I-Mate K-JAM vs Qtek 9100

[ShALLaX]

Is there any obvious reason why the K-JAM is about £60 ($108) more expensive than the 9100? I'm assuming they're either made in the same factory or the same "blueprints" are given to each company to make the device. If this is the case then I'm guessing I-Mate is just playing off of it's well established brand name... or maybe there are just some software differences.

Thoughts?

The only thing I can think of is the support you get from I-mate. Now I know its not great but have you tried to find an English support site for the QTEK..

[ShALLaX]

Hehe, this is true.

[ccsnet]

Hehe, this is true.TBH I've not been able to work out what the 'offical' qtec site is... They all seem to be too naff to be a corprate site.

Is it http://www.qtek.fi/ ?

I _think_ its the .fi site. Usually foreign websites are all naff (I mean look at anything .com.tw).

found this site, but can't speak swedish

www.qtek.nu

found this site, but can't speak swedish

www.qtek.nuA better site but "distributör för Qtek-produkterna" not them ;)

Still - I have to say the lack of web site etc has convinced me that the extra £50 or so and 1 year warrenty instead of 2 is worth it in the long run so I'll probably get an Imate.

can we have a list of best price/dealer for the qtek 9100 and the imate k jam sim free, from all purchasers to be in the uk?

qtek 9100 on buymobilephones.net £429 inc vat

imate k-jam amazon.co.uk £449 inc vat

anyone found better deals?

thanks for any replies. :D

[ShALLaX]

Qtek 9100 on www.smartdevicesdirect.com is £410.08
I-mate K-JAM on www.smartdevicesdirect.com is £468.83

I've ordered the Qtek from above back when it was only £400 (they raised the price by £10 pre-tax!).

Hrm, £449.99 for a K-JAM, thats a very good price indeed. If I trusted that Amazon would get stock early I'd probably change my order.

[aliendad]

for a change i have to be patient, going on holiday next week, so wont place an order untill i get back :lol:

wowo new low price £349!!!

international shipping ?

[aliendad]

the more i think about it, i would prefer to get the i-mate k-jam, due to the availability of support.

with this type of product you are more likely to have a software problem than a hardware problem, two years is great but probably not as useful as support.

i still cannot find on-line support for qtek in english

note for rookery, do you know anyone in the UK who could order and post to you? that way no import duty cause it's a gift.

p.s. amazon.co.uk is still showing better price for imate k-jam £449 inc vat

Thats excluding VAT.
£349*1.175 = £410.075 -> £410.08

I doubt you could get them to ship it internationally/ avoid VAT.

Yes, it will cost £349 + £35 shipping around HK5500 when it ship to me, earlier, i think this device will only cost USD4xx, but now it cost much than that, reconsider to get one or not, for me, HK5500 for just a phone, not so reasonable, Thanks for the information :o

no wifi = no buy AGREE

yes, it has a touch screen

Amazon is good but they don't indicate when they will get stock !! If you are a patient person for a new PDA then it's worth waiting at least a month or so before buying as the price always drops.

If your anything like me though waiting a couple of months after release would be detrimental to my health :lol: .

Imagine , you are walking down the road one month after release on your nokia because you sold your Jam to fund your new K-Jam, you turn the corner and there is a guy chatting away on his brand new K-Jam :shock: Nooooooo !!! I'd rather eat Liver :wink:

[ShALLaX]

Ive been phoneless for a month as it is - I just want to get my hands on thi so I can have a phone again :|

[Kensai]

Where are we getting Qtek ROM updates from? :?

[ccsnet]

Where are we getting Qtek ROM updates from? :?Althogh buymobiles.net have them thats exactly the reason I decided to get the Imate...

Terran

[Kensai]

Heh, reading the manifesto of this portal in the front page, I get the idea that probably THIS is the place to search for software support online. :wink:
But ROMs need to be official. I hope they are concurrently released here as well.
