| - | The phone portion of the K-JAM is, like many modern smartphones, quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900) designed for cross-planet roaming wherever you can get an actual mobile signal. It's also equipped with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (802.11b/g), miniSD and the aforementioned USB port for data transfers, as well as an infrared port for talking to truly ancient phones. | + | The phone portion of the K-JAM is, like many modern smartphones, quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900) designed for cross-planet roaming wherever you can get an actual mobile signal.

| On the smartphone side, the K-JAM packs in 128MB of ROM and 64MB of SDRAM; that's a touch on the low side, although it could be supplanted with a miniSD card. It's somewhat meagre Texas Instruments OMAP 850 200MHz processor runs Windows Mobile 5.0, which gives you access to a raft of productivity applications, including Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook, along with slightly less business-centric applications such as Media Player, Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger. | On the smartphone side, the K-JAM packs in 128MB of ROM and 64MB of SDRAM; that's a touch on the low side, although it could be supplanted with a miniSD card.

| - | i-Mate rates the K-JAM's 1250mAh Lithium Ion battery as being good for between 3.5-5 hours of talk time and between 150-200 hours of standby time. Our testing revealed figures slightly lower than that, although we're used to seeing phone manufacturer stated figures sit on the optimistic side. On a moderately heavy usage profile we were able to keep the K-JAM up and running for around four days in between charges. That was with relatively low wireless and Bluetooth usage; you could expect to halve that (or [[http://www.techytape.com/story/429427/|www.techytape.com]] worse) if you were a heavy data pusher. We did like the fact that the phone charges from any USB connection, including when it's plugged in for data transfers. | + | i-Mate rates the K-JAM's 1250mAh Lithium Ion battery as being good for between 3.5-5 hours of talk time and between 150-200 hours of standby time.

| On the application side, the K-JAM performed at what we'd deem an acceptable level for a smartphone, but never really swiftly, which we'd put down to the comparatively weak 200MHz processor at its core. It was most noticeable when using the camera functionality; while most camera phones are particularly built for opportunity-based snapshots, the four to five seconds you'll have to wait for the camera to fire up will render most such opportunities with the K-JAM wasted. | On the application side, the K-JAM performed at what we'd deem an acceptable level for a smartphone, but never really swiftly, which we'd put down to the comparatively weak 200MHz processor at its core.

| The K-JAM is currently available at a lower asking price than the JASJAR -- that's hardly surprising, given the somewhat lower specification screen, lack of 3G support and much less grunty processor, and for what it offers is good value in a very competitive smartphone space. | The K-JAM is currently available at a lower asking price than the JASJAR -- that's hardly surprising, given the somewhat lower specification screen, lack of 3G support and much less grunty processor, and for what it offers is good value in a very competitive smartphone space. | ||
