JAM or PDA 2K?

[z0mbi3]

Hi,

I'm due for an upgrade very soon and just wanted to get peoples opinions on the PDA 2K and the JAM.

General impressions of the PDA 2K seem to be a bit dissapointing, however I like the idea of having wifi.

The JAM seems all round very sleek and impressive however the downside would have to be the low ram and the lack of wifi, but then it is a USB host (thats correct isn't it?).

User experiences / opinions would be greatly appreciated. Also any info on the screens? As I couldn't see myself with a screen protector / case on the JAM...

I was indecided whichone to buy...and at last I have chosen the JAM...because of the size and the battery last. The ram should be a problem...but there is the SD slot that helps a lot...except for some appz that do not run well if installed on the SD card. For the Wi-fi it could be a solution the SD card expansion...SD256MB+Wi-fi (from SANDISK)...but is a little bit longer and looks out of the JAM when inserdet :roll: . I have installed about 7 essential APPZ and have still 15mb free...and yes U have the USB cabble to connect with the PC, but without a craddle!

Regards,
Primoz

p.s. I haven`t put on the screen protector yet. And if U go buy it in the shop (not via internet) try it...because there are a lot of people having dead pixles...including me :roll:

just to confirm from someone who's actually used the JAM. Is it a USB host?

Like you I'm in two minds about which one to go for. I like all the features on the PDA2K, the keyboard, built in wi-fi and 128meg ram. But at the same time I appreciate the JAMs small size. How are people getting on with the SD WI-FI cards particularly with 802.11G/B mixed mode WAPs? I've read about the numerous problems particularly with D-Link 802.11G/B WAPs and since I own one of these devices I really need some reassurance that the SD WIFI will work with my D-Link WAP.

Also how do people on here find the performance of the SD WIFI cards?

hmm, I've got the same problem.
Now I have MDA III but it is to big for me, while it has all I need - wifi, ram and extra buttons for today, messaging, internet and ok button.
What forejudge to sell MDA III - it fall down on the floor twice and from that time upper part (screen) is not so proper to the down part :?

Very important thing for me is battery .
I dont know if it will be better then in MDA III. You must think that there is replacement battery to MDA III, thich has more cappacity then the original: 2000 mAh and even 3000 mAh made by MugenPower.
As far as know, for now there is no replacement battery to Jam (1200 mAh :cry: )
Theoretical, Jam has smaller screen and needs less battery ...
Spb GPRS Monitor shows on my MDA III 6,5 hours of working when it is full (brightness on 2 position - near minimum ) - maybe someone tells me what the same program shows on Jam ????

Look what I found when I was looking some info about Jam:

Does anyone know if compatibility has been improved between SD WI-FI and 802.11G/B mixed mode WAPs particularly D-Link kit?

I'd also like to know if it can work as USB host eg can I plug it into a USB hard drive in my car for playing music?

There is NO USB host capabilities neither in JAM, nor PDA2k. Jam has a mini-usb port but its USB client only, so you can use it only for syncronise, nothing else.
