thinking about getting HTC wizard..
ok let me start by saying i know that cingular is coming out with their own htc wizard variant, but just out of curiousity...
i know absolutely nothing about how service providers work, and the whole edge vs evto or whatever... confuses me.
anyhow, i am looking at the i-mate k-jam, and wondering if it would work with cingular?? would i have to get an unlocked one, are they more expensive? if k-jam doesn't work, are there any htc wizards that will?
thanks,
max

Re: thinking about getting HTC wizard..
Yes, the K-JAM should work on Cingular. I think that iMate only sells unlocked devices. Yes, they're much more expensive.

I have been using my brand new K-JAM for 5 days now and I am very happy with it. I bought it for AU$1120, which is about US$780, unlocked without a contract I highly recommend it to anyone.
As a matter of fact, I am posting this off my Wizard using WiFi!!

HTC WIZARD
QTEK vs. Imate version??
Major pluses of this over PDA2K? Any accessories from SX66 that would work?? Headset input jack?
Thanks for your input.

I have to agree with the others above.
I too have had my K-JAM for about 5 days; it's fantastic. I had a HP3850 years ago and it was a pain. I waited along time before deciding to put that much money into another PDA. I'm glad I waited but I'm glad I bought another one. The K-JAM is stunning.
Yes, it is unlocked. I payed about £450.
I was talking to a friend in China this morning whilst I lay in my bed in the UK using Skype over WiFi on my K-JAM.

audible player and windows mobile 5
Has anyone downloaded audible on their K-JAM and have it working. They only had windows mobile 2003 as compatible.
Thanks

I might try audible, although I use my iPod for that.
Still going strong with the K-JAM with no regrets. Posting this from it over GPRS actually.
I too have used Skype on my K-JAM, and it worked fine. Its the v1.2 beta available in the skype forums, not the one included in ROM. Only wish the audio came out of the phone speaker, instead of the load speakers. Have speakerphone as an option, not the only way.

I've been a GSM user and proponent for 7 years. I just switched to Sprint.
EV-DO kicks EDGE's butt easily for speed, latency, and stability. And it actually costs less. We pay $25 for unlimited EV-DO (800k/second) on Sprint for the first line, and $12.50 for the second. On T-Mobile we were paying $20 each for unlimited EDGE which is only 140k/second. You do the math. Cingular is even more expensive, and then you have to deal with Cingular's legendary horrible customer service (D-rated by JD Powers).

Can you tether your device to a Bluetooth-equiped laptop? Does Sprint allow this in the plan you pay for?

Yes, I use it with my PowerBook as an EV-DO modem over Bluetooth all the time. It can be done with Windows laptops too, just takes a little more effort (I know it's detailed on pdaphonehome.com, might be here too).
Sprint doesn't officially allow modem use on the standard plans, but has no interest in charging you more for it (I made it clear what I was doing and asked what I should get, twice). I think they'll just use the "reasonable use" standard. I know that several people have used a bit over 100MB/mo and had no issues.
