i-mate JASJAR 3G PDA

User rating 4.2   Read reviews - Add review
The i-mate JasJar features a unique 180 degree swivel display to show off its WM5 operating system. Other key features include a 520 MHz processor, 1.3 MP camera, Wifi, dual speakers, MP3 playback and an expandable memory card slot.
The HTC Universal is by far the most advanced hybrid PDA available in the market right now. Like other HTC products it has many names. The HTC Universal is also known as Imate Jasjar, Qtek 9000, Orange SPV m5000, T-mobile MDA PRO, O2 XDA EXEC etc. The PDA runs the latest windows Mobile 5 OS and resembles a tablet pc.

The screen of the universal rotates 180 degrees and closes, the exact same as tablet laptops. The Universal has a 512 mhz Intel processor and is capable of doing anything your home computer can. Also if the built in 50 Mb free memory is not enough you can also get a SD card with a capacity of up to 4GB and 8GB is coming soon.
HTC Universal Design view

The Universal was designed to perfection. Not only does the screen have a resolution of 640x 480 for viewing html websites efficiently the screen also rotates 180 degrees. For a PDA this is a brilliant idea because when you rotate the screen and close it the screen is on the outside and looks exactly like a normal Pocket Pc. When it is in this mode the screen flips to portrait view. Also you can still navigate the screen because there is a 5 way directional pad on the right hand side of the screen. Under the navigational buttons there is a secondary camera. The secondary camera is mostly for video conferencing and often runs through 3G networks because of the high speeds required. In places where there is no 3G network you can still do video calling on Windows mobile phones with a program called Microsoft Portrait.

 The Keyboard on the universal is also magnificent. It has a full QWERTY keyboard, with all the necessary buttons you need like tab, caps lock, ok button to close programs etc. The keyboard backlight depends on which model you have, but comes in blue and red.
A lot of people think that since there is no external display, you have to open it every time to see who is calling and to answer the phone.

This is not true at all!! The Universal has two buttons on the side: Talk and end, and are perfectly positioned for your thumb when holding it. You do not even have to open the phone because there is a mic on the outside (3 slits) that you can hear from when on a call. Voice Command in my opinion is a must for this phone because this way you do not have to a) dial the number you want to call because you can pronounce it and b) Voice Command reads out the contacts name or number so you don’t need to open the phone every time to see whose calling.
