackberry technologie. Ie Push email?

  • does it have radio or not?

  • hi guys can anyone judge between the sound quality of jamin and n91,is there anyone who rather go for n91 instead jamin becuase of 4gb hdd,sound quality,....? please help me

  • hello guys can anybody explain does the video display on this fone is smooth i mean the movies ,songs etc or it has a jerky result plz let me know nd what is da wuality of the video made by this fone ...thanx

  • hi.. jamin user plzz let em know how to trasfer messages phone book in memory card. i am using jamin for last 4 days. i like verry much.

  • Dear anonyms I understand that, not every set is perfectly suited to the imagination. But still the biggest factor hurting me is the re-sell value, and now my set got the speaker change� I value declines dramatically. As I said. Speaker problem is not wid every hand set. But its there in every 15 � 20 set. Anyway thankz the suggestion on how to zoom in. I still say ! i-mate JAMin is 50 / 50 machine by far.

  • I want to buy the JAMin but i want to know .... is this phone's procesor going to be faster with 2gb memory card ? Pls post me ... tnx

  • Synchronization is excellent, mine works while I'm permanently online with our mailserver and networkserver and internetserver and connected to 7 different printers/plotters. I'm constantly working on our LAN and my JAMin synchronises every-time! If you set the resolution to 1.3mp you can zoom, at 2mp it auto-focuses and it has a micro(close-up shots) and normal setting. Excellent value for money with MEGA features. I have a real digital still camera with a real flash to take night pics...with OPTICAL and digital zoom. If you really know anything about cameras....you know digital zoom doesn't mean much.Optical zoom is important To be honest, a 1.3mp camera would have been fine for me, as I use my real-digital-still camera as a "camera" My JAMin's ringer is excellent, the rear-loudspeaker has slight distortion when set on FULL VOLUME, but as with my hi-fi and car radion, when there is distortion, I turn it down from FULL to say 80% and guess what?..I can hear no distortion, and all that needs to be heared. I actually like it, because when someone calls with a bad microphone on his phone, I can "CRANK-UP" the volume to compensate for the "Other" phone's soft mic. Thus...the speaker is just perfect for a person who understands the difference between audible sound and distortion. It's excellent on mp3's...I'm happy, the earphones have excellent quality as well. "..speaker phone burst off" what did you do? weird? yeah take it in and play the same song to the agents, maybe you want 50db of base from a half inch speaker...good luck. Again...I'm happy...really and content...etc.. If you don't like it, please spare yourself the grief and sell it, then go out and get the phone you want. If one guy is happy with his 330iBMW and the next guy isn't...sell it, buy a Merc SLK55. Don't hang on to your 330iBMW and hate it coz it's not as fast as a SLK55. Buy the SLK55 and be happy and be happy with the higher price...don't complain coz it's not a Bugatti Vereyon, coz that's more expensive.

  • Great phone. I have been using it for a few months. It is very user friendly. The only dis-advantage is that the built in phone memory is not enough. Overall great toy.

  • hi.. jamin users. i had buy jamin yesterday, plzz let me know can we send group messages. how we can make groups. if any one know plzz mail me . its urgent.

  • Well Well ! this JAMin is 50/50 machine, i have been using it for couple of weeks now. Design and features are excellent on paper. but using curtain features on phone is one hell of a job. Synchronization is very typical, it wont work once another network connection is already enabled on the machine, that means any LAN or Dial-Up connection. So first connect your deivce then activate your LAN or Dial-Up. Phone Book is poor of JAMin. Comparatively to Moto V3x or Nokia N series phone. There is no such feature to select multiple entries in phone book to copy the contacts to SIM memory at once. You need to do it one by one, by going to edit > menu > copy to SIM. Camera of JAMin ! Big WOW - 2.0 mpx, without any ZOOM and flash. LOL. Fine its a business mobile, but y i-mate have this Sologan "for business - for plessure - for life", it must be only "FOR _ _ _ _ _" !!! IMPORTANT !!! JAMin got this problem of Ringer and Loud speaker not working. I am facing the same problem and i discuss this with few mobile pros, they said JAMin have this manufacturing fault in many hand sets, if you keep the volume of your device and phone MAXimum and you use it frequently for listen music on device,"which i tense to do alot" it means usage of speaker phone is frequent, then the speaker phone burst off(out of order). i took my phone for the warranty, they said speaker phone needs to change and set will be opened. i have spend aprrox: USD 550$ for this JAMin (brand new). In my opinion if you still like JAMin, then go get a set without warranty or second hand device. Atleast you dont suffer heavy loss and Pain. ****** NOTE ****** If any one facing similar problems, do write to me at - [email protected] ******************************************** Thankz

  • Yes ! you can personalize MP3 as ring tone by following steps: Place your MP3 files which you want as rign tones in the following directory My Device > Windows > Rings - (Paste or Copy files here) after this your files will be displayed in the tones list.

  • please i have a question can i personalize mp3s as ringing tones i am waiting for an answer thanks

  • I had to configure the i-mate as a modem for a colleague of mine through the USB port and the Laptop just did not detect the USB as a modem. Do I need a ROM upgrade ? Has anybody configured JAMin as external modem ? Thanks

  • Hi everyone Choosing a phone: I chose the JAMin coz it's so thin!!! The keyboard phones are MUCH thicker, if you are gonna use it a lot every day, fine, I type an sms once in 3 days, so the tap screen is fine for me. Skype...have not used it, can't tell you anything. Processor: 200mghz...doesn't mean much to me, coz the applications opens and closes fast enough for me, another 1/10th of a second faster won't make me spend another USD500 on any phone. fax service: Not using it yet. active sync settings on my JAMin: Start programs- active Sync-menu-connections: mine has 'USB in the rectangular block and a tick in "Synchronise all PC's.... then under menu-options-settings In "friendly name" is written Windows PC If there is conflict: Replace the item..... Event logging: None under menu-options tick what you want sync-ed. Calibrating screen, mine is fine- take it back, it has a guarantee. Hope this helps..

