It looks like i-mate is looking to give its i-mate JAMA some much needed low-end company. If you’ll recall (or not), the entry-level JAMA smartphone from i-mate was a lackluster Windows Mobile 5.0 aimed at the mass-market. It didn’t have WiFi, 3G, or even EDGE radios, and only worked on two GSM frequencies (dual-band).
Well, i-mate’s at it again with a couple new entry-level JAMA handsets – and they look pretty damn familiar, don’t they? The i-mate JAMA 101 and JAMA 201 get slightly bumped-up spec sheets in order to try and bring up the low-end of i-mate’s lineup – right below the i-mate Ultimate series smartphones.
Both the i-mate JAMA 101 and i-mate JAMA 201 feature a 2-megapixel camera, tri-band (900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM with EDGE, microSD card slot, and Windows Mobile 6.0. Like we said, the spec-sheet was slightly upgraded – so there’s still no 3G or WiFi, but at least we get some WinMo6 goodness.
The i-mate JAMA 101 rocks a WM6 Professional-powered touchscreen, while the i-mate JAMA 201 rocks a full-QWERTY keyboard. And they both fail to pique our interest. At least the US won’t have to bother with this rousing disappointment, seeing as how it doesn’t include 850Mhz-support. Just bring on the rest of the Ultimate lineup, will ya, i-mate?
