It's never been about comparable feature sets with the P-series, otherwise, any Nokia s60 would win any features contest hands down!.
It's always been about the accessibility of these features.
It's HOW you do it that matters: Jog-Dial!

Finding it difficault to get used to, as in no jog dial which is a pain. Its also a bit slow. For features though, its cool, especially the Wifi.
i though the windows media player was dead slow, but other than that, yes its cool, but whats is the use if the media functions are slow it should be fast like a ferrari, anyways thats my opinion.

I too have had all the P series, bought the Treo a few months ago (which I loved, best one handed device around....never pulled out the stylist)....i was debating about waiting for the P990 or getting the k-Jam....i bought the K-Jam 10 days ago, and to be honest, I love it...sure I miss some of the SE stuff that only SE can do well, but the keyboard, size and battery life is perfect...my P910i use to crash every so often as did my treo....the K-Jam has not crashed at all, syncing with outlook worked first time, although now I am using an exchange server, which is just amazing!....
I dont find the K-Jam slow at all either, I think you just have to make sure you install the correct software on it, I am sure some software with cause memory leakage or crashes, but so far, i have to say I am fully impressed with the K-Jam (this is also coming from a Mac lover!)

Just a thought...on how you'd like to use it. id like to have a phone first then the pda second...i've seen that on the Pseries after owning the P800 and P900, then i tried the windows os based imate jam. i was having a hard time of getting used to it, though it worked out; however i missed the keypad for normal call or sms messaging and i experienced more crashes than the Pseries. the imate for me is a pda first then a phone second. i went back to
and got the P910i. now after selling the P910i for almost 4 months, i miss the touchscreen symbian os and will be getting the P990i when released

The K-jam is really slow & my mini was any day faster no doubt about that ! I think its WM5 which is laggy & 128 Ram is a must...
I would love to see WM5 on a SE

Man i was waiting to get the i-mate JAMin hoping that it will replace my i-mate k-jam, but just found out it has the same processor speed as the i-mate k-jam, so its no good in using it as a multimedia device department, man why are htc going backwards, this is redicolouse. it has everythink that the i-mate jam should of had but they just had to mess around with the CPU bit.

Hi all
Yep can agree with some of what has been said previously.
Had a p800 and a p910 the jog dial is great for dialing one handed, this proves a bit more complicated with the kjam/ xda mini s.
The xda mini s is SLOW and don't let anyone tell you different. (my humble opinion of course!!)
Setting up email on the P series never bothered but on the KJAM was real easy (well the hotmail is already there) and having MSN messenger is so cool, especially when you use it wifi and it's free!!
Kjam has more features but performance issues and the phone function becomes a bit fiddly to attempt one handed. I suppose it makes up by having a very good (and far superior) voice activated dialing. but when you have a lot a friends you got to remember loads of voice tags e.g x- mobile x work x home etc
I confess maybe i should have been patient and waited for the p990 and i'll be watching closely the reviews. However if SE had bought out wifi on the P910 instead of that keyboard thing, i wouldn't be writing this post
In summary in my eyes too little late, but feel free to ignore my opinion as it's just an opinion

Well it is slow, hoever I have prevented all the O2 crap loading by removing it from the startup folder and now the performance it much better. As for the media player, I dont use it, I use TCPMP which is freeware and plays everything, even all my smartmovie encoded videos.

Ohhh. tough one.
I am still going to get the P990 probably, just for the uiq interface, so my decision was based on what was around at the time... Im impatient. I don't regret the decision I made apart from not checking out the processor speed, although its quick enough. I can watch full films (originally encoded for my P910 and jumped at sceens) which run fluently and jump free.
As for the atom though, it doesn't have a keyboard which IMO is the only downside, other than that its top notch, but although I prefer the apps that are available for windows mobile, I still find the phone side of it very awkward.
So the question really is,
Do you want a PDA with Phone (Atom) or a Phone with PDA (P990)
