its been a long time ive decided to buy a pda and the jasjar was my choice. as i read more and more reviews it seems that jasjar is an extremely good tool for someone who is related with IT, where he can connect to different servers etc. for me, a single user of a pda will it be ok? or will i get lost in the many features it has?
btw can the phone get charged through a usb cable? like ipods? beacause the short duration of the battery is a a bit frightening

Anyone who ever gave a rave review... shame on you. Actuall it was really nice (except for anoying popup messages from windows 5.0)(except you cannot use it and drive). In the two days I owned it, it did lock up three times. I had to remove the battery to reboot. Never figured out GPRS settings. Lots of good things though. I didn't mind the size or weight after a day. I liked the new outlook. Many good things but overall... I had to return it.

If you have snychronization problems it is from the new Windows 5. You need to turn off any Anti-Virus programs that you may have running or spyware programs. Make sure they are off and exited from them then plug in to try and sunchronize. That should solve the problem. Also this scree is a VGA screen for the person who asked about Video Clip quality. It should be VGA Quality which is one of the best for the PDA's on the market today. Dell uses it on their AXIM, HP on the IPAQ 4700 and Imate on this model. Acer just released a new 300 Model that uses this VGA screen as well but the proessing power is a bit weak. They should have out in a faster processor. I am getting the new Dell and will stick to using my phone for phone calls which is much better any ways for call clarity and fewer dropped calls.

Hi There,
I own a JASJAR, since September 2005 and bought it for my on the road IT services and I have to say it's a great device.
I use the JASJAR, to access different kind of servers, e.g. Citrix, Terminal Services, SSH Linux, AS400, VNC, Telnet, Network Browser to mount shares locally on the JASJAR and printing to network printer on the network.
All these services works great when I'm connected at work to the corporate wi-fi network, but I have a challenge with the VPN connection on the JASJAR on a public wi-fi hotspot.
For instance every time I tried to connect to the Citrix server at work using the VPN connection it drops the connection immediately and start connecting through GPRS.
I don't know why, I tried many different options, but couldn't solve it. Any help would be great.

This jasjar is great! Have had it for 3 months and don't need to take a notebook with me anymore! I work in IT support and with Term services, vpn's, citrix client, etc plus Vodafones 3g , it's as if I'm at the customers site. It's never let me down - sync, etc is fine. Wireless is great. Took me a bit of time to work out best settings, etc and how it works to get most from it. - Downloaded Netfront browser, and Operas new browser. I can easily have multiple browser windows open on this, plus other stuff just like a PC. While travelling and flying, doing my invoicing, watch DVD's I've copied to sd card, etc. And keyboard is excellent. With bluetooth headset/LCD can make and get calls without toucjhing teh jasjar. All in all- can't ask for much more than that. My IBM thinlpad now stays on the kitchen table at home...

I see a lot of people are discontent with their jasjars. First of all let me tell you that this phone WAS NOT designed for people who just want to make a call to there friend and talk for a couple of hours.
I have owned this phone for almost 5 months now and I recently switched to the Motorola A780. For a smartphone the jasjar does its thing. The best features being WIFI. I have routed my IMAP AOL mail and pop3 yahoo to this phone. It works like a charm.
The battery life isn't the greatest. But thats the sacrafice you make to have a phone that does so much. I have this on a cingular plan. I did one of those 9.99 add a lines and added unlimited data.
It's a great second phone but not a primary. The reason why I switched to the a780 was because I realized I didn't use all the features of the phone. My needs were just a phone that does imap, pop3 and a basic pda functions. I never really used the wifi cause I would rather use my laptop.

Hello ppl, I am professor of electronix at Carleton Unicersity in Ottawa. I was gifted this phone by microsoft a month ago. So far I did not have anoy problem with it except the battery consumption. Mine does not last more then 8 hours and it takes about 2-3 hours to recharge. So far, its an awesome technology :)
