i-mate K-JAR Pocket PC phone sighted at FCC - American approval organization
January 30, 2007 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.
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 information about it:
Some highlights about this phone:
- while i-mate branded version is called "i-mate K-JAR" ("K-" denotes QWERTY keyboard, "JAR" denotes rotable display) in reality tihs phone is manufactured by Tech Faith Wireless in China and has model name "Pam"
- this phone has "sub-LCD" (a small external display) that is working also when main display is covered when the phone is closed
- mini-USB connector in USB 1.1 standard
- pre-installed: Java MIDP 2.0
- 240x320 touch screen display
- 2 megapixel camera
- GSM tri-band (GSM850 is missing, but we expect that special version with both American bands for American market will be available too)
- processor: OMAP 730 at 200 MHz
- WAN connectivity: GPRS, but no EDGE (!?) and no 3G (UMTS/HSPA)
- built-in short-range wireless: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
To learn more click here (FCC).
Conclusion: i-mate K-JAR has nice design and particularly it is highly usable also in closed mode but lack of EDGE and 3G will put off most people.
