Well I own also a Jasjar and I almost agree with your comments except maybe the fact that I don't use it as a phone but more like a small laptop replacement when I travel or I am in a conference and I want to browse on the web. Speed can be improved by upgrading to one of the "cooked" WM5 or WM6 Roms which give better performance than the standard carrier released ROMs. I'd feel lost without mine, but it's not a great phone at all. Lots of promise, little in the way of delivery and implementation.Ĭan't argue there really. Only to a small percentage of people based on their requirements of course, but for general usage, nope.įunctionally impressive, some great features. Core functions, like making and receiving calls are an afterthought. Direct and simple for the functions its intended for (in general). Windows Mobile phones try and shrink a desktop onto a phone. Those phones are designed to be phones and used like them. Look at Nokia and Sony Ericsson (and perhaps iPhone).

This is mostly because of Windows Mobile. These buttons feel unresponsive, sometimes they are either slow to activate (meaning you press the answer button multiple times, causing all weirdness with the call), sometimes you just don't hangup, meaning you better be careful what you say after you hang up, else you could get into some trouble. It has 2 buttons on the side which answer or hangup calls. I answer calls with the flip closed generally. You might be able to get away with some stuff, but not much, and not without hand gymnastics. Its big and lugging it around requires big pockets. I press the numbers 121, and 4 seconds later, the display reads 112 or something stupid, getting the numbers out of order, and taking ages to display. A lot of the time, I want to dial my voicemail which is 121. Its got a 500Mhz proc, and feels slower than all phones I have used to date. My $1500+ all singing and dancing unit simply could not pull it off. We *relied* on that far cheaper phone to make calls in a relatively remote location. Its a $200 Sony-Ericsson toy in comparison, but at least it worked and we relied on that while down there. Vodafone is the carrier, which can be attributed to some of it, however my wife's phone is also with Vodafone and it worked fine. Now some might say, yes but what carrier were you with. When I was down the snow, people were happily using their mobile phones to make and receive calls. It "can" act as a phone, but its really bad, bordering on the extremely frustrating to use to the extent I want to throw it. If you want a phone, don't buy this unit. You can flip the screen in landscape or portrait mode easily. However, I thought I would use it a lot, but its actually a lot less than anticipated. It lights up automatically in dark environments. The keyboard is good because its bigger than most.

Bluetooth works well, expandability is great, camera works well, swivel screen is good. Its not going to be too long, don't worry.ģG is one of my favorites.

Normally you read reviews of the phone based on its paper specifications and after only a short time of using it. I took my phone along and given that I had some issues with it, thought I would give my feelings on the phone after an approximate year of usage. I recently returned from a snow holiday in the lovely snowy mountains here in New South Wales, Australia. I own an iMate Jasjar phone and have done for about 1 year.
