I am due for an upgrade :)

I am on the weekender contract and due for upgrade apparently. (I am sure it was weekender plus?! they call it weekender everyday now?)

It appears that the best phone I can get on a weekender is the i-mate JASJAM according to the Vodacom website.

I am looking for a business tool, something that I can actually use a little more than just a phone. At the moment I have a SE K800i which is a good phone but not a great way of storing appointments, organizing etc...something which I am sure a Windows Mobile phone can do better. A camera and fancy hardware is not too important but good software is pity the i-phone is such a misssion :/ (when are we actually getting them?)

So what are your opinions on the i-mate JASJAM? Is there something better available I don't know about?

I was looking at the new HTC diamond but only dreaming it would be available on a weekender, even as an upgrade *drools*

There is also the Palm Centro, but it does not have Windows Mobile and the software looks cheap to me :/ thoughts?

I see on these forums there are a few mixed reviews about the JASJAM :/ the specs to me look hot though even for a phone as old as that. According to one website the JASJAM has HSDPA as well

EDIT: Even though the Palm Centro gets a better overall rating on gsmarena and is newer than the i-mate JASJAM I still prefer the specs of the i-mate JASJAM. I know nothing of the Palm OS though.

Oh this sux.

Just spoke to a Vodashop guy who says the I-Mate series has now been discontinued. It was a limited time offer :/ don't know if he meant indefinately or just on the weekender contract.

Well now it appears the best phone I can get is the HTC touch which is still not too shabby and comparable spec wize to the I-Mate I was looking at.

Only downside is there is a pay in of around 800 bucks, but this is ok for me as soon as pay day arrives,

Well it will have to be the HTC touch then somebody pls stop me if you know any better

I personally dont like HTC's. I had the tytnII but it is too big and not user friendly.
I retired the tytn and got a E51 and never looked back!

Have a look at the HTC Polaris as well - very nice phone, though I don't know what it costs

Well the best phone I eventually found for the weekender contract is the Sony Ericsson p1i. Quite a nice phone IMO and I have no issues with it so far

Jonny maybe you should see how much you spend a month on ur weekend contract & upgrade it. I found it was very expensive to use a weekender contract - always paid way too much so I moved to a talk package (240) and saved a lot and got a better phone. Weekender ratea are similar to prepaid. You get screwed real good when u make peak calls.
