What gearbox should my Jazz have?

Hi. I am going to buy an automatic Honda Jazz and I have been advised to avoid i-shift.
Could you please tell me whether "2008-9 Honda Jazz i-dsi (se) 5-dr (cvt-7)" is i-shift?

Your answer will be an extreme help as I have to buy very quick.

Unless it was late registered, this is wrongly described. A 2007 Honda Jazz 1.4 i-dsi SE CVT-7 would have the CVT-7 continuoulsly variable transmission. Interestingly, the last year's imports of Mk 1 Jazz were built in China. A 2008/2009 Honda Jazz 1.4 i-VTEC SE auto would have the i-shift. See:
