Hi I live in the United Staes. I am now presented with an opportunity to be able to buy the O2 Exec. So basically I have 2 choices, the Imate Jasjar which is available here, thus with warranty coverage, or the O2 XDA Exec which I really want for its color. I don't really know if there is a hardware difference. I want to buy the O2 Exec from one of the members here. He was kind enough to offer the responsibility to send it to O2 if there is a problem with it later.
Does the I-Mate Jasjar have the corporate settings too?
So if you guys were me, what would you guys go for?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
Having owned both a JJ and Exec I would, at this point, recommend the Exec because:
- in Corporate mode it is quicker and has more storage space
- it does not appear to have the SMS notification bug
And like you I prefer the all black colour of the XDA.
Also in the UK you can get an unlocked Exec for less than £300 while a JJ can be £540/£640 (contract/SIM free).
The hardware is identical, and the corporate settings on the Exec closely resemble the Jasjar install when you skip the customization after a hard reset. In all honesty, I ended up buying the Exec, it looks way cooler, it also has BLUE keyboard backlight instead of red, which makes it much much better visible at night.
@Jah. Could you kindly elaborate what the SMS notification bug is. I am asking this because for me on the JJ ocasionally when a new SMS arrives it causes my phone to freeze. Just wondering if this is what you are referring to as the bug.
Kind Regards

Unfortunate for me that I don't know anyone in the UK. I'll be buying the Unopened Box O2 Exec for £500.
That is what I paid as well, and not too bad in comparison with Jasjar and Qtek 9000 prices.

Did you bought it direct from O2 or from one of the members here?
Any tips as to check the validity of the sale?
I already asked the seller to send me pictures of the SEALED box. Is there actually a seal or it is just in a box?
@srmz
Yes, that is it. Search here there a whole thread on the SMS problem
@cktlcmd
This is probably something you already considered and checked, but I thought I'd bring it up just in case. My main concern would be the question of whether it's locked or unlocked. For £500 I would imagine it should be unlocked. Which carrier will you be using?

From what I know, all O2 Exec are unlocked. I will be using Cingulair in New Jersey. Do you also have a universal? If yes, how is the reception? Any comments? Thanks for responding.

Yes, I have a Jasjar and use T-Mobile. I'm not a big user on the voice side of things and haven't had any problems with reception, but my limited use of that aspect might not make me the best source for an opinion.
I do use the data connection often (which is why I like T-Mobile's $19.99 unlimited data) and haven't had any problem getting a signal that way.
Ultimately I'm really happy with it because it's just the device I've been wanting. I use it for just about everything.
OK, I just bought the BRAND NEW, UNOPENED, O2 XDA Exec. I can't wait for it to be on my hands. Any tips as to a good screen protector, and where to buy it from? A link would be really appreciated.
Would you mind sharing where & how much for the unit? I am interested in getting one to be used in CA on T-Mo. Thanks.

I bought it from one of the members here for 550 UK including shipping and handling via FEDEX to New Jersey.
Basically, I just waited and watch this site for most of my free time. I just grabbed it when it presented itself. :wink:
Thanks for the info, I think I'll wait till next week & get the Qtek version locally, just don;t care the colour of the iMate version.....

I bought my screen protectors from PPC Techs at http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~unit~iMATE_JASJAR-496~area~home.htm
Their WriteSHIELDS come in two flavors, the C2 (Crystal Clear) and the AG (Anti Glare.) I've used both and found they are both very good. I have a crystal one on my old Dell and have never had to change it. To me, the crystal one is so clear that you really don't know it's there. That said, I have the anti glare one for my Universal, primarily because of the phone aspect. The anti glare version (which also stands up to usage very well) is also good with keeping fingerprints to a minimum so it works better when you have it up to your face too. PPC Techs offers a package where you can get one of each and that's actually what I bought for the Universal, I'm just using the AG currently.

I bought my Jasjar from Convergent Technology at http://www.convergentech.com/
Their price looks to be $1079.99, down from $1199.99 when I bought it. The color (colour )was never an issue for me, so I went with a company I had already worked with to give me a bit more confidence that any issues I might have (which I haven't, fortunately) would be worked out with a minimum of headaches.
kelford, thanks for the info, the vendor you used is fairly pricey, e.g. their price on the K-Jam is nealry $150 over what MMB charges! I had to do a double take to make sure they are not posting C$

sclui56, that very well could be. at the time i was looking to buy though, every vendor i found (except ebay) had the JJs for $1,200 so there didn't seem much of a choice at the time. that was when it was first out though, (some sites still listed pre-order status when this vendor had them in stock) and prices hadn't started falling yet. obviously their prices drop much slower than everyone else's! they must have less gravity or something.
in any event, there were two reasons i bought from them. 1) all of my previous PDA purchases had been direct through Dell so this one was a little different and being such a high ticket item there was a real trust concern. going with someone i knew was important. 2) (and probably even more importantly) i wanted it now!!! so yes, i could have waited and saved some money, but now i've had all this time to play with the JJ!

