    4.0 out of 5 stars Uniquely useful device, 27 Sep 2006
    By 
    This review is from: i-mate JASJAR GSM/GPRS Pocket PC/Mobile Phone (Electronics)
    All things considered I think that this is a very clever and generally well designed box of tricks

    I have always used a keyboard clamshell based PDA right back to the introduction of the Psion series 3a, I stuck with Psion untill their demise, and then bought a Hewlett Packard Jornada 720, I have a genuine use for these devices and they are not just a toy. The embedded software on the Jornada was no longer supported and it is very big, so I bought one of these on a contract, and all in all, I am impressed.

    As a phone it is a little alkward to use, but my main use of it is for data/e-mail/web, and as a PDA, and as a phone...its ok, but not as convenient as a little pat as you go

    I cant agree that it is slow, I think that in the main, web browsing is very impressive, and the E-mail side of it is about as good as you can reasonably expect get given its size, I would give it 5 stars for E-Mail...the keyboard works very very well, and is in many ways a bit better than the larger k/b on the Jornada old 720/680 series, but still not as good as a psion series 5

    The rotating screen worries me, as it is vulnerable when not completely rotated...be careful!!, but as a concept it is neat, and the image auto-rotates to fit when you flip it

    I use a leather case zip which allows me to use it in situ without removing it...not the slip case supplied, as I would worry about dropping it

    The Sim Free price is expensive, and you will cry if you break it, so get some accidental damage cover (houshold insurance ?)...oh and one more thing, as an MP3 player it is very very good because it accepts a standard size headphone jack (3.5mm I think)...not one of those tiny ones like on an XDA11 etc

    I dont recommend gizmos for the sake of it, but if you can afford it, it is hard to think of anything else as useful as this, you can use it for Sat Nav as well with a kit...but just buy a Tom-Tom

    I recommend this gizmo (almost without reservation)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent but take care with buying PDAs online, 14 Feb 2008
    This review is from: i-mate JASJAR GSM/GPRS Pocket PC/Mobile Phone (Electronics)
    5 stars is for the product only. It was all I ever wanted:
    * It was easy to use
    * sychonisation with outlook was quick and simple
    * a comprehensive user guide that was well-written so I could use all the features
    * I could type in realtime and send it straight out in outlook for distribution.

    Then it broke. No reason. I took it out my bag and the screen had gone. I had had it all of two weeks. I was devestated.

    Suddenly all the failings of buying on-line come to the fore. The supplier pda-mobiles is running the business from cyber-space. No telephone numbner, no address, no response. Replies to email are slow, polite but with nil knowledge of consumer law or Amazon 'guarentee. WTen He claims it is not a manufacturing error but a 'human' error. How would human error stop the machine working? Pressing the wrong buttons too often? And how has he come to this convenient conclusion without seeing the machine? Then you find yourself wondering...well..it DID have a fault. Did the supplier get it from a legitimate source? You just do not know.

    And Amazon. Well, bless them! Their procedures are adequate enough for CDs, books and so on - things that are not time sensitive or very expensive. Where it does not matter too much. The average of seven to ten days to investigate however is all too slow for a working tool that is so fab you became reliant on it the moment you unpacked the box. It's too dear to pop out and get a duplicate. Yet you cannot survive without it.

    Things do go wrong with equipment. I accept that. If I had bought it from an O2 shop I could have received a replacement within hours of it going wrong with no questions.

    So my advice would be:
    1. Don't buy very expensive items from a third party on Amazon unless you know the company well
    2. If you do, don't buy PDA/computers in particular. They break too often and you need more after sales suppoprt than can be provided
    3. And if you choose to ignore my advice, pay by credit card.

    4.0 out of 5 stars a very good toy, 3 Jan 2006
    By 
    Dr. Andrew M. J. Cavey (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: i-mate JASJAR GSM/GPRS Pocket PC/Mobile Phone (Electronics)
    I purchased this item through a telephone network provider, at a subsidised cost and it has been working beautifully. It is also a gem to look at.
    My principal complaint is of its functionality as a telephone - an obvious problem, but one that I had not considered before my purchase.
    If the JASJAR is carefully placed in its case in your pocket and the phone rings, you can plan on at least 15 seconds before you have it in hand and ready to answer. More if you want to unfold it to find out who is calling you. I have missed many calls because of this already, and its quite infuriating.

    I would still recommend it to anyone who needs an all-in-one, easily portable device. Truly one of its kind.

    I only have one battery for it, but it does tire quickly when the phone and mp3 players are used. a second battery may be a good idea.
