Slim, nice features but unreliable touchpad and network connection problem


First of all the touchscreen started to hang after 2-3 months, at the beginning was once a day then 2/3 times and now it is almsot every hour! fortunately it can recover by a soft reset. Then a few weeks ago network connection problem appear, it fails to connect no matter what. Even a hard reset does not help.
Really poor design, totally unreliable.
Will never buy i-mate again.
Furhtermore contacted the support service who promised to get back to me but till now no answer, that says it all...

Overview

i-mate JAMA

Editors rating
Rating: 6.7
Verdict

The i-mate JAMA is a Windows Mobile Pocket PC squeezed into a phone-like casing. However, business users might be put off by the fact it is dual-band, only runs Windows Mobile 5 and lacks Wi-Fi.

Typical price

£ 214.95

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
