i-mate JAQ4
Filed under: Cellphones, Handhelds
By any measure, i-mate and one of its post-HTC era manufacturing partners, Inventec, had some explainin’ to do after the debacle that was the JAQ; while packing Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition into a device of its form factor was pretty innovative for its time, the chubby dimensions and somewhat bizarre appearance left us wanting. Enter the JAQ4, which will become i-mate’s first phone to launch with Windows Mobile 6 (Professional, no less) and makes good on the JAQ’s indiscretions with a more understated look integrated into a black shell. Specs are pedestrian but workable, starting with a quad-band GSM / EDGE radio (no 3G here), 802.11b / g, 128MB ROM, 64MB RAM, Bluetooth 1.2, a camera of the 2.0 megapixel variety, and a 2.8 inch QVGA touchscreen. Follow the gallery link for some shots of the JAQ4 doing its thing, including some alongside i-mate’s Ultimate 5150, which is also being announced today. Oh, and don’t worry about the blasphemous presence of Windows Mobile 5 on the phone — we’ve been assured that it’ll be hitting with 6.
