Review of the i-mate JasJar / HTC Universal

[Shun]

Nice and unique review. By concentrating on the practical use, it cover many aspect that other reviews fall short.

I would be lying if I were to say that it is the best review on iMate JasJar. It is best if readers could read on the features from other reviews, then sum up everything with MB's review to get a complete review on this powerful device.

Another nice review - http://pocketpcdubai.com/i-mate_PPC/jasjar/reviewp1.html by Docc... the same docc on MB?

I was expecting to see more Cons on the device, kind of surprise that Michael didn't find any extra beside the few obvious points like size, price and not phone friendly...

I'm still trying to find a review on the advance features, eg, built-in SQL Server preformance, can run the mobile version of IIS and MSMQ and etc. Anyone with recommendation?

PS: there seems to be lot of complain on HTC Wizard, eagerly waiting it review on MB before deciding on it...

Hi Shun,

Thanks for the comment :) And yea, thats me ;)

Cheers,
Docc.

P.S. In regards to the Wizard, i think you should wait. There's more to it than meets the eye ;)

I know I should wait, but... how long? :P

The Wizard has more functions than I ask for, I don't need the additional features in the next generation devices. Unless HTC is going to release cheaper devices without the camera or EDGE, I think Wizard will be my next phone if it don't have major problems and is priced reasonably.

Can share your experience with the Wizard, is it very bad? Any review soon?

The other devices I considerate now is the next generation HP mobile messenger, do you have any information on it?

Hi Shun,

I know the Wizard "seems" to have it all. But, in all honesty, the processor WILL be a problem. Right now, its a big brouhaha as not many have actually got their hands on it, but once people actually start using it, you will realise that it really isnt all that you think it is. Thats why the suggestion to wait :)

Regarding the HP Mobile Messenger. My advice would be to stay far far away from it. The processor is abysmally slow and it doesnt even support WM 5.0. If you install a GPS software onto it, you would hardly be able to install 2-3 application it as everything is used by the software. Resources are also very limited, so all in all, its just good as a phone with slight PDA usability and nothing more.

Wizard review is planned, maybe within the next 2 weeks.

Cheers,
Docc.

I'm beginning to worry... dilemma, I hope to get rid of my 6670 while the price is still quite good, but can't find other phone worth getting now... :(

Anyway, my plan for a new phone is 2 to 3 months away, will be waiting for MB and your review.

BTW, I'm looking for information on new HP Mobile Messenger with WM 5.0, not the existing or announced models, :)
