Sound Problem With The K-Jam?

I don't know if this is unique to my device or if anyone else has seen this Sometimes the sound on my K-Jam stops working. Turning the sound off and back on via the sound icon on the start bar doesn't fix it. So far, I have found two sure-fire fixes. A soft reset always fixes it, which may suggest hardware since everything is reinitialized when it boots. However, I tripped up on another fix. I call the K-Jam from another phone. It doesn't ring of course, but does show the pop-up and vibrates. I have my phone set to ring and vibrate all of the time. I hang up the calling phone before voice mail picks up. Now the "missed call" alert sounds. That's right, sounds. Whatever happens when that is triggered fixes the problem, which suggests this is a software issue, and why I thought some of you might be experiencing it too.

Enable ClearType When In Landscape Mode

Darius has written a quick post at Pocket PC Thoughts that shows how to enable ClearType in non-native modes. For example, the K-Jam pretty much lives in portrait mode so that seems to be the way ClearType works best. When in landscape mode, CT is disabled by default. The iMate JasJar would be exactly opposite since it lives in landscape mode most of the time.

I have applied this to my K-Jam and it looks pretty good when you have the keyboard extended and the screen is sideways. Makes the email experience that much better.
