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 !!!

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 saadukg@hotmail.com if u want to ask more questions.

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.

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.

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.