  • This is the greatest thing that I ever had in my hands! Super super peace of work...

  • Can someone enlighten me as to the approcimate amount of talktime it gets? thanks.

  • NEED HELP URGENTLY PLEASE!! Is anyone experiencing "ALIGNMENT" problems with their JAMin?? What I mean is if I tap on a certain item, another item pops up. Similarly, while using the keyboard, tapping a certain key (example I) would result in P being written on the screen. Re-aligning the screen isnt solving the problem..it corrects the malfunction only for a short while. If anyone is facing a similar problem do let me know asap. thanks.

  • can anyone tell me if i can use fax service on my i-mate jamin

  • hi plz can somebody tell me hows da camera of JAMin its 2 MP is it worth it or not or is it comparible to k750 or w800 camera which were the jack of all trades in 2MP .thanks

  • @ Arash The speaker volume is fine, it is not Overly loud...to be 100% honest, in a VERY VERY noisy environment, you might battle to hear, but at home, in the office, in the car, walking in the street with normal background noise, the sound is excellent and clear. The loudspeaker at the back: When playing mp3's, the sound quality is very good, when receiving a call and putting that call on handsfree, there is a chance of distortion if your volume is at full, just slide the volume down a bit, then magically the distortion goes away and the person's voice is quite audible. I rarely use that function anyway, as I have bluetooth when driving and keep the phone against my ear when talking normally- I don't like public conversations and talking loudly to a phone lying on my desk, it's fine pressed against my ear. The earphones have Excellent sound when listening to mp3's. The 2gig card is a little expensive here in South Africa...maybe next year.. Peace out....

  • CAn Somebody Explain The Sound Quality Please,I Want To Know If It As Good As Sony Ericsson`s Poly Handsets,Like W810 Or W900.Please

  • It say it has Wi-Fi b/g. Has anyone checked if it did connect to g as well? Please reply quick as I'm planning to get this purely because it says has Wi-Fi b/g.

  • hi...! jamin user plzzlet me now abt the jamin. i would like to buy jamin there is any prob with jamin. wht abt camera, spaeker, wifi. thank`s

  • Hi everyone I got the JAMin. Excellent pocket pc/ phone!!!! Thinner and shorter than SE P800/P910!! Nice and sleek and thin and stylish...I just get complements, before the people see the screen and menus and features....etc.. GUESS WHAT??? WHILE CONNECTED TO YOUR PC VIA THE USB-CABLE...IT CHARGES ITSELF THROUGH THE USB CABLE!!!! You don't need an extra charger for the office!!!!...COOL!!! Voice dialing should work, I haven't tried voice commands yet. Mike and speaker vol is fine!!! Handsfree speaker is overly loud(some distorsion), but I'm trying to think how many times I used handsfree on my old SE-P800... In 2,5 years...maybe 4 times. Now I use it normally(against ear) or bluetooth...I don't need handsfree anyway, so if it's too loud or too soft, would depend on your surrounding noise. But I'm pretty sure, you can set the volume of the speaker down as to minimise distortion. Maybe it can go SO LOUD to compensate for other inferior phones with low mic volumes...coz then we will complain that handsfree is too soft. So, people, if it is too loud(distorted) - turn the volume down a bit...that's what my logic tells me. If I would upgrade soon for whatever reason, I'll look at the K-Jam, but I'm verrrrrry happy with my JAMin. Cheers....

  • Has any one tried using MS Voice Command software on Jamin. I tried many a times but it failed every time.

  • Jamin (made in Taiwan) and Jamin (Made in China). Any difference? Quality?

  • hey guys does jamin is capable for opening attachments ..... i mean can we see oour attachments

  • Is it possible to connect this phone to the internet and pay little money for calls? Please Help!

  • hi everyone i had used p910i,n70 nokia and now jamin,i must say its a great pda with a bit slow procesor ,the only down side is that its a windows system and like any windows its unreliable and have bugs ,but all these problems r fixed when u restart,or do the master reset(which is hardly required if u do not installed unsafe softwares). so the punch line is buy it u will enjoy it

  • i like the feel of imate but not sure which one i should purchase between Jamin or K-Jam. My requirement is solid reliability and performance of device both as a phone and pda e.g. ability to take/make calls while an application is running without o/s freezing etc.

  • To Nick : Yes the device can be used as an MP3 player and its got one of the finest headsets among all phones. MP3's can be used as ringtones ,provided you know which folder should the file be copied to.

  • Somebody explain this to me: Press and Hold the center key on the keypad and tab and hold(for 2 seconds) the empty space between the start and connectivity tabs on the screen.let go of both. Watch what happens. This really is a 007 phone. Also press and hold the center key on the keypad and tab and hold the clock.....see the RUN option? This is not just a feature on the Jamin. I have tried it on many Pocket PC's and they all are the same.

  • I like the features of your sets It is difficult for me to change because I know that you are the best in your field But please take care of the speaker (handsfree) It is not clear for both me and the other party

  • hi can you plug in headphones and use as an mp3 player, and can you use mp3 as ringtone cheers nick

  • @ Srini I put a Kingston 1Gig SDcard in and it worked first time. Check if the little lock switch is in the open or unlocked position. Test the card in another device, like a Pentax camera or Samsung phone or one of those multi-card-readers. It could be a faulty card, but if it works in other devices, the handset could be faulty. Be advised that a 1gig card only gives approx 990Meg of useable memory, it's like all storage devices...always slightly less than what it says on the packet/sticker.

