SoloPalmari posted the first part of their review of the JasJar i-mate, also better known as the HTC Universal.

It's difficult to properly place the JasJar, alias HTC Universal, in the PDA scene: it's more than a simple PDA Phone, partly down to its larger than normal dimensions, but mainly because it comes with a UMTS data transmission module, Videocall and Voice Over IP capabilities. It's less than a sub-notebook (i-Mate refers to it as a 'mini laptop') both in size and because it can't run common desktop-based applications - yet it can still easily cope with all the typical functions that you would expect from a notebook.
