The i-mate JAQ3 looks similar to the large number of QWERTY smartphones currently on the market, but this device is a touch screen Pocket PC with all the functionality and power you expect to find in a device like this.
The JAQ3 comes in a compact retail package.

The bottom section of the box reveals the JAQ3, charger, USB cable, and headset.
The battery is a generous 1250 mAh model.
It is long, but still light enough to be pocketable.
The keyboard is well designed and functional.
The keyboard has a white backlight with the alternative keys lit as well.
The right side has the miniUSB, headset jack, and power button.
The scroll wheel, OK button, and camera button can be found here.
Yes, we finally have a scroll wheel on a Pocket PC.
The JAQ3 is longer than the Dash, but just about the same thickness.
As you can see they are about the same thickness.
You can backup your device to an i-mate server for a monthly fee.
A Java client and voice command software are included.
You have 128MB ROM and 64MB RAM, but much less available for actual use.
Unlike most Phone Edition devices, you can manage your profiles on the JAQ3.
