iMate is all set to introduce its lineup of Smart Phones into the market. Among the devices on offer are the iMate KJAM and the iMate SP5 (with a hump on top to ensure good RF reception). iMate is yet to announce availability and pricing on these models. So you just have to wait till then. Unfortunately, the JASJAR, which happens to be the world’s first Windows Mobile 5.0 3G enabled GSM/GPRS mini-laptop phone with Wi-Fi won’t be one of the models on offer. Disappointed

While it has the appearance of a small PDA the Kjam is in fact a fully featured Quad band mobile phone with the expected quick dials and a rather effective speakerphone, but also in this shell is a Texas Instruments OMAP 200Mhz processor endowing the Kjam with enough processing power to do much more than make calls.With 128MB ROM and 64 RAM the iMate is equipped to run some fairly beefy applications and unlike it’s baby brother iMate have blessed this version with inbuilt wireless 802.11g allowing it to connect to WiFi networks and hotspots making the best use of it’s inbuilt browser. We hooked the Kjam up to the office network using its WEP encryption and switched the browser to landscape mode, it’s only when using the keyboard to use web based email or fill in details that you really appreciate having the full keypad rather then playing with a stylus.Connectivity is just about spot on, the 802.11g wireless seems very capable and held onto signals well, there is Bluetooth 1.1 for attaching a wireless headset and like all IMate’s there is a mini USB socket to connect up to any suitably equipped PC
