I know this is a bit early, but does anyone have any news about this device?

I can't get any reviews even though it's already out in some places, like Germany.
I was going to go for the HTC Wizard AKA iMate KJam but the device suffers from a slow cpu and whereas the TyTN has 3G and Edge in one device, the Wizard only has Edge. :D
It makes a huge difference to someone who lives in a place that Telkom sees as not viable for DSL and MTN has not implimented 3G.

Any MTN reps that can shed some light (on news of the divice)?
I don't mind spending the money cause going back to a Symbian device would be suicide (no offence to those using one).

Have a look here.

As far as I know this Jasjam should have HSDPA as well.

3G is fine but what about Edge. HTC's TyTN has EDGE and 3G in one device.
Is iMate gonna supply a watered down version?

Yes, Yes. It's all probably to soon to ask, but I'm excited because it will not be long before everyone else gets the same features in their cellies.

So what's with the cpu's.
300mHz or 400 mHz :confused:

Rumors are that the sp's will "underclock" the device to extend battery life?
Does that mean that iMate will do the same thing for MTN?
(Stupid question right, cause were gonna push it back up to 400)

Thanks guys for all the info. :)

Now if some brave soul can actually do some snooping for us and get an approximate date of the African / South african launch of this baby. :D
(Please don't say the end of the year. It's just torture to wait so long.)

Cheers.

Rumour has it: HTC TyTN branded device in SA in August.
 
So looking at the $900 pricetag , i assume it will retail in ZA for:

(900*7) * 1.3 = R8200 ???

[30% added on top based on taxes and other rip off import costs we get in South Africa]

Hi guys!

I have read your posts on the NEW HTC TyTN and MTeoR devices and can confirm that they are available and in stock with Smart Devices Ltd http://www.smartdevicesdirect.com . They have received the first batch of TyTN stock and currently shipping and should receive the MTeoR stock in the next 3-4 days.

Best regards

Good day,

I've escalated your query to MTNHandsets and Midrand warehouse and will advise ASAP

I can't wait for the Tytn to become available so I can get rid of my Nokia 9500.

How bad would it really be to import the phone directly from overseas? Besides the phone being a grey import and possible warranty void? Cost would be round R6500 I reckon?

I just called Leaf and they receiving their test unit of the JasJam in a week and it should be available in 2 months. The estimated cost price would be round R8000.
I'm not sure I can wait that long :)

Guess we'll wait and see. Luckily my uncle is coming from America at the end of the month and I'm getting the HTC TyTn shipped to him which'll cost me
R5700.

I just hope you don't pick up any problems along the line with your i-mate. If it's not bought here no-one will look at it.:(
 
I know i'm taking the risk. But my options right now since my Nokia is practically useless is either another 9500 or K-Jam. The phone cost me R5500, just placed the order, so now i'm playing the waiting game.
