Hi .................,

You are welcome,

Ans 1: You have to install Real Player in order to run rm files. I think its freely available on their website. but I have a copy of it. Whenever u need it i can send it to u.

Ans2: I dont talk too much, but i never had battery problem, (I charge it everyday). It depends on use, but i use it too much for playing mp3, internet, watching clips, plus 6-8 calls each of 3 mins average and it does abt 1 day. and there are many options available in the settings menu if u want to conserve battery.

Yes there are some problems as u know noting is perfect. The problems that i get r slow speed n video 176x144.

Well, I really hate nokias, I dont know your 'type of usage' but nokia and i-mate cannot be compared.

anyways my email is saadukg@hotmail.com if u want to ask more questions.

        Saad................

        Thanks alot for answering my wonders.

        though i am not done asking yet lol!

        1-can the realplayer be found with the WMP or should i install it? i really have alot of RM format Videos,do you think it will play it?

        2-How about the TALK TIME?
        STAND BY TIME?

        and does the JAMin really have some problems as people over here saying? and you said that the Video shoot is bad but how bad?? 122x177? or what?

        planing to buy this cell or the NOKIA N80,if you were me which one would you go for and why!

        THANKS...

          The jamin is crap.Iam a big fan of i-mate.but i must say there is a big problem with WINDOWS 5.0 in the -k jam-jamin-. i bought the k-jam then jamin and now iam back to jam-black. Man MADE IN CHINA is a scary thing. Video problems very slow crapy camera.If you like watching quality video on you'r i-mate buy the black JAM.I lost a lot of money on k-jam and jamin.

                  Hi thr,

                  Ans1. its sound is good but not loud like nokia.

                  Ans2. Yes u can play any format like wmv, wma, mp3, avi,... but for more extensions u have to use TCMP player which is freeware and very good

                  Ans3. Video is not good

                  Ans4. These pppcs' are made by HTC in taiwan but sold through different carriers, (i am not sure abt this ques)

                    Ans 1: Yes its good but not best, not loud as Nokias .(NOT best)
                    Ans 2: Yes you can play, wav, wmv, wma, mp3 etc, but for playing Mpeg1 and other formats you can download a free software (TCMP Player)which is very stable and fast.
                    Ans 3: For Video, i will say poor
                    Ans 4: Not sure , but these mobiles are made by HTC corp. and sold through different carriers, like O2, I-mate, Qtek, but for me best is i-mate.

                              Hi iam using this Mobile for abt 2 weeks. I think its the best PPC + Phone coz of many reasons. Its 2 mp camera results is more than expected except video. and this phone can easily be operated by one hand which is a big improvment. Also people who say its slower as compared to JAm, thats true but its not that slower. After upgrading to the latest SW ver. the battery has improved and is faster.

                              I have used some pocket pcs but this one is best from all. I cureently having JAM and this one. The main improvments in this mobile as compared to JAM are:

                              Better display
                              Can be operated by one hand easily
                              No backup battery so u r free from Data loss
                              Win 5.0 is great
                              both r 150gms but this one feels lighter
                              Better casing then JAM
                              2.0Mp camera is too much improved
                              Batterylife is better
                              Wifi
                              and more

                              But some bad points r:
                              Video capture of JAM is better
                              This processor is slower (not that slow)

                              Any questions plz ask here, i will try to answer.

                              Saad.

                                    Hi... I'm currently using a phone on "3" network in Australia but planning to switch to this PDA. I was told by "3" customer service that it is not possible. Is that right?

                                      No one has mentioned the camera's macro ability. I want to take pictures of documents. Any comments? Most cameras are useless in this area

                                        JAMin versus K-JAM

                                        I have been searching online for 2 weeks for info to decide between JAMin or K-JAM, and I didn't find a true and clear comparison.

                                        JAMin: Has 2MP CMOS camera (BIIIG DIFFERENCE)
                                        K-JAM: 1.3MP normal camera (fair but not comparable to Jamin)

                                        JAMin: BlueTooth v2
                                        K-JAM: BlueTooth v1.2 (not a problem)

                                        JAMin: SD for extra memory
                                        K-JAM: mini-SD (even though mini-SD is newer, SD reads mini-SD whereas the newest doesnt read SD, weird)

                                        JAMin: no Keypad
                                        K-JAM: very sexy very comfortable very durable Keypad


                                        So basically every geek (not pejorative) on the net will tell you if you want the camera go for the JAMin and if you want the Keypad go for the K-JAM. WELL NO $H!T EINSTEINS! (I REALLY WANTED THE CAM and I REALY WANTED THE KEYPAD) It's a tuff call and that's why we're here. I never post opinions, i usually only look for them. But since so many people had the same question as me with no answers, here's the deal.

                                        I checked both pieces in a showroom here in Dubai. I just BOUGHT the JAMIN! The reason is simple: They digital keypad on screen is an alternative, but slower than the keypad. ALSO, a big factor in my decision is the Decuma Alphabetic handwriting recognition built-in both devices. U can simply write IN YOUR OWN handwriting and its changes to electronic text automatically. Im not talkin like the old palm where u have to write letter after letter, u just write as u would on a real paper, using the full screen writing wherever u want. I tried it, and it was so precise - 95% - i have a nice handwriting)

                                        So finally, this amazing built-in recognizer made me choose for the JAMin and basically the amazing 2MP camera (check out the net for crazy pics it can take).

                                        Also JAMin is newer but this doesnt always mean better, but in case it does ;)

                                        Ok enough, Im gonna go play with my new Mega-kingkong-in-ur-palm-Toy!
