Any of you guys know whether there's a warranted service center for Imate phones and PDAs here in Egypt?

A small question back, which is more important, size or performance?
A possible alterative could be a Nokia E60 but then I don't know when that'll be out. And there is obviousely the P990 coming in February or March but if you are making a decision now then I guess you're staying with Imate.
I don't want a signature anymore. |

I think i can wait but only for something with Microsoft OS
also I hate all NOKIA
I-mate would be a good but which I-mate?
now I have 3 devices to select
PDA2 , PDA2K and K-jam
I think the best is K-Jam is the best but due to my budget the PDA2K is the one
I'm still waiting some offers for K-Jam from Dubai
thanks all for reply
your openions are welcome |

@omardeneo
Just wondering, how do you evaluate the performance of the SP5m?
Your feedback is highly appreciated.

I thought it was JasJar vs. KJam. Now I definaitely wouldn't go for an older phone for any reason other than budget constraints. Now as a matter of convenience the Kjam is better. When talking big phones smaller is always better but for small phones smaller isn't always best in terms of usability. I wouldn't bother with a PDA2 if you want a qwerty. If you have 802.11g you'll want the Kjam for that but if you only have b then it won't make much of a difference, not to mention that if your main use of wifi is for web browsing no internet connection in Egypt can saturate any wifi connection. Basically it comes down to this, if its a purely budget matter the PDA2 will be the cheapest. But I don't know how the Kjam and PDA2k compare in price. The Kjam is the best Imate there is right now unless you need a bigger screen and a better qwerty and only the JasJar can beet it, but then you seem to have ruled it out.
HP has a phone or two too but I'd emagin that there even more expensive.
There's always the 9300i 
And the 9500
And......um
Next year there's going to be tonnes of wifi phones to make you feel sorry for spending so much this year  |

And I welcome you too. Btw what reason do you mean? College keeps me too busy to check the calendar and we get 2 to 3 season's worth of weather everyday.

The SP5m is a very good and nice phone
the design and the material is better than the SP3
the keypad is very good and its click is nice
the total performance is totally better that before
every thing is faster than the sp3 the sound quality is better also the speaker is better and better
the battery life around 3 hours talking time which make a day and half with my too much phone calls and 2 or 3 times e-mail checking
the wifi antenna is better than PDA2K
I have Wifi at home and I tested the 2 devices while the PDA2K lost the signal the sp5m still working and connected
the display brightness is very good and the screen is very clear and readable
the camera is good but still mobile camera
the ring tones support the mp3 now
the new 4 keys (internet explorer and 3 for media player) is a good idea but some times I click the internet explorer key instead of dialing
I think after 10 days of using it I'm totally satisfied
in general I'm a very bad technical writer so it's better that you ask and I will answer
I already got the K-Jam and return it back after 1 day
It is very slow device and the screen is smaller than I need but the good thing is the screen resolution and the wifi but in general it is a good phone and bad PDA
The screen font is small and in my opinion its better to get the SP5m and the PDA2K than the k-jam
I make a decision to use the SP5m and the PDA2K for the moment because also the JasJar is very big for me

Thanks a million omardeneo for your very detailed and helpful reply.
One very important aspect of the SP5 that I need you to tell me about omardeneo is its performance and functionality as a regular phone. For instance did you have trouble setting it up in terms of GPRS, MMS, and EDGE?
I don’t know how things are where you come from, but where I come from technical support is almost inexistent and you have to do everything by yourself.
Did you by any chance happen to find an online source for setting up the phone?
Also did you happen to see and use the SP5 (not the musical edition) and if you did how does it compare to the SP5m?
U also said that you're heavy call maker and with that kind of usage the phone lasts 1.5 days. How long do these calls take in total duration? coz I'm a heavy calls maker myself.
And also how does GPRS usage affect the battery coz I use a lso of GPRS and IM too.
