yeah, I only buy i-mate because they have generally good support and are quick to release firmware updates. I've not heard good things about qtek support and I wouldnt buy a network branded one.
i-mate will call this the JasJam apparantly, but its not been officially announced yet and doesn't appear on their site yet either, whereas O2 for example have alerady announced it.
mind you, from past experience, i-mate tend to announce late and the device is available soon after

In previous models there was a SDIO port so you could plugin for example an FM SDIO card.
Is there anything like this in the HERMES or can anything be done with the microSD slot? |

min SD is the one down point for me when I moved from the Jam to the k-JAM.
I already had a 2gb SD card and was close to buying a 4gb card when I learned about the mini SD in the k-jam and so had to settle for 1gb in my new device.
Fortunately now 2gb have been released so I am back where I was a year ago but you're right, there are very very few SDIO compliant mini SD devices available

SDIO compliant means that you can use more than just memory cards, such as GPS, external camera etc etc
early iPAQs were not SDIO compliant and that caused quite a few complaints but these days most devices have SDIO slots.
Once you have a device that is SDIO compliant (i.e. it can accept things other than just memory cards) the next problem is actually finding such devices and at present there are very few in the mini SD format though tere are plenty in the regular size SD format

Why does there need to be a replacement?
I guess they would not be necessary as more phones are becoming more functional...

I guess people are always going to want something extra that the device does not offer as standard

It looks like the HTC Hermes has another face lift.
And it comes with a juicy 400mhz intel processor.

Hi !
I been reading as much as I can about the Imate JasJam and wonder if this is the official imate page for shopping
http://www.imatephonestore.com/product.asp?itemMDL=IMATE_jasjam
Are there are places to buy unbranded JasJam's that Easto people would recommend?

never seen that store before and its US based so I suspect its a retailer that simply sells imate
the JasJam isn't officially announced yet and doesn't appear on their website yet either
I get my i-mates from Expansys as they tend to be first to get them in UK
