i-mate's latest handhelds

i-mate JAMA 201 continued

Like many other QWERTY-equipped devices, the JAMA 201 is fairly large. It measures 113mm tall, 63mm wide and 14mm thick, and weighs 152g.

Above the keyboard is a large bank of shortcut buttons — Call, End, Home and Back, Windows Mobile softmenu keys and a large navigation button. These are ranged on a sloping base: the section of the casing that haolds the screen is thicker than that holding the keyboard. The 320-by-240 resolution screen measures 2.4in. across the diagonal and is in landscape orientation.

The JAMA 201 is a tri-band GSM device with GPRS support, but it lacks 3G. It has 128MB of ROM and 64MB of RAM, and there's a microSD card slot for memory expansion. This is located on the upper front edge of the casing where it's easily accessible, although it's not protected by a cover. The processor, from Samsung, runs at 300MHz.

There is a 2-mgapixel camera at the back. Bluetooth is integrated, but Wi-Fi is absent.