  • @ Leah First step: Do you have internet access activated from your service provider? and...make sure what system is activated by your service provider.

  • @ JR You got a cable, use the cable, it draws less power than having the bluetooth on. I use the usb cable and am able to navigate to the phone or directly to the SD card. I only sync every now-and-then anyway, so if your usb port is at the rear of your pc, keep the cable plugged in.

  • Great phone. The only major problem I have with it is that it would have been brilliant if it had 3G. So close...

  • I have just got this phone/PDA and am very happy with it. Can't wait to get a decent size memory card for it. Overall a great unit with great features.

  • hi all, i am using this phone from last 3 months using 512 mb memory card & it is working superb, i have no complains except the movie recording is not good and have short screen recording not like jam full screnn recording, is there any way to do it recording in full screen & with a better quality like jam. Those who does'nt know how to disc gprs, just press and hold the red key(call end) for about 5 sec & it will be dc. any body needs any kind of help do write to me, i will help u out, this device you can do any thing with it, i have my gprs working extremly good, phone with the latest firm ware, don't forget to upload to a latest firmware & u won't have any problem using this phone, since i started using i-mate jam series i don't like to use any other handsed looks like i am addicted to it now, my jam black was working fine & now jamin is also supereb accept if someone tells me how to solve the movie recording issue.

  • Hi everybody I need your help pleas. i am going to buy JAMin but i need some clarifications from the users. 1) Dose it gets stuck frequently, spicily when you are using some program and at the same time you receive a call? 2) Is it very sensitive for example, dose it get dame easily if it fall down?

  • I've been using the JAM 850 for well over a year, all over the U.S. and in Mexico, before and after the AT&T/Cingular switch, with no problem. The JAMin is an upgraded version, which is why I'm getting it, and how I saw the question in your post. Hope this helps, and good luck.

  • hi everyone i really need help i am about to get the jamin but i've heard that its speaker volume is so low?? is that true can anyone inform me?? and how is it compared to the stereo speakers of the kjam?!!!!

  • I've just acquired a Jamin... second one to be exact... the 1st was returned to the manufacturer after a day. I've had this one for 2 days now. The Good: - Size... fits in the palm nicely. Good stylus - Feel... very tactile finish. good build quality - Screen... bright and clear - Comms methods... IR, BT, USB, WiFI, Edge The no so good... but okay: - CPU... not super fast but will do - OS... Windows Mobile... hey... Windows 3.1 was also icky. Long way to go but okay. - ActiveSync... does appear to like Bluetooth. Is a known issue. No solution yet. The bad: - Speakerphone... awful! just can't use it. Significant distortion. - Microphone... when used as a speaker phone the caller reported that the sound levels faded in and out. Also electronic hissing was very evident when voice pitch is high. - Ear Speaker... low volumes even at max. You will struggle in a noisy environment. - Call connection... not stable. Calls dropped out where my Samsung D500 held firm. - Missed Calls?!?... not too sure about this but I appear to be getting A LOT of missed calls without hearing the handset ring... Had it for 3 days so can't say for sure. Perhaps explained by the next point... - Phone app... come on Microsoft... you can do better. Tedious... and slow. All in all... could be an awesome device... if you don't call alot. I do! and it just doesn't work for me. Looking for an alternative... Come on Sony Ericsson... the P990 is taking far too long... actually so is the PS3 from Sony... hey! common thread!

  • I have my I-mate Jamin working on Cingular (usa). It is fantastic! I, unfortunately (waste of time and money), tried the Eten m600+ and there is absolutely no comparison with anything that is important. There is no significant change in performance (maybe a bit noticable loading a program the first time- once loaded, seems as fast as m600). My I-mate works flawlessly with our corporate Exchange Direct Push email, the Bluetooth works perfect with a Moto earpiece and actually works as expected with my 2005 BMW Bluetooth (downloads contacts; can activate using BMW's voice system)! I chose to purchase Microsoft's Voice Command which makes my Bluetooth phone functions work as I want them to!!! The only thing I found that I don't like is the Clearview PDF viewer. I can't seem to uninstall it so I can use Adobe's. But that is really pretty minor. I rate this a 10!

  • This is the best phone I've used since I started using mobile phones! It's beauty and functionality combined fantastically. I'd give it 9.5 out of 10.

  • Is anyone in the US using the I-mate jamin, if yes, does it work properly and with what network?

  • i bought this phone. The Display is very good. The phone is nice but the sound quality is very poor. The volume is very much slow.

  • i am using this ppc for last 3 months, n its the best ppc i ever used. anyway if some 1 is still confused abt this , then send me email on [email protected]

  • Hi thr., this is not like JAM< even if u remove the batt for a week the ppc will not format, u can go to settings and click clear storage, and click 1234, and it will format,

  • hey walid, jus remove ur battery n keep ur phone ideal for 0.5 hr and after that jus reload ur battery. then the system will start frm its default settings... then u can use ur phone as usual. one thing u've to remember is that never try to restore anyting frm ur old memory card. change it if posble or make a format. hope this will sort out ur issue...

  • can you help me format my JAMin. A program named SOTI caused serious damage to my I-mate. It is not working anymore. How to reinstall its native programs.

  • what i-mate needs to do deadly is to enhance 2 things in the Jamin: 1- the sound and speaker quality(louder-anti noise) 2- the battery life Do this i-mate and you will dominate the market.

