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.

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.

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?

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

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.
