Hello People,
Last Year, i bought the Nokia 6630, wicked phone but too big for me, i like everything small, compact and stylish and i was starting university in September - my program is already giving me a wireless networked laptop - so i was looking to buy something new, so i thought why not go for a pda and a phone but then i was like why all the hassle and why not just invest in a good pda phone which will include mp3 player, video player and an organizer. I'm really interested in the I-Mate Jam. I'm going to India and Saudi in about 15 days and will be back by Sept. 1 - So people, don't suggest me to buy something which is coming out End of Sept. I have some questions - Can Someone please answer them? Thank You. (P.S : I'm a newbie in Pocket Pc)

1) What would be the perfect bluetooth headset for this pda? (i was looking at the Sony Ericsson HBH-662 - if there's anything better out there, please do give me your suggestions.

2) I noticed the camera quality sucks, is there any upgrade or software fix for this?

3) Any Imate Jam Users, can you please tell me how you like this device and if it has any problems whatsoever. (Software or Hardware Problems) In Other Words, Do You Guys Love / Like / Dislike / Hate the device? Does It do everything you want it to do?

4) Can some of you tell me what are some really popular and useful applications for these devices? (Since i'm in here, i could get the cracked apps :P - so can someone tell me some really good apps to get it)

5) What could be an ideal WiFi SD Card (Cheap, Good Quality & Works Properly without any problems & Shouldn't Stick Out)

6) What are some good accessories i should be looking at?

7) Is there an upgrade possible to the Windows Mobile 5.0?

8) Also, Can we put nice wallpapers on the jam ?

9) Can We Set Mp3s as Ring Tones & Use our own customized Sms Tones like the Nokia's?

10) Can I play full screen movies on the pocket pc - like use smart movie just like i did for Nokia 6630?

11) How is the mp3 sound quality on the Jam? (This is a very important factor to me - i'm talking about the original headphones which come with the Jam Unit - how are they? - also, i'm aware of the 2.5mm to 3.5 mm jack so please dont tell me about that - im just wondering about the original head phones? when compared to the headphones for example Nokia 6630)

12) Any other suggestions, I'd really appreciate.

I guess that's my questions for now. If you could answer them, it'd be great - i'd really appreciate the time. Thank You :)

Hi Luckybandit,

I hope you will enjoy your holiday .... :D

Some short answers on your questions :

1) Yes, the //SE is a quite good BT-headset, just go for it.
2) There is some software on the market that will take several pictures and interpolate them towards a higher resolution, but still the quality sucks. The ETEN M500 is a quite good alternative.
3) I used it mainly for playing MP3's on the go; so it's kind off an overkil
4 - 8) no idea :cool:
9 & 10) Yes of course ....
11) they are not bad but the NOKIA ones are way better. Does anybody know if there are some aftermarket ones ?
12) Check out the ETEN M500 and if it's mainly to play MP3's check out also some other nice alternatives like QTEK 8100 or Silicon-i's i800 (http://www.silicon-i.biz/i800.html)