  • i ordered 2 jamin for me and my fiend but when i tried it i was shocked...!!! the speaker quality was horrible , the ringtone is very low , we could not hear it ringing when we were in the next room i think the speaker of jamin is of low quality , i think they should have provide it with the speakers of k-Jam i turned the 2 jamin to the supplier and i lost money

  • SD Card of 512mb is working fine with me.

  • is this pda phone very easy to hand down? how long is the battery can use?

  • im sorry i forgot the mention the very few negatives about the phone... infact, there is only 1.. the battery life is around 24 hours with heavy use and with standby it is about 48 hours...according to all the battery details it is supposed to be 150 hours during standby...however the heavy use battery life is slightly better than the amount written... concerned to speed that many people are asking about on the internet...it is good...wht i mean is that a 416 Mhz would be like driving a ferrari, but it is good enough to drive a Mercedes... overall i am satisfied with my phone...if u want to go for a windoes mobile, i would advise this one...

  • i just got my i-mate jamin yesterday. its absolutely wonderful. workds 100% correctly...dont listen to all the rumors aroud the internet, cause there all wrong! imate jamin does not reset every 5 minutes...neither is it slow...i think its just perfect. i have used many imate devices before(i.e. JASJAR, PDA2, PDA2K, PDA-N, SP3i, SP5m, but i think that the best of all was the JAMin...if u want to go for teh imate brand, or a pda with a phone built in, go for it....imate jamin is the best option u got!!! By the way, does anybody know if skype works on this...ive heard u can clock the processor speed upto its required, has anyone tried it?? if yes please post reply on this area...i will come here and check later...

  • Does any one know what is the biggest capacity card that jamin can take? I mean SD card. thanks

  • PEOPLE PEOPLE! stop all the panicing about the jamin, man that pda works like magic, everyone who wants to buy it GO AHEAD < we've been hapily "married" 2 months now, amazing work, master piece, dont think twice, just go n get it, windows media player-powerpoin-word-excel THE REAL DEAL MAN! the heck with o2 xda, JAMIN IZ DA REAL DEAL YAW , peace out!

  • nishir, i had a look at the specs of both devices, the imate JAMin and the Atom. Well wht i would say is that it depends.... everything is similar except the processor speed. Atom has 400 Mhz while JAMin just has 200Mhz. if u use applications like skype, than i would advise Atom, btu if u want it just fro normal use and a good phone, than i would advise JAMin.

  • i have jamin...you have jamin... WE ALL HAVE JAMin... ***JAMin ROCKS*** umer, the speed is good. it is not amaizng just good. i was expecting it to be faster, but it is the same speed as my Nokia N70, N80, N90, N91. I have all of these phones at the moment. JAMin is probably slightly faster than all fo them. All of teh otehrs have similar speed.

  • Montyrial, This forum isno joke. If you want to joke please go and joke in a joke forum. I can give you a sit e of a joke forum that u do not have any difficulties finding one.

  • Hi everybody, I am now currently using JAM. I have some questions about this phone. Is it worth upgrading?

And is this phones sound better than JAM(loud and clear), and to saad, if you r from Pakistan or Saudi Arabia, can u tell me its price in rupees or riyals? Thanks in advance. Hope to reply soon... Regards, M.Taimur Jahangir

  • I'm getting a little bored with all the comments from people making judgements without trying the device or doing any research. And with people making ridiculous demands of the manufacturer: "Why doesn't it have a 256k colour screen instead of a 16k colour screen?" "Why doesn't it have a radio?" "200Mhz is a much smaller number than a 400MHz processor therefore it must be much slower right ?" "Why doesn't it provide me with a deep tissue massage everytime it rings?" Really people... Look around first: The Texas Instruments OMAP 850 processor is a completely different architecture to the previous processors in these devices, so in reality the megahertz rating means nothing.

  • cAN I record calls with K-jam or Jamin?

  • hi guys, i just purchased an i-mate JAMin and i could not find the software niether realpleyer nor the MMS, plz guys if you have to know about where to find them, let me know .. i realy need to view .rm files and also send messages throu the MMS thanx guy the best of you will respond fast :-)

  • GOD HEALP ME.I lost my i-mate on my way to work.And now i have this olde nokia(3310).

  • hi guys. i recently purchased a jamin phone(south Africa).what a winner.only think i would like someone to help me with is:1.donno how to change my alarm rings and does anyone know if u set your alarm and then switch the device off, why the alarm doesn't get activated.seems as if alarm works only if phone is switched on.your advive will be much appreciated.Thanks.Dimitri.

  • So, to me it does not seem to be a question between the imate jamin and the k-jam BUT rather between imate jamin and the imate black. The only differences are: - windows 5 (Not sure what major improvements they have introduced) - EDGE (looks like it should have been 3G) - Processor (looks like its worse even though its dualcore) So, why should i spend more money on a new generation phone? Am i missing something here? Finally, who actually knows whether Skype works or not. If not then is this a limitation on the software or hardware side? Finanlly finally, if this is not the right phone then how long should we expect to wait before the next one comes out???

  • Hello all, I recently purchased a Qtek S200, and my understanding is that the device is the exact same thing that the I-mate Jamin. I am a I-mate user, and I found I-mate support fairly decent. They even replaced a JAM unit after more than 8 months. Of course you need a lot of charm and patience with their US support partners (and over a month of talking every other day with them). Qtek does not have ROM upgrades (or I can't find them) like I-mate does, and I am founding out that the newest Jamin firmware update is a great improvement in terms of speed and battery life. - Can I install that I-mate update on my Qtek?? - Since I can't register my unit on I-mate's site (EMEI would not match I-mate serials), could any Jamin user send me this latest update?? Thanks to all of your for these valuable forums !!!

