    After previously thinking that ...Ian Aspinall -- 12/03/08

    After previously thinking that the iMate JasJam was the %u201Cbe all%u201D (when I first got it anyway) I was blown away by the speed and usability of the P3600i despite losing the slide out keyboard.

    Best by far is the network wizard which id's your Telco and establish settings accordingly. Makes for an idiot proof set up out of the box.

    Telstra's NextG is working a treat and the download speeds combined with the processor is sensational.

    Finally %u2013 unlike my JasJam - I have not had to restart this device once due to hangs or crashes.

    The good: Processor speed GPS Win Mobile 6 Size (when compared to JasJam, BlackBerry, Treo)

    The bad: Using some applications forces device to use 3G connection even when Wi-Fi is available. No flash on the camera No VGA output

    Moved from the iMate Jam to th ...mjcowley -- 08/04/08

    Moved from the iMate Jam to this phone. Was surprised to find a quality GPS and Map Pack included. I am running it on the 3 network and it has surpassed my expectations. Only issue is its processor is not compatible with a popular software package - Audio Recorder, which I use for recording lectures. Software developer blames the type of processor used, however I've found no issues with other programs.

    The good: Brighter crisper screen then iMate Jam Battery Life Speed Camera quality

    The bad: No flash for camera Jumps to 3G sometimes despite having Wi-Fi avail

Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Decent processing speed
  • Great connectivity
  • GPS and maps
  • Above average camera for a PDA-phone
The bad:
  • Large PDA-style design
  • No keypad
  • Battery heats up noticeably
  • Internal speaker needs to be louder
The bottomline:

Good performance stands out for the P3600i, a PDA-style handset that's too hefty to win any beauty pageants. Great connectivity and a decent camera make this a great option for the traveling business person who wants to travel light.
