I would prefer the n80..
it's much more like a phone, this has a touchscreen but they are very easy to brake(as i discovered with my last phone) and they cost a fortune to repair.
The n80 also has 3g and a better camera[3mpx with 20x digital zoom], and a higher screen resolution.

Also the N80 is 3G (for what it is worth - EDGE is more important thou - imho)

That's exactly my predicament too :-( After lots of this and that and this and that I've decidet to go with the N80 :-)Size and weight were 2 big factors to consider in my case.

It reboots all the time. Swıtches off by itself on stand by! The battery lasts at most 12 hours. They say they have a distributor in Turkey on the official web site of the company! Unfortunately NO! Wrong information. The distributor in Turkey does not respond!

I would like to know how the i-mate jamin works with Skype? Is the wi fi strong enough to make phone calls?

imate and 02 are just distributors of phones. dopod/ HTC is the manufacturer. Therefore they are the same phone. exception is the imate jamin and 02 atom. Imate jamin is still made by dopod HTC, but 02 decided to go with quanta with the atom.
Main difference between these 2 phones is the 400mhz cpu of the atom vs 200mhz dual core TI cpu of the jamin. Altho Jamin only 200mhz, but it is dual core and therefore is faster than atom on standardised bench mark tests.

since they are identical, what would be a better buy..an O2 or an i-mate? or does this depend on the specific model meaning some o2's are better than i-mates nd vise versa..?

is there some connection between O2's and i-mates? I am new to these brands and have heard many great things about them, but I am confused of how both brands have identical phones. What is the price of the i-mate JAMin and dollars?

Johny, just read your posting.
I have a 'Jamin’ phone that is constantly rebooting, i put it down to placing the unsupported tom tom navigator 5 software on it. I see you want to use the tom tom software, have you installed this on the PDA yet or was it rebooting anyway?
Sometimes it seems stable but others it may reboot five times an hour.
For my opinion on the phone;
Connection to bluetooth (laptop and parrot hands free car kit) has been great. Activesyc is seamless via bluetooth, and pairing a dream - especially compared to P2K device before.
Skype is not clear, seems to only work through loud speaker which in turn causes feedback, could be wrong on this as got fed up and not persevered to try and get it acting like a normal phone.
Applications seem to be slow to open and device jams too frequent, especially after power off.
Linking to smtp and imap Email accounts is so simple – it virtually does it for you once email address is entered as first stage.
I want to keep this phone due to size, style and battery life. Also 2MP camera with close and far focus setting is dead hand when I am travelling for work.

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.

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.
