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

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 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.
