I-mate Jaq3 Reviewed

CNET have published their review of the I-mate Jaq3 Windows Mobile smartphone. 'Much to our relief, the I-mate Jaq3 looks nothing like its bulky, plasticky predecessor, but that doesn't mean we're in love with the design either. At 4.9x2.6x0.5 inches and 5.6 ounces, the Jaq3 is definitely sleeker and sexier with its black casing. In fact, it pretty much looks like all the other slim, black QWERTY smart phones in the market today--the Samsung BlackJack, the Motorola Q, or the RIM BlackBerry 8800, take your pick. Like the rest of these devices, the Jaq3 is on the wider side, so holding it up to your ear as a phone will take some getting used to if you're new to this type of handset. To make things a bit easier, the Jaq3 features a soft-touch finish to give the exterior a rubber-like texture and make it easier to grip.

There is a 2.4-inch diagonal, 65,000-color display on front that's just a shy smaller than the BlackBerry 8800's and the Moto Q's. We're a bit disappointed that Invertec (the device's manufacturer) didn't make the screen larger, given that it looks like there was room to do so with the extra space below the display and QWERTY keyboard. That said, the I-mate Jaq3 certainly trumps the aforementioned smart phones since it is a touch screen. It's quite responsive, and text and images looked sharp thanks to 320x240 pixel resolution. '
