Buying Jasjar. Users pl help with a few questions

[manu407]

I have a Nokia 9500. My pda use is 50% and phone 50%. I wish to buy JASJAR. Please help me with a few questions:

1. How is the voice quality and volume on external/ phone side of the phone? Pl compare with 9500 as a benchmark. Is it louder? I work in a noisy environment.

2. I am told phone wakes after 3 rings if in powersave mode. Is it true? Can I disable powersave?

3. Can I pick an incoming call without opening the cover if I do not wish to see caller id?

4. How is the speed compared to 9500? I have 3000 Contacts and 500 calendar entries. It takes a long time to search on 9500. 5-20 seconds

5. How is the phone signal reception. Compare with 9500.

6. Can you send fax from JJ? I do it regularly from 9500.

7. How is messaging?

8. Build quality, especially hinge? One has to open and rotate frequently, because no external phone keypad.

9. Did anybody try bluetooth headset Sony HBH-300?

10. There is no escape key. if I make a type mistake while editing can I come out without saving?

11. Handsfree speaker sound quality?

12. when phone rings there is no light on receive button. Does it really hamper receiving in dark? Of course one can open the screen!

13. Battery? How long does the charge last?

14. When U close cover blue tooth shuts but LED says it is on. Is it true? Is it a nuisance?

i have the jj & using it for 6 months now, i will answer the Qs that i can, the ones i don't have the answer i'll leave blank.
hope this would help.

1. How is the voice quality and volume on external/ phone side of the phone? Pl compare with 9500 as a benchmark. Is it louder? I work in a noisy environment.
i cannot compare it to the 9500 since i never owned one, but i can say the sound quality is pretty good since i'm using it for a while now.

2. I am told phone wakes after 3 rings if in powersave mode. Is it true? Can I disable powersave?
you can do that through a third party software, tweaks 2k2 is a very usefull.

3. Can I pick an incoming call without opening the cover if I do not wish to see caller id?
yes you can, just press the answer button on the side.

4. How is the speed compared to 9500? I have 3000 Contacts and 500 calendar entries. It takes a long time to search on 9500. 5-20 seconds
i heard some 9500 - 9300 users say that the jj is better in search feature, but i cannot confirm for that amount of contacts (i don't know anyone that has that much)

5. How is the phone signal reception. Compare with 9500.

6. Can you send fax from JJ? I do it regularly from 9500.
yes you can through a third party app, but i can say this: the 9500 has the best fax service i've ever seen or heard about.

7. How is messaging?
you can handle it professionally which i can say from others experiences is better than the 9500.

8. Build quality, especially hinge? One has to open and rotate frequently, because no external phone keypad.
after using it since early october, the rotation is still the same with no loose, and i use it daily.

9. Did anybody try bluetooth headset Sony HBH-300?
i tried most of the brands available in the market, the two best headsets i found are the jabra and the SE, in terms of quality. i didn't try the hbh-300 though, i tried the hbh-608.

10. There is no escape key. if I make a type mistake while editing can I come out without saving?

11. Handsfree speaker sound quality?
also i found this a very good quality since it has sterio sound system, with two speakers. though, i ran into some unsatisfied users from time to time.

12. when phone rings there is no light on receive button. Does it really hamper receiving in dark? Of course one can open the screen!
you can put it on vibration :)

13. Battery? How long does the charge last?
i charge it normally every 3 days of usage (at least) sometimes longer, but eventually it depends on your usage.

14. When U close cover blue tooth shuts but LED says it is on. Is it true? Is it a nuisance?

i hope this can help.
at the end you have to test it for your self to see whats best for you.
cheers.

Well is there a test number on this site to connect to someone to make sure the video cam works?

Well i just got my i-mate JASJAR(BRAND NEW AND UNLOCKED!!!) and i am well beyond pleased!size is alright ,but hey!this is like the prototype of whats to come within the next couple of years!Its like when the first handheld Cellphone came out!Big as PHUCK!but then reduced its size over the years,Same thing with the pocketpc,starting big and will eventually reduce in size...im lucky because i did not get all of the skype,anti-virus extras-just the basics (meaning everything but the junk!)and all of the hardware(meaning chargers etc.)
The person i bought mine from is David of Mad Monkey Boy Gadgets.He put up with over 25 hours of telephone conversation and over 65 emails within a 2 week time span from me!and never once did he get angry or anything of the nature!
