My JAMin is slowly dying

[Guest nickcornaglia]

The JAMin is a great device. Small, sleek and full of pep. Sure, everyone is waiting for the next Firmware Upgrade....but there are soooo many tweaks to make it a fast and functional phone right now.

That said...with all of the playing and tweaking and installing and uninstalling I do...I believe this phone had to be hard reset at least 5 times in my quest to make it perfect. All of it was not the phone...some of it was software issues. But nothing everyone else is not using. And the tweaks I add to the registry are nothing anyone else isn't doing.

My SP5m Smartphone has been the most stable device I have ever used to date....it never crashed once. I cant say the same for ANY PocketPC I have ever used. They are much more "fragile" than the smartphone.

Today I find I have a new problem. About a thumbprint sided area in the middle of my screen lost all touch sensitivity. I can confirm this by opening a note and taping dots all over the screen. I can not make ANY dots in the center area mentioned above.

Is there any way to fix this? I take pretty good care of my phones. There is no reason why this should have happened as far as I know, such as physizal damage of any kind.

THIS SUCKS! The phone luckily is very usable without a stylus but there is the one or two times you need to tap the center of the screen that really pisses me off when I can't. Like when I was setting the days on the second alarm....I cant tap friday and saturday unless I put the screen in landscape mode. There is no way to do that stylus-free.

Plus I like sketching little things here and there on my phone. That's out of the question now I guess.

Worse yet...my resale value has gone down considerably unless I get the screen replaced which is still a loss.

In short...love the phone. Hate the work needed to use it properly compared to a smartphone.

Not really fair to mark down the platform as a whole (or indeed the device itself) because your unit happened to fail. Especially given it's still within the warranty. You'll hopefully be able to get it fixed free of charge won't you?
