Recently, Windows Mobile smartphone maker i-mate announced JAMA Pocket PC Phone Edition. The device is nowhere close to the company’s Ultimate series — rather it aims to appeal to the broader non-smartphone market. As you can figure out for yourself, the “broader market” means lower price and the lack of features. In that sense, the JAMA doesn’t have neither a WiFi, nor a 3G radio. But wait, this device also lacks EDGE; Its dual-band GSM/GPRS radio is way too slow for any serious mobile Internet usage. Furthermore, the JAMA sports Bluetooth 1.2 (where’s 2.0?) and runs under the Windows Mobile 5.
JAMA’s good sides include 2.4″ touchscreen, 2 MP camera, and the 15.6mm thin slim body that makes the device look more stylish. It is powered by Samsung 300 MHz CPU, has 128 MB of ROM and 64 MB of RAM. All in all, an entry-level smartphone that, if priced correctly, could easily find its buyers especially among the first time smartphone users.
