i-mate JASJAM

Exclusively available on Telstra's Next-G network, the i-mate JASJAM is an HSDPA capable smart phone that features a slide-out keyboard, built in Wi-F...

Sliding backlit keyboard, Screen flips into landscape mode automatically, HSDPA capable, Generous features list, microSD card slot

Bluetooth only 1.2, Proprietary USB and headphone jack, Slider isn't smooth, Sluggish performance

The JASJAM is a fair device with a generous features list, but a slow processor and chunky size dampen its appeal.

Review: i-mate JasJam

If you're one of those people that's been looking for a phone for a long time, chances are you know what it feels like to be burdened by choice. In the case of mobile phones, the market might be seen to have just too much choice.

i-mate JASJAM

I thought this phone was brilliant, contrary to the beliefs of most people. The JasJam's keyboard is the best of any smartphone i've used. No software issues, unlike many other people, and the touchscreen was great. An excellent phone;

Great list of features, Large, easy to use keyboard, good touchscreen, Appointments, messages displayed on home screen

Clunky, but that's fine with such an amazing phone

Stock standard wm5/6 rom is useless jump on over to xda developers and get a custom rom. makes the phone flawless

completely upgradeable when it comes to software

battery life is poor unless you go buy the extended batter, then the phone looks pregnant

It is unfortunate to find so many entries slaging the JasJam. We have experienced the same problems as described here, and worse the complete indifeerence of the Telstra staff from whom we bought the thing from in the first place. All they can do is...
