i've had this phone for about a week now. the more i use it the more i love this phone! it has a VERY fast 800mhz processor. one of the fastest touch screens on the market. And a gorgeous AMOLED screen. having used nokia phones for many years the samsung is not quite as intuitive but once you learn it, it is a joy to use. my only complaint is the New PC Studio software, it's virtually useless. Samsung should look at Nokia's OVI software, it is far more useful.





Very fast processor. large fonts very easy to read. gorgeous screen! Fair price for the features.
the pc software needs much improvement. and i wish it had a stylus insert in the housing. dunno why they didn't include that.

Samsung Jet... a decent phone.

I just bought the samsung jet couple of days ago after thinking about buying it for a while.

My main reason for buying it was because it just felt like good in my hand, had a 5MP camera, had a touchscreen and becasue of how slim it was compared to any other phone of its kind.



First of all i really like it. Its easy to use, no problems with touchscreen and everything feels intuitive.

After reading a few reviews i have to agree that yes its not a competitor for any of the top smartphones but i never bought it because the slogan said 'smarter than smartphone'.

As far as people comparing it to the iphone would say, it doesnt have threaded sms and lacks application etc etc but i wasnt wanting to shell out the money. plus the iphone has poor camera functionality (only 3MP which is pretty poor considering i used to have a sony ericson K900 with a better camera) When the day comes when apple make an iphone with a decent camera i will probably get one but for now i dont rate them. One of my friends has one and yes they are very smart but he pays £55 a month for it which i think it ridiculous! Being a college student i would not pay this much a month for a phone, and for now you cant buy it on PAYG. But moving on i am here to review the jet...



The internet browsing is pretty good although since there are only a few applications for websites you have to enter sites manually which is a bit of a drag but to be perfectly honest i dont use internet on a phone that often. Micro-

browsers to me aren't brilliant... A laptop is your best bet for surfing the web! But for sites like facebook if you are a regular user and watching videos etc the internet is generally good. Wi-fi is very good aswell.



Moving on there many great features on the jet. The camera has alot of features and is brilliant quality! If you have a lot of nights out like myself this is brialliant for caputuring all those memorbale events! Also the music player is good quality. (I dont really like the headphones which come with this phone as they have a short cable and dont stick in your ears very well) But again i didnt buy a phone to use it as a music player, its just good to be able to play songs from it when you are on the go.



Lastly i will just mention some other things about the phone. It has all the things you need if you are moderate-regular user of your phone. Its fun to use. I think once you go to touch you will never go back! The battery life is also very good. It has the tumbling dice app the iphone uses which i thought was funny and it has a bright flashlight. Also there is a dynamic canvas which lets you draw things on screen (would of been handy if stylis pen came with it though!) One thing which baffles me is the fact there is a camera on the front of the phone which cant really be used to take photos with. I think its used for the likes of webcam but i dont know how to use... if there even is a way to use it? Widgets are very cool and there is an app to download new ones. I just hope samsung make an update or something where you can download new applications! But as ive already said im not a big micro internet browser fan.



If you can get past the cons then you will be very happy with this phone!