  • Friends please.The black jam plays videos perfectly.The [k-jam jamin]crapy.I play all video formates on my black jam and its perfect.

  • Hi ................., You are welcome, Ans 1: You have to install Real Player in order to run rm files. I think its freely available on their website. but I have a copy of it. Whenever u need it i can send it to u. Ans2: I dont talk too much, but i never had battery problem, (I charge it everyday). It depends on use, but i use it too much for playing mp3, internet, watching clips, plus 6-8 calls each of 3 mins average and it does abt 1 day. and there are many options available in the settings menu if u want to conserve battery. Yes there are some problems as u know noting is perfect. The problems that i get r slow speed n video 176x144. Well, I really hate nokias, I dont know your 'type of usage' but nokia and i-mate cannot be compared. anyways my email is [email protected] if u want to ask more questions. Saad,..................

  • i m having the same problem .... i dont weather to buy the jamin or k jam or neither both pl help me

  • Does anyone know how to activate line 2, I have a line 2 enabled sim card in, can not believe it is not possible!

  • Saad................ Thanks alot for answering my wonders. though i am not done asking yet lol! 1-can the realplayer be found with the WMP or should i install it? i really have alot of RM format Videos,do you think it will play it? 2-How about the TALK TIME? STAND BY TIME? and does the JAMin really have some problems as people over here saying? and you said that the Video shoot is bad but how bad?? 122x177? or what? planing to buy this cell or the NOKIA N80,if you were me which one would you go for and why! THANKS...

  • The jamin is crap.Iam a big fan of i-mate.but i must say there is a big problem with WINDOWS 5.0 in the -k jam-jamin-. i bought the k-jam then jamin and now iam back to jam-black. Man MADE IN CHINA is a scary thing. Video problems very slow crapy camera.If you like watching quality video on you'r i-mate buy the black JAM.I lost a lot of money on k-jam and jamin.

  • The mobile sux, from all the ways, it's very very damn slow, plus I have to charge it everyday, the software is a crappy one, no special features on it ....

  • hi guys ama about to buy this fone but i was thinkin that i shud get the jam black coz its processor speed is kool,,,,better than jamin,,,,so i was wandering except the wi-fi and 2mp cam feature wats the thing which is better in this jamin than jam black,,,,,,,plz help me tell me which one shud i buy?????????

  • Hi thr, Ans1. its sound is good but not loud like nokia. Ans2. Yes u can play any format like wmv, wma, mp3, avi,... but for more extensions u have to use TCMP player which is freeware and very good Ans3. Video is not good Ans4. These pppcs' are made by HTC in taiwan but sold through different carriers, (i am not sure abt this ques) Saad

  • Ans 1: Yes its good but not best, not loud as Nokias .(NOT best) Ans 2: Yes you can play, wav, wmv, wma, mp3 etc, but for playing Mpeg1 and other formats you can download a free software (TCMP Player)which is very stable and fast. Ans 3: For Video, i will say poor Ans 4: Not sure , but these mobiles are made by HTC corp. and sold through different carriers, like O2, I-mate, Qtek, but for me best is i-mate.

  • Saad........... I was wondering if you can help me answering some improtant things i need to know before i go for this JAMin! 1-is the sound of it loud and clear,ringtones? 2-can i play any format like i am doing with the normal PC windows? 3-how good can it take video? --x--?? 4-the i-mate's in my country are made in china,is the i-mate a company from china or us??

  • really a great phone it just lacks for little more speed

  • Hello LT about the k-jam.IT has som problems playing video BIG problems.I highly recommend SUPER JAM OR JAMIN. Good luck

  • Hi iam using this Mobile for abt 2 weeks. I think its the best PPC + Phone coz of many reasons. Its 2 mp camera results is more than expected except video. and this phone can easily be operated by one hand which is a big improvment. Also people who say its slower as compared to JAm, thats true but its not that slower. After upgrading to the latest SW ver. the battery has improved and is faster. I have used some pocket pcs but this one is best from all. I cureently having JAM and this one. The main improvments in this mobile as compared to JAM are: Better display Can be operated by one hand easily No backup battery so u r free from Data loss Win 5.0 is great both r 150gms but this one feels lighter Better casing then JAM 2.0Mp camera is too much improved Batterylife is better Wifi and more But some bad points r: Video capture of JAM is better This processor is slower (not that slow) Any questions plz ask here, i will try to answer. Saad.

  • folks instead of wasting time here and asking little things read the user quide u will find all the answers.

  • hi.. to jamin users... can this phone vibrate and ring at the same time.. and can it vibrate in silent mode.. i know this ques. is a bit silly but my last phone. motorola A925 cudnt vibrate and ring at the same time.. so i m a bit concerned. feed bakc will be apreciated...

  • Hi... I'm currently using a phone on "3" network in Australia but planning to switch to this PDA. I was told by "3" customer service that it is not possible. Is that right?

