At long last, I own a JAM !

I've just received my JAM yesterday evening from HELLO! at Bugis Junction. It really is a sight to behold for a Pocket PC (PPC). I never thought I'd see the day when I'd own a PPC this small and functional. Actually, I am referring to the i-Mate JAM which is another brand name for the Xda II Mini. In fact, they are also being marketed in other countries under brand names such as Qtek-S100, MDA Compact, HTC Magician and Dopod 818 (which is the Chinese version of the Mini).

i-mate JAM .... aka Xda II Mini 
I really like the size of the JAM. Look at the picture posted above, its smaller than my current Nokia 6150. You just got to say WOW the first time you put your hands on one of these babies....
I've had my i-Mate JAM for two days now, and it's an awesome device. The JAM is tiny (about the size of a 3G iPod, with more rounded edges) and has all the features of any PPC on the market today, minus WiFi and VGA. The lack of WiFi on the JAM does not bother me at all as I seldom go around the hotspots in town. Details of the Technical Specifications can be found HERE.
Voice quality is quite good, and the 416mhz processor is more than enough for basic PIM tasks. I intend to use a 1 GB SD card to store mp3s, (the original set comes with a 256 MB SD card).
Yeah, once you play with the Xda II Mini, you'll want one for sure, just like me.
