i-mate K-JAR still has not been announced and is not depicted on the website of i-mate - probably because i-mate is going to announce this and other phones at 3GSM conference next month, but FCC already has leaked i...

Nice looking phone and i do like the clam shell design more than sliders (they balance better when typing on a desk).

iMate is just a brand though, they can get anyone to make a phone. I'm sure somewhere there's a firm that can make them a 3G unit.
