| The Jama 201: not iPhone slim, but very slim nonetheless. |
It's certainly an improvement on the i-mate Ultimate 8502 which has every feature under the sun, including fast 3G download speeds for email and Web, but lacks a reasonably sized keyboard.

| The Jama 201 keyboard, more finger-friendly than the Ultimate 8502 (well, by incredibly tiny smartphone standards) |
The 201 is both lighter and more compact than the i-mate 8502 and features a wider screen for native horizontal pictures without having to twist the phone around like the 8502.

It's also much skinnier than the rather clunky 8502, as you can see from the picture. There's no 3G, no WiFi, but you do get a 2Megapixel camera, Bluetooth and Windows Mobile for $489.
