O2 operator seems to release a new 3G PDA-enabled phone under its brand. The image of this device was published by Slashphone site.

i-mate SPJAS smartphone and i-mate JASJAM communicator, officially    [ 24-08-2006 08:46 ]

Author: Verа Kozlova     Translation by:     

At the i-mate site appeared official pages devoted to i-mate SPJAS smartphone and i-mate JASJAM communicator, i.e. the models will be announced in the nearest future.

I’d remind you these devices are implementation of HTC Breeze and HTC Hermes platforms, which are already introduced under other names, including HTC, HTC MTeoR and HTC TyTN.

The JASJAM doesn’t differ much from other versions of HTC Hermes. You can tell it from others by the inscription on the shell. I’d remind you the main specs: GSM/GPRS/EDGE and WCDMA/HSDPA, sliding QWERTY-keyboard, 2.8” QVGA (240x320 pixels) LCD, 2-megapixel camera plus frontal CIF-camera for video telephony, Samsung 400 MHz CPU, 64 MB RAM and 128 MB flash memory, Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) and Bluetooth, microSD slot, Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phone operating system.

The SP JAS smartphone is a version of HTC Breeze with the frontal camera for video telephony. This is its advantage against HTC MTeoR,. It is positioned as the first 3G Windows mobile smartphone by i-mate. The main specs of the SP JAS are as follows: GSM/GPRS/EDGE and WCDMA, digital keyboard, 2.2” QVGA (240x320 pixels) LCD, 1.3-megapixel camera and frontal CIF-camera for video telephony. Samsung 300 MHz CPU, 64 MB RAM and 128 MB flash ROM, Bluetooth, microSD slot, Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone.
