i-mate will offer an unlocked rebadge of the HTC Hermes PDA phone

Engadget reports that i-mate will be rebadging the HTC Hermes as the i-mate Jas Jam smartphone. The smartphone will run Windows Mobile 5.0 on a 300 MHz processor which is most likely a Texas Instruments OMAP850. As far as wireless support goes the Jas Jam will support GSM, GPRS, UMTS, HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.0 and 802.11b/g. Additionally it has a 2.1MP camera with 64 MB of ram for storage and 128 MB of ROM.

Availability and pricing of the Jas Jam is unknown at the moment but phone carriers are expected to have similar HTC Hermes rebadged models this summer in Europe. There’s no word on whether US cell phone companies such as T-Mobile and Cingular will offer the HTC Hermes as a replacement for the current HTC Wizard or not.

The quest for the ultimate mobile phone continues...

That phone is neat...It has better specs than my first modern computer, a Pentium 200mmx with 32mb of mem. I hope in 10 years Ill have a phone with a 2.3ghz proc and 2gb of ram with SLI. (phones are gonna get ultra ridiculous from now on folks..)

Phone screens are still a little too small for proper "Computer" functionality (aka word processing, movie’s, proper web browsing).

Hopefully someone will invent those holographic interface's a-la Final Fantasy movie. Then we could really be on the move for mobile computing.


The processor is not an Omap 850

Last I heard this model was no longer using the 300Mhz processor (which I don't think was an Omap 850 originally either) and is now going to use the Samsung ARM 400Mhz. AT least that's what the specs from O2 are showing who are initially going to be selling it as the XDA Trion in Germany.
