    4 Stars Impatience Is A Virtue… So Buy This Phone Pronto! 20/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, lots of features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Disappointing camera, no GPS

    I’ve always been a fan of Samsung mobile phones, having had and liked several in the past therefore after a brief hiatus from Samsung where I owned an HTC Touch HD phone I thought it was time for a change therefore my first thought inevitably was going to be to go for a much trusted Samsung phone. After doing a lot of research into new phones on the market I was briefly interested in the Nokia 5800 Xpress phone however after having a play around with it in the shop I came to the speedy conclusion that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be and made a quick diversion back onto the internet to look ... more

    2 Stars Looks The Part, But You Won't Respect It In The morning 27/09/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Great camera and media centre

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Diabolical GPS, Text, and use of internet due to sensitivity, and like a Mogwi never get it damp.

    The thing about technology reviews is that everyone wants them now (or at the time the product comes out) rather than 4 or 5 months down the road. The trouble being is that with my last 3 or 4 phones in the first few months I loved them like I would a newborn child, and a few weeks later wanted to find the design team and anally torture them with my once prized possession. All those reviews I had written about those wonderful phones, and all the people that stumbled on my reviews and bought what is essentially best served as a weapon; after my last review I really felt guilty so opted to wait ... more

    5 Stars Buy the Samsung Jet - It's awesome Review with images 10/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages 5mp camera, superfast, great touchscreen, aesthetics and functionality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No GPS (but does have google maps) and microSD slot is under back cover

    SAMSUNG JET INTRO I am fan of Samsungs. I have had several Nokias in the past but I've found they tend to be lacking in terms of functionality and features. I used to have the Samsung d900 and now I have the Jet and from playing around with other people's phone, I've discovered that Samsungs are layered; for those who want a simple phone, they work very well, however for those who want a phone with a little extra, it can cope with your needs. THE COST The Smasung Jet is, considering, the features you get, an extremely good price. On Carphone Warehouse's website it costs just £179.95 ... more

    4 Stars Samsung Jet: a reasonable alternative to the smartphones 22/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Attractive, powerful processor, sensitive touchscreen, and a number of useful applications

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A few issues with the software

    I have now owned the samsung jet for over 6 months and have generally been impressed. The samsung jet is not a smart phone, but looks very stylish and does have a number of useful functions. Appearance: Samsung are generally vey good at producing fashionable phones, with the slide phones D500, D900 and G600 all being extremely desirable for their time. The samsung jet is no different. The phone is wonderfully curved, appropriately thin and is designed well to maximize the screen. The hexagonal central button adds a nice touch (though has little function!). Functions: The phone, though not a ... more

    5 Stars Samsung Jet 28/04/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages easy to use, stylish phone

    Disadvantages Disadvantages nothing

    I have owned a Samsung Jet now for 9 months, it came free from Orange as part of my regular 18 month contact upgrade. I have owned Samsung phones for approximately 8 years now and have always been pretty happy with them. When it came to choosing my new phone I knew exactly what I wanted, something fairly small and more feminine, easy to use, stylish, touch screen and either pink or black. The Samsung Jet fitted my needs exactly, its much smaller and lighter than many phones on the market nowadays but still ultra stylish. The touch screen is amazing, very fast and accurate I can even use my ... more

    4 Stars The Screen is a bit of an Issue! 16/05/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A Great Modern Phone with Rich Features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages My Screen is Bleeding :(

    I'm stuck with this phone for 2 years after taking out a contract but that's not such a bad thing. Je t'aime mon mobile phone. It's a decent product and it performs all the tasks I need it to and some that I don't. The Jet is marketed to be for those who need speed in their lives with no time for app shopping and generally stopping. This is a good thing because there is little to customise on the jet that's necessary to it's functions. If you do want to customise then there's always the option to make it your own with three home screens with customisable widget layouts and wallpapers. All the ... more

    3 Stars Owned this phone for 18 months, time to share my thoughts I think Review with images 08/10/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic screen colour range, good camera.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor battery life, some buttons not working after long period of time.

    I bought this phone on Vodafone contract 18 months ago, with high expectations and a lot of anticipation. I feel I probably have more experience with this phone than others who have had it for 2 weeks and decide to do a review. To start with it is an excellent phone. The camera quality didn't leave me wanting and the fantastic colours and vibrancy of the screen was what attracted me in the first place. The shiny, but rather plastic-y feel of the phones does detract, I feel, from its overall appearance however this is still a very attractive phone. The durability of this phone is in the balance ... more

    2 Stars Very disappointed and such a frustrating phone 12/11/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages stylish and lots of good features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages annoying flicking to qwerty keyboard when typing at slightest movement

    I was really looking forward to using this phone but I have found this really frustrating. If you like texting like I do it probably isnt the phone for you. It flicks between texting up right to the sidewards qwerty keyboard with the slightest movement and if you do not have a stylelet it is very difficult to hit the right key so it is difficult to use on the move and soooo frustrating. On the plus side it is a very stylish phone with lots of intresting and useful functions and has a really good music function and good sound quality. The battery does not seem to last very long which is very ... more

    4 Stars Decent phone. Does the job. 01/11/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Touch screen interface is as good as the best out there.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Takes a few seconds to hook onto home WiFi

    I own a few smart phones already. So when family decided to gift a phone to my neice as a combined birthday present, the search was handed over to me. I was given a budget of £200 and had to get one under that. Having looked around a lot, the Samsung Jet caught my eye. It had great features and fit the budget well. It does most of the things that the smart phones of the day do (I already own an iPhone and a N97). The camera is pretty good. At 5MP it has a lot more mega pixels than the iPhone camera. The picture quality is good but not brilliant. The inbuilt GPS with google maps works well ... more

    4 Stars Great Phone but way too over priced 15/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks great and has a good battery time.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not good value for money

    Don't get me wrong the samsung jet is a fantastic phone and after dropping my first one in the bath I still went back and bought a second, but is the large price tag really appropriate for a phone thats good but not amazing? The main features of the phone are the touch screen and the fast internet connection. However the 3G is quite poor and the best connection is recieved when i connect through my own wi fi. However the phone has a quick sensor touch screen and great memory and sound so i would still recomend it as a great phone. It has a sleek appearance and is not easily scratched or dented ... more
