No one has mentioned the camera's macro ability. I want to take pictures of documents. Any comments? Most cameras are useless in this area

JAMin versus K-JAM

I have been searching online for 2 weeks for info to decide between JAMin or K-JAM, and I didn't find a true and clear comparison.

JAMin: Has 2MP CMOS camera (BIIIG DIFFERENCE)
K-JAM: 1.3MP normal camera (fair but not comparable to Jamin)

JAMin: BlueTooth v2
K-JAM: BlueTooth v1.2 (not a problem)

JAMin: SD for extra memory
K-JAM: mini-SD (even though mini-SD is newer, SD reads mini-SD whereas the newest doesnt read SD, weird)

JAMin: no Keypad
K-JAM: very sexy very comfortable very durable Keypad


So basically every geek (not pejorative) on the net will tell you if you want the camera go for the JAMin and if you want the Keypad go for the K-JAM. WELL NO $H!T EINSTEINS! (I REALLY WANTED THE CAM and I REALY WANTED THE KEYPAD) It's a tuff call and that's why we're here. I never post opinions, i usually only look for them. But since so many people had the same question as me with no answers, here's the deal.

I checked both pieces in a showroom here in Dubai. I just BOUGHT the JAMIN! The reason is simple: They digital keypad on screen is an alternative, but slower than the keypad. ALSO, a big factor in my decision is the Decuma Alphabetic handwriting recognition built-in both devices. U can simply write IN YOUR OWN handwriting and its changes to electronic text automatically. Im not talkin like the old palm where u have to write letter after letter, u just write as u would on a real paper, using the full screen writing wherever u want. I tried it, and it was so precise - 95% - i have a nice handwriting)

So finally, this amazing built-in recognizer made me choose for the JAMin and basically the amazing 2MP camera (check out the net for crazy pics it can take).

Also JAMin is newer but this doesnt always mean better, but in case it does ;)

Ok enough, Im gonna go play with my new Mega-kingkong-in-ur-palm-Toy!

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

First of all, wh