  • No one has mentioned the camera's macro ability. I want to take pictures of documents. Any comments? Most cameras are useless in this area

  • JAMin versus K-JAM I have been searching online for 2 weeks for info to decide between JAMin or K-JAM, and I didn't find a true and clear comparison. JAMin: Has 2MP CMOS camera (BIIIG DIFFERENCE) K-JAM: 1.3MP normal camera (fair but not comparable to Jamin) JAMin: BlueTooth v2 K-JAM: BlueTooth v1.2 (not a problem) JAMin: SD for extra memory K-JAM: mini-SD (even though mini-SD is newer, SD reads mini-SD whereas the newest doesnt read SD, weird) JAMin: no Keypad K-JAM: very sexy very comfortable very durable Keypad So basically every geek (not pejorative) on the net will tell you if you want the camera go for the JAMin and if you want the Keypad go for the K-JAM. WELL NO $H!T EINSTEINS! (I REALLY WANTED THE CAM and I REALY WANTED THE KEYPAD) It's a tuff call and that's why we're here. I never post opinions, i usually only look for them. But since so many people had the same question as me with no answers, here's the deal. I checked both pieces in a showroom here in Dubai. I just BOUGHT the JAMIN! The reason is simple: They digital keypad on screen is an alternative, but slower than the keypad. ALSO, a big factor in my decision is the Decuma Alphabetic handwriting recognition built-in both devices. U can simply write IN YOUR OWN handwriting and its changes to electronic text automatically. Im not talkin like the old palm where u have to write letter after letter, u just write as u would on a real paper, using the full screen writing wherever u want. I tried it, and it was so precise - 95% - i have a nice handwriting) So finally, this amazing built-in recognizer made me choose for the JAMin and basically the amazing 2MP camera (check out the net for crazy pics it can take). Also JAMin is newer but this doesnt always mean better, but in case it does ;) Ok enough, Im gonna go play with my new Mega-kingkong-in-ur-palm-Toy!

  • It's a beautiful set with higher ROM Memory

  • Posted by khachig: I found one serious problem with the phone, I donno if anyone can help me with it. The phone is ON, after few hours, suddenly I'm out of the network coverage, though I still see the network signal OK. I cant recieve calls or SMS, i need to restart the device. Did anyone face this issue before? I switched the devce with a new one & the problem persists. Hi khachig, I can have a stab at this one. First of all, which service provider are you with? I heard with the O2 atom, running with Vodafone that there were delay problems in reconnection to the network. I saw a solution posted, which basically said that to resolve the issue change from tri or dual band to single band, and the phone will reconnect to the network alot sooner. Of course not very helpful if using your phone internationally. Cheers, Mike First of all, wh

  • As usual its camera is not betar than other phon from nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung. Always you cannot compare I-mate 's camera with there mobiles same gernashen.

  • for the guy who want to replace his w800 with I-mate, I dont advice you to do so, the MP3 fucnctionality in SE W800 is much better, and the camera of W800 is great .. and the imate one (even its 2 MP) cant be compared to it .. I made the same mistake , dont do like I did !

  • i think its great and i dont have one. we dont like the display and there is no flash. but at least i can spell unlike ali who apparently had one

  • I have had a IMate Jamin for about a week (after using a C500/SP3 for about the last 1.5 years, so i thought I would post my experiences here - I have not experienced any reboot problems or synchronization problems. It works fine. I use it to check my email through wi-fi at home and at work and i was able to set this up without any issues. (I don't use GPRS as Vodafone Australia has a crappy fee system for using GPRS) About the CPU and the speed. It's not that bad. The CPU is a reasonable speed (although as always, more is better). The worst start-up time so far is Tomtom. It takes about 10 seconds to open. (This seems very reasonable to me, you don't expect you PC programs to load instantaneously, so why should programs on your pocket pc do so? I know its solid state memory and all, but it does take time for software to get going.) Once loaded though, TomTom runs fine. Very snappy, route calculation times are quick and the screen and spoken instructions are very clear when driving around. A benchmark using the TCPMP player, with a avi clip at a close resolution to the Jamin screen (320 X 218), I was getting a frame rate of 36 (495 kbits/sec). Since the clip has a frame rate of 26, the CPU should have no trouble playing most clips. There is a utility for overclocking the CPU - I have not tried it but have read that people are overclocking the chip to 240MHz and it is very stable. So if you do need a little more grunt, try that solution. The 2 problems I have come across so far are not bugs as such, just design faults. The sound quality when answering a call is not great - it sounds a little echoy and distorted. This is the same through both the ear speaker and the hands free. It's useable, just not as clear as most phones - it's also a little quieter than I would like. The loud speaker (not the phone speaker) is on the back. This is used in hands free - or in my case, watching video clips on the phone. This causes the sound to project away from you when looking at the screen. The person sitting across from you can hear the sound better than you can. I have not tried a bluetooth headset on this phone yet, but I am hoping that a headset will bypass both of these problems. Overall it's a good device, but if you buy one, you have to realise you are buying a compromise. If you want it mobile phone, buy a phone. If you want a handheld computer, buy something a bit bigger. But overall I think this is a reasonable compromise with the current technology.

  • hi i have a SE w800i and i was thinking about replacing it with a new imate and im so confused about which one to go for ? 1)jamin 2)k-jam 3)jas-jar which one is the best ??

  • it has a very bad coating its fully plastic and a very bad color after 3 days the color start to move ! it sold be from silver ,its toomuch expesive and such a this cover ! unbeliveble !

  • I would prefer the n80.. it's much more like a phone, this has a touchscreen but they are very easy to brake(as i discovered with my last phone) and they cost a fortune to repair. The n80 also has 3g and a better camera[3mpx with 20x digital zoom], and a higher screen resolution.

  • Also the N80 is 3G (for what it is worth - EDGE is more important thou - imho)

  • That's exactly my predicament too :-( After lots of this and that and this and that I've decidet to go with the N80 :-)Size and weight were 2 big factors to consider in my case.

