Samsung Jet mobile phone - First Look review

Comments

• I think you may have missed the point in your review - you may not like samsungs UI but it is built OVER windows 6.1. your idea that it is all well and good making a ui from the ground up but it looks like all the others demonstrates your lack of understanding. There is bucket-loads of software that will run on this phone - its a winmo phone!
  
  It's specs say it is head and shoulders better than the iPhone, but thats not difficult really. It is faster and has more screen size than the N97 and micro SD cards will hold enough data that you don't need to carry about what is by todays standards a house-brick (the N97).
  
  Some serious re-writing of this article and its findings is a must! I note that usually when someone reviews something on this site, they put their name to it. I can fully understand why someone would be shy to publicize themselves in association with this misguided article!
  
  Does anyone know what Samsung will do once winmo 6.5 comes out? Posted by Tony Hedges, United Kingdom
• Do you have a source that states that it's Windows Mobile 6.1? Samsung told us at the launch event that this was a completely proprietary OS, not just a UI.
  
  Also, my name's clear at the top of the piece, just under the headline :)

• My apologies, I have gone back and re-read websites, and Samsungs own website mentions 'Native OS'. If you, like me, assume that with the spec's they are throwing about, that it was a winmo machine, then it would be a heck of a bit of kit, but I am glad I have realised this is not the case!

• it seems so silly to buy some sleek phone with all the one's that are on the horizon Posted by daniel, us
• does anybody know how the jet holds up against lgs viewty smart, I'm not a huge texter and take phots to have handy on the phone, want to be able to see the screen outside as yet dont go on line, but gprs sounds useful. Quite liked the idea of writing on the screen texting. really stuck between the two help! Posted by Lesley, United Kingdom
• Research research and research..... This phone cant be Win-mo 6. Infact, it uses SAMSUNG blended OS -called "Dolphin OS" with widget UI styling. The strength that most of the touchies couldn't jump over is the champion hardware spec.

• Why have they marketed this so soon after the i8910. The i8910 rocks, has wicked display, uses decent OS and the latest firmwares that are appearing with 3d task manager etc eat it for dust.
  
  Im pretty sure the i8910 has a dual core process clocking around the 600mhz mark two which means its hardly sluggish.
  
  Just seems strange to release such a cool phone, only to try and replace it with a poorer flagship device Posted by Steve, UK
• AMOLED screen is excellent. This phone does include a 3.5mm jack but does not have options or software available to search the music files in music player, the cookie kp500 does this but does not have a 3.5mm headphone socket, I am not very happy with samsung and I have not found any 3rd party software to do this.
  
  This phone does not make a good MP3 player! Posted by tommy, london
