The JAQ 3 Soon on the American Market The affordable handheld features a QWERTY keyboard	By Iohana Georgescu, Communications News Editor 11th of January 2007, 10:00 GMT Adjust text size:


The JAQ3 was officially announced some time ago and also started shipping in the Middle East. Soon, people from the US will also be able to get themselves a JAQ 3, because the handheld is now heading to stores in America, according to I-mate's announcement at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The I-Mate JAQ 3 sports the usual QWERTY keyboard that will allow users to compose e-mails, write documents or messages faster and easier than before, 128 MB ROM , 64MB RAM, WiFi and Bluetooth with A2DP support for connectivity and a 2.4 inch touchscreen LCD. Other than that, the quad-band GSM phone provides a MicroSD card slot for memory expansion and runs on Windows Mobile 5.0, including, of course, all the usual software like Word, Excel, Windows Media Player and MSN Messenger. The handheld seems to be optimized for messaging, so if the QWERTY keypad doesn't work for you, you can always use the touchscreen for composing e-mails. Also, the scroll wheel which the handheld features on the side provides a more convenient way to navigate. Weighing 135 grams, the phone is not all that heavy either, so you'll have no problems carrying it around. It's also a very slim device, measuring 122 x 66 x 13.5 mm and it will be available for a pretty affordable price. The i-Mate JAQ 3 is mainly a mid-range handheld and will be available for purchase in the US, Canada and Latin America by the end of January, through authorized resellers and carriers in the region, although no information was provided on which carriers will be offering this device.
