The i-mate JAQ is meant to be a feature-rich smart phone for globe-trotting execs, and while its 
specs look okay on paper, the JAQ is less than a pleasure to use. The physical design is the main culprit, turning what could be a Motorola Q or Palm Treo competitor into an ungainly mess.
The JAQ feels far too large in the hand, measuring 4.8 x 2.7 x 0.8 inches and weighing 5.6 ounces. The large touchscreen is nice (2.8 inches, 320 x 240 pixels), and we like the size of the QWERTY keyboard, but the number keys are the same color as the rest, making basic dialing a chore. The battery compartment juts out the back, ruining any chance of sleekness, and the buttons and keyboard feel cheap. The touchscreen requires an extra firm touch, which is tiring, and the stylus inconveniently pulls out from the bottom left corner. :: LAPTOP Magazine • i-mate JAQ Smart Phone ::
