The i-mate JAMin...... aka S200....... Plus Orange M..../Voda ?/MDA small thing with wifi/XDA what ever, is now out and about in the UK in limited supplies atm. So anyone got there hands on this beast yet? For people who don’t know what it is, click . In short its the updated version of the i-mate jam/xda mini, mda compact that was much love on here around a year ago. Now has WM 05 and wifi to add to the great features from the JAM. Is available now from here CHEAP! For around £80 on a £30 p/m contract, not to bad is it?

So what are people thinking ok it? Was going to wait for the XDA atom but might get this now, what are you views on the ATOM compared with the JAMin.

Also anyone know if the i-mates JAMin/S200 from here are UK phones with UK chargers and books?

If anyone has it now and want to right a few words that would be great, and even better if you added some pictures with it.

Quite a few threads discussing this phone at the moment.
The main things that are holding me back are the 200mhz processor (I don't know if this is as zippy as the original Jam) and the new Mitac phone with built in GPS, WiFi etc.
Plus if I am to get another of these type of phones I think I would really like co-pilot 6 with it.

Hmmm apparently the A701 doesn't have WiFi but the A700 has WiFi and GPS but is a bit ugly.
Gah decisions, decisions.

That is one ulgy phone, may just go for the JAMin when would you use GPS apart from it the car, so just leave it in there I guess.

When i got my JAM (the first one) from phones2udirect it was a UK model.

Try the Eten M600 - very similar to the JAMin but has a 400Mhz (Samsung) cpu

Or the Eten G500 - GPS, but no wi-fi

AFAIK the JAMin doesn't have the 200MHz Samsung(?) CPU, but the same one as the original JAM??

Tomsk · 28 Feb 2006 at 12:38

Jam has a 416MHz Intel cpu
KJam has 200Mhz TI OMAP 850 cpu
Jamin has 200Mhz TI OMAP 850 cpu
Mio A700 & A701 each have 520Mhz Intel PXA270 cpu
Eten G500 & M600 each have 400Mhz Samsung S3C2440 cpu

The MHz rating is probably irrelevant as the cpu's are different.

leaskovski · 28 Feb 2006 at 12:43

Orange are gonna go with this. Its gonna be called the M600. Sould get released at the begining of summer.

6thElement · 28 Feb 2006 at 13:45

Ahh, my bad. I thought it still had the 416MHz Intel cpu rather than the 200MHz TI.

In that case is it the Atom which has the Intel chip?

edit: Yep just checked, the Atom has the 416MHz (is it bulvedere?? too many CPU model names in my head to decide

)

leaskovski · 28 Feb 2006 at 18:03

so the £30 per month is really £30+£1.99+VAT?

http://www.phones2udirect.com/Products/type/phones/ProductID/6753/NetworkID//I-Mate-JAMin.asp

If you look at the O2 tarrif, itemised billing is mandatory. Hmm, not bad i suppose, but i don't understand why it the phone cost is cheaper on a cheaper tarrif?

VAT is included.

1 more month and I can get my KJam, been loving my MDA compact, but I'd like the keyboard that the KJam sports, and it's only slightly thicker and heavier than the MDA compact

smokey · 2 Mar 2006 at 19:51

FYI the Voda version is the Qtek VPA Compact. But it's still the same... just silver!
