I think the wizard is better for size reasons mostly. But what was I-mate thinking with JasJar? Does the name have a meaning? Is K-Jam confirmed as a name too?

@Pallister, I'm sure in the same way that the jam was available in Scandinavia from more companies that just qtek, the wizard and universal will also be available in i-mate, o2, orange etc variants
The Qtek versions you mention is also listed to be available in UK along with the i-mate, o2 and orange versions. I haven't yet heard about the the t-mobile names for these
I guess it just comes down to whether you want branding (i.e on contract) or not and I always prefer not

well, expansys seems to have had this one "available in 7 days" for a few days now!
having found a few things on the JasJar that I must have missed when I read the specs I have now looked closer at the k-jam specs and I notice it uses mini-SD... arrgghh! why would they do that? I have a couple of 2gb SD cards and I dno't think you can even get 2gb in mini-SD format. The JAM took standard size SD so why give this one mini-SD?
I'm still a little concerned at the TI OMAP 850 processor only being 200mhz compared with the JAMs Intel Bulverde 416MHz and the JasJar's Intel Bulverde 520MHz as it seems a little slow and I can't really find anything to compare the Intel and TI processors performance wise as the differentarchitecture of the processor might mean that 200mhz isn't all that bad.
anyone got any info on that? all I have found is
this

ok, I now have both in my hot little hands and I'm still completely and utterly undecided... this is gonna be a long weekend!
I'm a little dissapointed that I had not noticed that the numeric row shares the top row of the alpha keyboard, i.e. the digits are placed as shift keys above the qwertyuiop
the stylus is interesting and caught me by surprise when I pulled it out of the k-jam. it was short and stubby compared to the stylus of the jasjar
but then I realised they wouldn't do that so I pulled it from each end and sure enough it is telescopic

I've actually made my mind this week after actual usage of both devices in a kind of parallel test.
while the JasJar is the one I really would like to keep, the k-jam is the winner of my requirements.
The 3g in the JasJar was a good feature but I have found that vodafone availability of 3g on my usual daily routes is weak and unreliable and using the GPRS on the k-jam next to the 3g on the JasJar for doing simple email, html light on esato and other simple activities shows very little difference at all. 3G might be better and faster for larger volumes of data but for web browsing I am happy with the k-jam performance. Also, I never do video calling.
The JasJar keyboard is far superior to that of the k-jam but I have rarely used a keyboard on such a device. I did try Compaqs offering for the ipaqs but never wanted to carry them around with me so always sold them off. However, I noted all my use of the keyboard on both devices and found that it was around 20% of my total time using the devices.
Finally, I have always had a dislike of larger devices as I firmly believe that we must be comfortable carrying the devices we use in most of our daily situations. I did try very hard to live with the JasJar but found there were many situations where it was just getting in the way as its not the kind of device you can easily hang on your belt.
So, despite my overall preference being for the JasJar, the k-jam wins because it provides almost most that the JasJar offers but in a much more convenient package allowing me to use it in many more situations and also discreetly.

@Masseur, any idea what the squared off version of the K-Jam is called - its still an HTC Wizard - but the edges of the device is sqaured and silver case. Any idea what brand name it'll be offered under?
