  • I got this phone like 3 months ago. LIke about 3 months after i got it, I took the sim card out of it and then put it back, when i put it back it said invalid sim card (Emergency Call only). so make sure it wasn't my sim card, I tried it on another phone and it worked, so i knew it was the i-mate jaq 3. I really am dissapointed because i spend a lot of money on it. I know i will never buy another one and never recomend a phone company that sells phones over $400 that dont even last 4 months. DONT BUY THIS PHONE

  • For those who really are not familiar with Technology They Will Face the problems they're talking about except fot the Sound Quality is really poor. U can't install in Dozen of software. U have to often end task the unclosed programs &access the Battery saving settings in that way the battery will last more than one day.

  • stylish phone , not stable software , bad hearing quality , very slow but still better than the k jam .

  • It is too big. And its GSM communiaction is bad. Others' type have excellent communication quality. But the quality of this type is not acceptable.

  • This is the worst phone i have ever had, too f... slow. could take up to 7 sec. to access contacts or any command.

  • I am using this fone and believe me its the worst phone of my life the battery doesn't even last half a day theres restarting problem a real bad product from imate and a pure money waste

  • Had the same problem with the buzzing on the pther side. Sent the phone into I-Mate Service 3 weeks ago and they still have it.

  • Anyone have a problem with buzzing when speaking on the phone?I dont hear it but the people I am speaking to hear it and can barely hear me.Tried everything to try and fix it but cant fix it.Any ideas?

  • I have been used for 4 days,no problem and its fast enought,good batterylife,Handwriting,recognition - QWERTY keyboard,and its only one have all.you can buy it at Entrepotcellulaire (peel)514-985-3288

  • u have to push a little the power button to convert it to the active mode from standby mode.u can also set the power saving option by clicking on battery.

  • i got this phone 2 days ago and its first charging took from me 2hrs the day after it the phone began 2 close by itself when i leave it 4 a certain period of time.plz any body tell me what 2 do i am really sick abou that.

  • i got this phone from 2 days and its charging 4 the first time took only 2hrs the day after it began 2 close by its self when i leave it 4 a period of time .plz any body tell me what 2 do i am really sick about that.

  • i got this phone 2 days ago and its charging took only 2 hrs.after that the day after it began to close alone when i leave it 4 a period of time.plz any body tell me what 2 do.i am really sick about it.

  • you should also try the technical support. with all its problems they are not helpful and they dont respond to you and if they do they dont do anyting to solve the problem. Not to mention that they are so unprofessional in handling complaints. I am really going to blog this and make this really bad for imate. they wasted my time and money.. a lot of it!!

  • I know the travel charger for I-mate Jam is a mini USB connector. Is the travel charger for JAQ3 also mini USB connector and compatible with I-mate Jam? Teresa

  • I bought it and sold it after two days at a loss of Rs. 8000. I am back to my N73. cons: Very slow processor browser very slow Dial up networking profile not supported in bluetooth When one receive a call other end hear your voice after 3 seconds initially then it catches up camera captures blurry images due to slow processor speed. Numeric keypad is not distinguishable until back light is turned on. No urdu and arabic language support You can not use it as a wireless modem with mac even with cable. I recommend n73. Typed this review in n73 browser.

  • I had high hopes for this product. I purchased it in Dubai (I-Mate�s HQ?). It is true what they say about the processor speed. It is unacceptably slow. I have also had a problem with the stylus. The power button is adjacent to the insertion slot for the stylus. For some reason every time I slide in the stylus the device wants to shut down. I think that the stylus hits the backside of the power button and triggers a shutdown. These very significant problems aside, the form factor is ideal. Touch screen with a full Qwerty keyboard and WM5.0 is the way to go. I had to go back to my HTC TyTN which has a slide out keyboard that makes the device heavy and too thick.

  • i bought the phone and its so slow, it takes about 10 seconds to open inbox, also to open and move between menus. I have to say it is disappointing to see imate produce a phone that is good in design and function but lousy in speed. i had the jam and its much faster than the JAQ3. not to mention that sometimes the phone module switches off on its own and the LED blinking light goes off and takes two seconds to actually connect and hang up a call and also when u get call waiting, u can hear but cant see who for a couple of seconds.. i am really disappointed.

  • Hi I would like to buy this phone, but totally worried to read the comments of this phone. do you really suggest to buy ??????

  • the phone feature overall is nice except for one thing, SPEED!!! It's too slow. It has the same processor as my sp5m. I also have an Imate jam and believe me, of all the phone I stil stick with my Jam. I gave my jaq3 to my GF. I'm not happy with it. My advice is that, if you look for a phone that runs applications and games fast then go for a pocket pc with and intel xscale processor like o2 atom exec or o2 flame.

  • i got this phone and the next day the phone module was not working(cant make calls). a restart fixed it, but the next day the camera gave the same problem. maybe i have to get handyswitcher to free up the memory? im not sure because this is my first wm5 phone. other than that it's a good quad band phone overall.

  • I bought this phone and sold it 10 days after. Its slow and has so many bugs and problems. I am really disapointed and had such high expectations... I am an i-mate user however if i can give you an advise: Do not make the same mistake... Do not buy it.

  • Just some kwoledge: The TI OMAP 850 200 Mhz processor is equivalent to a 416 Mhz processor, the reason why it doens't run games well is because it doesnt have a GPU build in, but it provides better power saving when running Bluetooth or WIFI.

  • I have this phone for about 2 weeks and my only regret is its slow processor (200mhz). I just don�t understand why they�d give such a phone all the perks and lack on the processor? Anyway, if you don�t intend to spend all yr battery power on games (slow processor cannot handle cool games), then I definitely recommend this phone. Its size is no issue, I slide in my jean or suit pocket and I forget about it. Just make sure you download a soft ware that allows you to switch off open programs from the main screen (ie. Handyswitcher) and those 200mhz will do the job.

  • No, not a copy of the sams i320... the JAQ3 runs PocketPC (not SmartPhone)... has a touchscreen, is quad-band and has several other differences... although, you are right that it LOOKS similar.

  • can't wait to get useful user reviews from actual usage. so for those who have this phone, let us hear it!!!

  • where can i buy this phone? i really want it...it has everything, the scroll wheel, touch screen, wifi, bluetooth, qwerty, quadband...where can i buy it? thanks

  • Can anyone please confirm whether or not the JAQ3 does support 850 Mhz Network (Cingular/AT&T)? (The "identical" UBiQUiO 501 does not.) Has anyone seen "850Mhz" on the actual device, box etc.? Thanks!

  • it is copy of sams i320

  • why 200mhz processor s***

  • what about UMTS or HSDPA support?

  • shame on imate to have such products in its list

  • I'm also first to post here. Yeeeehaaaaaa!!!

  • If it really runs windows mobile for pocketPC i'm willing to deal with the sluggish processor....
