yeah, like Qtek 5050 or something.
It is a bit too big for my liking too. I know use the Qtek 2020 (MDAII and so on). It is already big and I always thought size doesn't matter (I used to drag around a notebook + cellphone) but....
Now that the summer is on it's way I noticed the problem in size. Last friday it was 34C (93F?). I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I didn't know where to put the pda! Good thing I have the T105 as backup. Fits in any pocket! To compair the T105 is 75grams, the 2020 190g and the universal is 210g.
Everything was ugly, but your beautiful face. |

according to this Pocket PC Thoughts article i-mate will definitly be putting out this universal with their own brand.
This was what I was hoping, and more or less assumed would happen
great!

I wish they had made a small screen with numeric keypad behind the touch screen, with the user having the option of using which ever they like...

Expansys are now listing the i-mate version of this and its called the JasJar at a price of £744.95 !! saying it will be available in a few weeks.
strange thing is that I don't find anything about it on the i-mate site and only one mention of a beta hardware version of it on a google search
Expansys say "It will boast a 180° rotating screen, full fold-out keyboard, tri-band GSM/GPRS, Bluetooth, WiFi, a 1.3 Megapixel camera and much more" but no mention of 3G and for that price I would hope it had the 3G

Looks a bit too much like a makeup mirror.

Why are there two cams if there is no 3g?

I guess its possible that Expansys just don't have all the facts but you'd think they'd know if it was 3G or not
anyway, for that price I won't be interested so it doesn't matter much I guess but I was intrigued to see them say its available in a few weeks and quoting a price when that was the first I heard of it, especially as Expansys coming soon stuff normally doesn't have a price

it is 3G, orange have it available to pre-order, and its under their 3G section, and also in the brief description they say:
'The Orange SPV M5000 is a 3G PDA that can be used to make and recieve voice calls; it's even got a mega-pixel camera and a screen that you can turn through 180 degrees.'
There you go masseur.

yeah, I know the model is 3G (its mentioned in the first post of this thread for example) but the point I was making was that it seemed like a large omission on the side of Expansys to not mention 3G and that left me wondering if the i-mate version some how left out the 3G capability
I guess we'll have to wait and see

I just found a blog with an initial impression from someone who has managed to get his hands on a HTC Universal device.
I guess most of it is as I might have expected but its interesting that he notes how BIG it is!
