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.

Why why why? Such a slow processor, 200 mhz compared to Imate Jam 412 mhz, and no 3G capability... Think progress, I mate, progress.. such a teaser!

Speed is less of an issue than I thought. It seems to be only the Message application that is slow.

Battery life: Charged 2 days ago and after 1 hour of phone calls, 15 minutes of light WiFi use, a few photographs and a bit of PDA clicking: 50% left.

That is quite satisfactory for me at least. 65k color screen is not an issue for me, I would need to be a professional to notice that it is not true color.

Two soft resets needed so far which is tolerable.

So all in all I would say Jamin is recommended as a PDA Phone.

Got my copy yesterday:

Speed is acceptable but be ready to wait around 2 seconds for some applications to start. (Messages application)

WiFI works great.

Call quality is good but not as loud as with "normal" phones.

Battery life seems to be good.

Phone functionality is good. Speed dialling works well.

As a PDA it is of course brilliant.

GPRS works well but connecting takes around 3 seconds.

The design is sturdy and although 150g it is quite pocket-able.

MMS works. Camera is good but the interface is not as good as on the Sony k750i.

Conclusion: If you want a PDA Phone with a good battery life then this is your phone.

If you first and foremost want a phone or a PDA to use as an entertainment device then look somewhere else.

guys and girls.
This is going to be the highest selling PDA mobile for the first half of 2006 no doubt, The O2 atom is so slow and has a very high DOA rate it may be smaller but if your looking for performance this is the phone to get the texus Cpu is super quick even at 200mhz this will beat the intel 416mhz by a mile on clock speed.
with windows mobile 5, wi fi, bluetooth 2 where can you go wrong, trust me guys the texas instrument is much faster than the old intel tests it for yourself and let me know what you think.

Please post your review about the phone quality of this phone for call quality and reception, especially dropped calls or either party not hearing one another.. Does one still have to reset the phone or reboot the system for GPRS as with all of their other PDA'S..?

This 200 mhx OMAP-TI processor is superior to the 416 intel processor used in the xda atom. Look around, there are benchmarks available.

In terms of reliability, again much superior to the atom. In fact my nokia 5110 works better as a phone than the atom. This imate is made by HTC dopod (also the makers of the XDAs and mini- just rebadged as XDA, imate...etc.) so very reliable.

This phone has been out in singapore for sometime now with very good reviews.

It's not bad but always Imate has alots of problems and all the spacifications are in other good mobile so why Imate ?! think something good like Sony Ericsson P990 it will be the best mobile in 2006 i'm sure.

you cant see difference between 65k and 256k colors.. there are other factors that define how good the screen is instead

Well, the thing is that WM5.0 has been optimized as such as it can run very well on a 200MHz with 47MB RAM configuration. As for the display. Even if it would support 262k colors, it would still show only 65k because of the WindowsMobile rendering engine which is limited to 16bit color [65k colors].

it's a new type of processor. think about dual core concept in intel processor. The phone and pda function will work seperately...anyway this processor is likely to be a new standard processor in the future

It Looks Pretty nice....
But why it has 65K Screen and not 256MB????
another thing....200MHz Proccessor is pretty weak....compared with Jam, K-Jam, & Black

and this PDA must have FM Radio...why not...

we expect from I Mate to add these options atthe future and then it must give thier mobile the name "I Mate GOD"
