Wogboy. Glad you feel that way! Since my last post, my phone has frozen for no reason and I have had to reboot it! I hope you still like your phone in a year's time! This seems to be when the hardware problems start, although I have heard that some phones have no issues at all, so maybe you are lucky! Here's to hoping!

Hi there. Well my brother and my best friend both bought JasJams awhile ago, and have had quite different experiences. I bought one yesterday to replace my PDA2K.
I have found the phone to be terrible. It's just little things that are going wrong, like:
-- Problems with the keyboard keys sticking
-- Connecting to a PC (sometimes it can't be reognised by the PC)
-- Not being able to delete contacts
-- Phone suddenly goes dark, and will not turn on
All these problems were solved by a softreboot, so after having had the phone for a day and setting it up, I had had to softreboot the phone at least 15 times!
My friend says that his phone performs ok, however to keep it that way he soft-reboots it every morning. He tried contacting Imate and got the latest updates from them (ones that are not even available on the website yet, as he's in the industry) and he said this did not help his problems at all.
My brother has had his Jas Jam longer, and is now having problems with the sound and other hardware devices. (his phone sometimes no longer rings or vibrates). These and other hardware issues seem to occur just outside the warrantee (1 year) period.
Talking to the major supplier of JasJams here in New Zealand, I found out that all of them (except the one I bought) have been recalled by Imate in November 2007. There are various speculations as to why, but I believe it to be a combination of their poor reliability over time, and the anticipated launch of their new Ultimate (which is still not available here in New Zealand yet, but this could be because it requires maps that might be not available yet).
One other thing I noticed, the Jas Jam was surprisingly slower to navigate and use than my old PDA2K! My friend also noticed the same thing.
Hope this helps people.
Jolyon

I reckon my JasJam is the best phone I have never bought. Never has given me a problem.

I used to have a lot of problems such as lockups, slowness, programs not running after install on my I-mate JasJam.
But a couple of months ago I upgraded it to Windows Mobile 6 and all of the past problems I had disapeared straight away.
Even Skype works now which I couldn't get going on Windows Mobile 5, bluetooth doesn't zap the battery power and is stable.
In conclusion a lot of my problems came from Windows mobile 5 and its a great phone on WM6 !!

Dear doggz and to all Imate users having the same problem
you're absolutly wrong ,...
let me tell you what to do first of all usualy when you use a normal Personnel Computer you every 1 week or 2 you delete your cookies and the histories and the temporary files,..correct??? its the same with I-mate coz its a windows like the PC exactly so here out what to do and trust me you'll be fine
1- install Mobile anti virus "kaspersky is fine "
2- scan your device "what every you find the antivirus will guaranteed it.
3- its STRONGLY RECOMMENDED after every use of your Imate go to "start-setting-systtem-Memory-Running Programs- than click stop all".
trust me it will become a usual to you you just do this every time you use your device or let say 4 times a day every 6 hours and mention me in your praying.
regards

I came here before i bought the phone and left thinking it would be O.K, but the full on truth is that it is the worsed phone on the planet. My Advice is No1. If you do buy one, DONT buy it off of ebay, it is much easier to send it away for repair if it is on a plan and No2. Dont buy it at all just go for apples iphone its a much more reliable name and the reviews are better than this one.
Over all you would be waisting you money on the phone, mine has been sent away to the repairer about 4 times and still dosnt work properly.
Imate= Over priced and under weight Door Stop

i got a imat jasjam about 1 and a half years ago. It is an awesome phone - when it works but the truth is that out of the whole15 months that i have had it i rekon it worked properly for about 2 months of that. I sent it in for repair, they said they fixed it - 3 weeks later the same thing. it kept freezing, shutting down, not hanging up calls. touch zcreen out of calibration all the time, So i would recommend this type of phone but not this one. The person at the mobile shop said that she has had heaps of them coming back for this problem. So guys i would have to say it is the most user friendly phone/pda that i have ever used but the most unreliable that i have ever used. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!

To get back to factory setting:
While holding left and right soft buttons together, press the soft reset hole (just above the battery compartment unlock slide switch) with your stylus. Follow the two instructions on the screen (Pressing R and pressing space bar). Make sure you have done all the backup before doing this.
You can first try “Clear Storage” in Settings->System page. This probably has to same effect as the above.

In mobile phone competition, it hard finding the best but reliable one. In a gadget debate, QWERTY keypad, processor, Windows Mobile 6.0, WIFI & touch screen is the next in line to laptops. Don't mind if a unit is old, SEE it's awesome features. N95 & K850i had no MS Excel & Word - programs that you always use only in your home & office computers. You can't install SOFTWARES in it, that's why it is called celphone not POCKET PC. Be a pro in a kid's play.

Someone asked that he can not find it because its old!!! You want to buy mine? I just baught it last Novemebr and it is the WORST machine I have ever used in my life. It gets stuck a lot, the keyboard is tricky to use, no updates with my agent here, they claim if you get Mobile Windows 6 on it then your warranty is void BUT they will not take it back since it sucks!
It is the worst 700$ I have ever spent....