  • This phone is due to come out on vodafone i think. Ive seen it at CeBIT, but you cant touch it... :(

  • It reboots all the time. Swıtches off by itself on stand by! The battery lasts at most 12 hours. They say they have a distributor in Turkey on the official web site of the company! Unfortunately NO! Wrong information. The distributor in Turkey does not respond!

  • I would like to know how the i-mate jamin works with Skype? Is the wi fi strong enough to make phone calls?

  • imate and 02 are just distributors of phones. dopod/ HTC is the manufacturer. Therefore they are the same phone. exception is the imate jamin and 02 atom. Imate jamin is still made by dopod HTC, but 02 decided to go with quanta with the atom. Main difference between these 2 phones is the 400mhz cpu of the atom vs 200mhz dual core TI cpu of the jamin. Altho Jamin only 200mhz, but it is dual core and therefore is faster than atom on standardised bench mark tests.

  • since they are identical, what would be a better buy..an O2 or an i-mate? or does this depend on the specific model meaning some o2's are better than i-mates nd vise versa..?

  • is there some connection between O2's and i-mates? I am new to these brands and have heard many great things about them, but I am confused of how both brands have identical phones. What is the price of the i-mate JAMin and dollars?

  • Johny, just read your posting. I have a 'Jamin� phone that is constantly rebooting, i put it down to placing the unsupported tom tom navigator 5 software on it. I see you want to use the tom tom software, have you installed this on the PDA yet or was it rebooting anyway? Sometimes it seems stable but others it may reboot five times an hour. For my opinion on the phone; Connection to bluetooth (laptop and parrot hands free car kit) has been great. Activesyc is seamless via bluetooth, and pairing a dream - especially compared to P2K device before. Skype is not clear, seems to only work through loud speaker which in turn causes feedback, could be wrong on this as got fed up and not persevered to try and get it acting like a normal phone. Applications seem to be slow to open and device jams too frequent, especially after power off. Linking to smtp and imap Email accounts is so simple � it virtually does it for you once email address is entered as first stage. I want to keep this phone due to size, style and battery life. Also 2MP camera with close and far focus setting is dead hand when I am travelling for work.

  • thanks rehab.... peace yo

  • I found one serious problem with the phone, I donno if anyone can help me with it. The phone is ON, after few hours, suddenly I'm out of the network coverage, though I still see the network signal OK. I cant recieve calls or SMS, i need to restart the device. Did anyone face this issue before? I switched the devce with a new one & the problem persists.

  • Is this supposed to compete with the XDA Atom???? 200mhz Processor???

  • What about Handwriting recognition ?? supported ?

  • no it has not the additional speakers like K-jam, but it sports a 2mp camera

  • Had my JAMin for 3 days now and seriously considering sending it back... 1. It reboots at least 10 times a day - normally when returning from a power-off (press, not press-hold) but also when it gets low on memory (which happens all the time). 2. Bluetooth is very unstable, not only do I get dropouts from both my earpeices but it isn't even visible to my Nokia 616 car kit. 3. MSN is so unreliable to be unuseable. I can't rely on a message to be delivered, messages don't get received and people don't show up as being online when they are. 4. There is a bug where ActiveSync seems to start a process spinning that kills performance. Soft resetting the device after a sync cures this. 5. It is so slow that adding any other apps makes no sense. I really want to run TomTom on it as well. It it much slower than my old IPAQ 2210 which I currently use for TomTom 6. USB support is also buggy... Windows frequently complains the USB device is unrecognised... sometimes in the middle of a sync. Shame because I love the form factor and the promise of functionality... I suspect it needs a patch and am hopeing the promised AKU2 push from Microsoft to HTC will make its way into the JAMin soon.

  • hey guys... please tell me wether this phone has 2 speakers like the imate k-jam! i need to know its urgent... the person who gives me the real information will be rewarded

  • Does it vibrate when silent like a normal mobile?

  • hi guys, i've problem installing my active sync.. anyone hv tis problem as well? need lastest version of window xp?

  • U2ND, the Dopod 818 Pro does have built in message alert tones. But only when. Check under Settings, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications Tab. You should be able to change it there. By the way. The device is great. Had it for about the weeks now. Have configured to retrieve my GMail. Works well with GMail's POP access, don't have to use inbox stingy Hotmail anymore. However, don't try and run too many programmes at once. It's a PDA-phone damnit, not a full blown PDA like an Axim or and iPAQ. The battery life rocks anyway. Can't way for the next ROM update. It shold include AKU2.

  • just it's very very good

  • This phone uses MMC, i just wondering wheter i can use SD card? will it work? Coz it's cheaper

  • any dopod 818 owner can tell me whether is there any default sms tone? if so how am i going to change it? i cant seems to change my sms tone, appreciate if can help.. thanks.

  • Cost in Saudi Arabia $800. It seems too high. Can anyone advise prices elsewhere in the world? Worry about battery life, any one knows talk time and standby time hours?

  • Dudes! imate doesnt make any phones. its all made by dopod/HTC.

  • it is realy nice phone and actualy i-mate is the second phone factory with high quality after HP

  • First day it's " SLOW " it takes 5 senconds or more delay between pressing buttons

  • iwant aske for the couler and for the internet ist possapile useing without charges

  • It looks like Imate have overcome their previous problems in earlier fones when they manufactured this one...does any owner of this fone find any serious problems with it?other than sync...I'm still buffled by the 65K colors :@ i heard it's a windows mobile 5.0 limitation thingie...byt whyyyy?!?! Pitty :(

  • I couldnt hard reset my device as per instruction in the manual. Please advise. Besides that, everybody including me loves the device.

  • The device is great, but Im facing one big problem - for me at least - which is im unable to sync with my PC. Any suggestions?