You gave me a great Idea !! I sold my uni and bought an ameo it should be arriving tomorrow
The Ameo is even bigger than the Universal, but enjoy it anyway cos the magnetic base is gonna be a fun feature!
Hey all,
I'm selling my O2 XDAii to finance an upgrade - you know how it is!
Since it's running a cooked ROM I figured I'd offer it to the community here first before doing the eBay thang...
Anyway, it's an Australian-spec O2 XDAii with original box, manual, USB cradle, accessories, leather pouch, headset, travel charger, etc.
[size=+1]This O2 is already upgraded to WM5 for your geeky pleasure![/size]
(Chandra's 3.50c.40CS at the moment)
In addition it comes with:
Targus IR foldaway keyboard (will sell this separately if anyone wants it)
Spare original battery (indispensable when traveling!)
Car cradle with integrated charger
Another car cradle custom-made from an aluminium hard shell (looks great, very proud of this mod )
Brand new unused silicon skin case (I didn't like it but you may)
2 x 1GB plus 1 x 512MB SD cards (2.5GB in total)
10 spare Belkin screen protectors
Sprite Backup (licensed)
Spare stylus
This XDA is in great condition. The screen and outer shell were completely replaced about 18 months ago after an incident with a softball - so now it's looking newer than before and works perfectly.
If you're in Melbourne you're welcome to come & take a look. Elsewhere, I'm happy to take whatever pics/vids you want to be happy before buying.
I'll charge shipping at whatever it costs me to ship - happy to ship anywhere in the world. Your call on shipping insurance.
Oh, it's unlocked of course!
Anyone who's interested please PM me.
Cheers,
Jessica
OK you lurkers it's on eBay now (minus the Targus keyboard which I'll list separately).

Gah! eBay is getting unusable - twice "bought" by Nigerian scammers, now "bought" by an idiot who can't pay.
Does no-one want a WM5 XDAII going cheap? PM me.
Cheers,
Jessica

How much are you asking for?
i am also intrested in it...i live in the Middle east
more details shall be better!!
HI, Can you provide some details regarding physical condition of the phone.. what are you asking for it??
I also have a Blue Angel available for sale in the UK, but was not sure of the appropriate place to post it. I have the SX66 model which is in excellent condition. This model does not have a camera. It was my spare phone that I used only when traveling. Since rarely used, the stylus does not fall out. It always had a screen protector on it. Since I never use the keyboard, it does not have those sliding marks. I have recently upgraded it to WM6.1. I am selling it because my collection of HTC phones has grown to large. Though, I will really miss the huge bright screen. In addition, I have many extras which I will include.
Hi...i got blueangel for selling too its perfect condition all time with screen protectors too batery like is like first time when i use it too,keyb is perfect too and its sliver coulor...reason is im selling cos i got Flame from my brother...
for more info u can write me directly
salute
ps. got 2gb and im living in macedonia
For $125:
1. I-mate Jasjar - G3 device w/Jwright rom
2. Docking station (usb and a/c charger)
3. 2gb SD card – Sandisk Ultra II
For additional $100:
1. BT Stereo Headphones ( http://www.bluetake.com/Products/BT450Rx.htm)
2. BT Caller-Id Headset (http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Jabra/NA-US/products/Pages/JabraBT800.aspx)
JJ works great and willing to show livecam of it or might put video of it on youtube soon. There are minor scratches which are cosmetic only. Also, I cracked the screen a couple of months ago and had it professionally replaced by PPC techs for around $200 in itself, so screen is literally brand new. However, there is a very small cosmetic crack on bottom of the screen FRAME and not the screen. It is very minimal and does not affect screen rotating or screen dispaly in any way. It is just cosmetic. Email me if interested.
waiting on you to give me a reply back in my email i'm interested in buying lets set it up okay.....and if you got pics that would be great my email is [email protected]
i m interested too.Email me on [email protected]
I have broken JasJar also - who is PPC?
My USB port pulled out. Do you have somebody who will solder it back in or repair USB port? Here in Memphis, Tn. USA I would have a better chance of finding a polar bear! [email protected]
HI buddy!

Do you want to send this to India ...and would you bear shipping costs? PM if interested. I might even bear the cost if its not too much Alternatively if you are based in USA or shipping to my USA address is cheaper (New Jersey) we could do that
Regards
Your JasJar for Sale - I am interested
It sounds like a awful lot of people are wanting to buy your JasJar! Count me in also! I wonder if the JasJar is going extinct because they seem to be harder to find and less support? I love mine, and have not found anything else that seriously competes with the JasJar or other renamed equals. Hugh
