Reviews of the i-mate Jaq3
-
CNET Review
The Good: The I-mate Jaq3 sports a sleeker design and adds a 2-megapixel camera and integrated Wi-Fi. The Windows Mobile 5 smart phone also has integrated Bluetooth, push e-mail capabilities, and the I-mate Suite, which provides extra productivity and security utilities to the business user.
The Bad: The Jaq3's performance is sluggish and call quality was poor. Video playback was choppy, and there's no 3G support.
The Bottom Line: While the I-mate Jaq3 offers a number of improvements over its predecessor, this Windows Mobile smart phone falls way short of the competition with poor performance.
Manufacturer: Carrier Devices Ltd. (i-mate)
