i-mate JAMin Mobile Phone Review

i-mate JAMin Details

<unknown> 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.

Douglas P Hey guys i would like to know what is the battery life of this thing. cause its not mentioned over here. secondly i wanna know the reliability of it. Had just bought a JAM but had some problem regarding charging of the battery and No recognition of the main batt n no display of batt status. so am planning to upgrade for a Jamin: PLEASE ADVICE thanx cheers to all.

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 ;-)

Jaco 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)

<unknown> does it have radio or not?

E-South Africa 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....

ahmed gtreat phone, but there are some promlems,the first one is,the speaker voice is too low,and for that i had to change the speaker,second thing we cant copy phone contact to sim,and the last thing is the processor,it should be 400mhz