  • Got this dopod818pro 10 days ago. Speed is as good as my old ipaq2210. there is a 2 scond lag on the initial start up of message application after turn-on, but is instantaneous thereafter. Battery life about 2.5 days with moderate usage phone/gprs/wifi. Call quality is great. Have not experienced any dropped calls. grouses:- 1. does not have build in chinese input and characters.3rd party software slows down the PDA. 2. characters in messages are not sizeable. It is tiny especially with the chinese characters from 3rd party software 3. One hand operation for sms is not easy. 4. The manual is not comprehensive for advanced usage. Overall it is a excellent piece of equipment. Highly recommended.

  • Jamin has a *Dual Core* processor and according to some comments it seems one core is dedicated to running the phone functions leading to a snappier performance. So comparing a 200Mhz OMP processor to a 400Mhz ARM solely on their Mhz rating is far from accurate.

  • Why why why? Such a slow processor, 200 mhz compared to Imate Jam 412 mhz, and no 3G capability... Think progress, I mate, progress.. such a teaser!

  • the phone is excellent and also I am using tomtom gps and works great well done i-mate.

  • sooooooooooooooo nice mobile buy it nowwwwwwwwwww chat with me to tell you all about it

  • Speed is less of an issue than I thought. It seems to be only the Message application that is slow. Battery life: Charged 2 days ago and after 1 hour of phone calls, 15 minutes of light WiFi use, a few photographs and a bit of PDA clicking: 50% left. That is quite satisfactory for me at least. 65k color screen is not an issue for me, I would need to be a professional to notice that it is not true color. Two soft resets needed so far which is tolerable. So all in all I would say Jamin is recommended as a PDA Phone.

  • This is this best PDA phone currently ont he market.

  • Got my copy yesterday: Speed is acceptable but be ready to wait around 2 seconds for some applications to start. (Messages application) WiFI works great. Call quality is good but not as loud as with "normal" phones. Battery life seems to be good. Phone functionality is good. Speed dialling works well. As a PDA it is of course brilliant. GPRS works well but connecting takes around 3 seconds. The design is sturdy and although 150g it is quite pocket-able. MMS works. Camera is good but the interface is not as good as on the Sony k750i. Conclusion: If you want a PDA Phone with a good battery life then this is your phone. If you first and foremost want a phone or a PDA to use as an entertainment device then look somewhere else.

  • human eye does not make difference between 65k and 256k colors.

  • guys and girls. This is going to be the highest selling PDA mobile for the first half of 2006 no doubt, The O2 atom is so slow and has a very high DOA rate it may be smaller but if your looking for performance this is the phone to get the texus Cpu is super quick even at 200mhz this will beat the intel 416mhz by a mile on clock speed. with windows mobile 5, wi fi, bluetooth 2 where can you go wrong, trust me guys the texas instrument is much faster than the old intel tests it for yourself and let me know what you think.

  • I wanna buy 1 of these models kjam, jasjar or jamin can ne1 suggest which 1nz better?? n y??

  • Please post your review about the phone quality of this phone for call quality and reception, especially dropped calls or either party not hearing one another.. Does one still have to reset the phone or reboot the system for GPRS as with all of their other PDA'S..?

  • This 200 mhx OMAP-TI processor is superior to the 416 intel processor used in the xda atom. Look around, there are benchmarks available. In terms of reliability, again much superior to the atom. In fact my nokia 5110 works better as a phone than the atom. This imate is made by HTC dopod (also the makers of the XDAs and mini- just rebadged as XDA, imate...etc.) so very reliable. This phone has been out in singapore for sometime now with very good reviews.

  • It's not bad but always Imate has alots of problems and all the spacifications are in other good mobile so why Imate ?! think something good like Sony Ericsson P990 it will be the best mobile in 2006 i'm sure. I mate still 65K color screen !! and no 3G hey Imate wake up it's 2006 !!

  • does anyone know if the JAMin has mp3 ringtones?

  • Nice and Smart Lookin...But Lacks FM Radio

  • make it a 3g phone, with fm tuner and analog tv tuner to receive both pal and ntsc signals like gigabyte g-smart. does anybody knows if gigabyte released the gigabyte g-smart in english version ?please reply to [email protected]

  • you cant see difference between 65k and 256k colors.. there are other factors that define how good the screen is instead

  • Well, the thing is that WM5.0 has been optimized as such as it can run very well on a 200MHz with 47MB RAM configuration. As for the display. Even if it would support 262k colors, it would still show only 65k because of the WindowsMobile rendering engine which is limited to 16bit color [65k colors].

  • it's a new type of processor. think about dual core concept in intel processor. The phone and pda function will work seperately...anyway this processor is likely to be a new standard processor in the future

  • It Looks Pretty nice.... But why it has 65K Screen and not 256MB???? another thing....200MHz Proccessor is pretty weak....compared with Jam, K-Jam, & Black and this PDA must have FM Radio...why not... we expect from I Mate to add these options atthe future and then it must give thier mobile the name "I Mate GOD"

  • I hope they fixed the poor call quality with less dropped calls and better reception along with a better speaker so one can hear the other party on the other end.

  • I do not understand why 200 MHz processor and not 416MHz the same as the "Jam-Black!!! They added a few nice features (Lan, Wifi, 2MP Camera, MS-W5, etc) but sacrificed performance? Why??? Also mot much difference from K-Jam. I wonder why they bothered with this model.

  • Nice.. but.. COME ON!! Its 2006! Do you mind putting a 256k color screen in? I Don't know why.. But phones today should have at least a 256k color screen if not more...

  • sweet
