You can`t help but sense some Stealth Fighter ancestry in the design of the i-mate JAMin, a pocket PC/phone built from the ground up to meet the complex needs of busy individuals.
The JAMin makes light work of doing business on the run, and lets you have a little fun along the way. It`s a worthy successor to the award-winning JAM, with significant improvements including EDGE, WiFi and the latest Windows Mobile tools.
Its stylish, sleek, even minimalist, non-slip black exterior surrounding a compact design says it means business, but it`s not all work and no play. This i-mate is simply the best all-rounder in its class, and that`s saying something because this is a classy phone. The touch-sensitive screen is classic i-mate, bright and sharp with white LED backlight at 240x320 resolution to do justice to the multimedia capabilities and productivity applications packed into this device.
The operating system is Windows Mobile 5.0, ready for business-on-the-go with Microsoft`s Pocket Outlook, Windows Media Player, MSN Messenger, Internet Explorer, ActiveSync, calculator, voice notes, and photo caller ID. Office documents go with you, with Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, PowerPoint Mobile and ClearVue PDF viewer. Hands-free operation is eased by the smart dialler, voice command and voice dial features. The phone is quad-band for global travellers, and supports EDGE for high-speed data connections at up to 200kbps or more.
Quinton Leigh, Managing Director of Leaf Wireless, exclusive distributor of the i-mate products for South Africa, said: "The i-mate JAMin is the latest version of our popular i-mate JAM model. We have taken into consideration the requirements of our clientele which includes the global traveller who is constantly looking for mobile devices to deliver on speedy connectivity and one-handed use. The new i-mate JAMin delivers on all these fronts, proving to be a true world mobile device."
For the lesser business-like moments, there is a 2-Megapixel camera with macro mode, enhanced by camera capture and video recorder facilities, and full MMS video support. Audiophiles will love the stereo sound: the JAMin plays all major audio formats including MP3, WMA and AAC.
Connecting to the rest of your electronic world is a breeze, with Bluetooth, WiFi, infrared and a mini-USB connector. Not only can you fetch mail and browse the Net on your JAMin, you can use it as a fast GSM modem for your PC or laptop.
Standard memory is 64MB RAM, but an SDIO card memory expansion slot means you can store plenty of applications, music, sound and video clips.
You control the JAMin with a stylus or the five-way navigation pad, with quick-link buttons for hands-free, voice record, voice control, camera capture, the usual answer/end buttons, and two application-defined soft keys. It all comes packaged in a handy-sized 108x58x18.2mm weighing 150g with battery.
