I got a reason to not get it.
Wait for the HTC Hermes (aka MDA Vario 2/O2 Trion)
Should be available in about 2 months time.
For your patience, you'll get a 2.1 mpx cam, 3G, and a more powerful cpu.

no reason why not. It has pretty much everything that one would want to use. Unless 3g is something you cant do without..

Thanks for your replys, 3G is no concern for me. Would like to wait 2 months for the new one but me contract is up this month and its seems to be a quite a cheap price on o2 at the mo.

if 3g doesn not worry you then I can't think of a single reason not to get the k-jam if you are after that sort of device.

it has a fantastic long battery life, excellent keyboard for typing, big screen for the total size of the device, lots of apps available, etc etc etc (I could go on but...)

the only negative for me is the lack of 3g which I did like in the jasjar so am looking forward to the jasjam (hermes)

I'm also hoping they finally bring out the firmware with the A2DP support

Well the new ones obviously going to cost a lot more and as I’m on a bit of a tight budget I think I will be getting the k jam. It seems there are not a lot of bad comments on the thing so I think my mind is made up. Thanks

Plus yes i hate having to wait, thing is when you wait you hear of another one being release in another few months after the one your waiting for, its endless.

in the first firmware for the k-jam (I had one from the first batch from Expansys) it was tinny, but the first firmware upgrade fixed that and I have no complaints at all

Thats a negative , since i owned my k-jam for about 1 months the call quality is superb which i was surprised becoz the jam (magician) the previous sibling sounded tinny, but the k-jam is just as good as SE and Nokia i think.

You can get the k-jam for free on the t-mobile flext 35 price plan. www.t-mobile.co.uk

i just ordered one today, free on tmobile relax 25 with unlimited gprs internet.
fed up of "waiting" for new phones, been out of contract 6 months already.
Maybe by the time i finish this new 12month contract the p990 might be out.

3G is one thing.. as they said, if it doesn't bother u, then KJam is somewhat perfect for a mobile phone/ppc.

one more thing.. I don't like the camera.. although it is 1.3MP like the htc-hurricane and htc-tornado, the picture quality is way poorer. esp. on low light.. there are a lot of noise.. (the speckle fix does the trick but it is still not comparable with the SP 1.3MP pic quality.

if 3G and camera is not a big concern for u... there's no reason for u not to buy the KJam... [addsig]
