Advantages: Easy to use, lots of features Disadvantages: Disappointing camera, no GPS
...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 ... ...an advert for the new Samsung Jet popped up on my TV with the tagline ‘impatience is a virtue’, coupled with it’s sleek and stylish looks I thought that I must check it out. *** Availability ***
After looking it up on the internet I found it to be available both sim free and on contract, sim free will cost you around £299.99, yes pricey but if you can afford it then it may be a better option. I’m currently on an 02 30 day sim contract, in which ...

Advantages: Great camera and media centre Disadvantages: Diabolical GPS, Text, and use of internet due to sensitivity, and like a Mogwi never get it damp.
...moves on and for the Samsung Jet maybe time has moved on a little too quickly. PATIENCE!!! PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!!! Remember those adverts for the Samsung Jet phone? If you believed the advertising the Jet would make you totally desirable, and lead you into a hedonistic lifestyle of orgies and wild parties. Feeling a little amiss on these things I felt it was only right to invest in a Jet and watch my sexual status climb to the levels where I would ... ...us. Seriously though, my Samsung Jet was indeed sexy, and even if I was not going to get a lot of loving I felt on arrival day that my phone certainly would. The phone is a beautiful polished black, with an amazing looking screen. Its all touch sensitised so you feel like you’re on the cutting edge of phone technology. Sadly I had not learned the valuable lessons of touch sensitive phones, my previous two a Sony Erriccson and the LG Prada phone had ...

Advantages: Touch screen interface is as good as the best out there. Disadvantages: Takes a few seconds to hook onto home WiFi
...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. However you would not bet on using that while driving as it does tend to ... ...is pretty decent. Better than the N97 one, but not as good as the iPhone. Ofcourse one tends to get more out of touchscreens as one gets used to them. Plugs well into the home WiFi. However it does take a few seconds to hook onto the network. Overall a great phone. A smart phone at an affordable 'not so smart-phone price'. ...

Advantages: stylish and lots of good features 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 good sound quality. The battery does not seem to last very long which is very annoying. The camera is also a little difficult to use and again very frustarting when trying to move files about when using touch screen,
I have had the phone for 6 months and thought it may be teething problems because I was not used to the touch screen but I must say they have not got better as I have become proficient in the way the screen works and I am tempted ...

...it looks great too. the samsung jet has a remarkably amazing look. On the back of the phone is some great light reflecting red lines that catches alot of peoples attention. The jet also uses "widgets" which are easy to access hyperlinks, they are accessible from the main screen and you can drag them where ever suits you best or if you dont want them showing just stick them in the side bar :) There is one slight problem i have found with the phone, ... ...type of oil mark down the screen, at first i thought my phone was breaking. i then rang up t-mobile who told me it is a common fault with the jet and cn be fixed free of charge. if your jet does appear to have an oil looking mark on the screen do not worry! just ring up your contract dealer. The 5mp camera acts nothing like a normal 5mp camera, too me it looks like it has better quality than my casio 10mp camera! the quality is amazing and plus the ...

Advantages: small, lightweight, fast, good userbility Disadvantages: some apps are difficult, not that robust
A great alternative to the iPhone, cheaper, easy to use and has plenty of features. It has fast operating speeds and is more compact than its more famous iRival.
I do suspect that I could break the thing with a bit too much ease, but then again you're supposed to look after your property, and it has been dropped a couple of times without damage.
Some of the widgets are hard to enter, and not that easy to use. But this is only a small number from ...

Advantages: super-fast, email, interent, memory card slot, mp3 player, games, pc synchronisation, 5 megapixels Disadvantages: large 'cube' main button (doesn't look as attractive as some of samsung's previous phones)
...however this is the first samsung i have ever owned. The Samsung Jét is super-fast, with a touch-screen screen which reacts quickly to either the warmth of your hand or a cold, solid object such as your finger nail. The phone has a 5.0 megapixel camera and built in GPS navigation as well as wifi and many more orginal features. The texting feature is easy to use compared to other touch-screen phones (such as the LG cookie) and texts can be either ...

Advantages: the lock button locks the phone in the blink of an eye. Disadvantages: it takes awhile to unlock the phone.
I got the samsung jet two weeks ago and i can honestly say its the best phone i have owned. it has good camera quality, every thing is easy to get to and open. you get widgets with this phone which makes things faster to get to. you also get three desktops and can customize them with your widgets that makes it even faster to use. i was supprised at how easy the touch screen was to use, it is really easy!. the only thing with it though, is sometimes ... ...opens the widget bar and sometimes you have to tap on things again for them to open. it is a good, cool phone and simple to use. you can also find alot of information about it if you ever did need to know how to use something on the phone. ...

Advantages: Touch Screen, lots of widgets, looks good Disadvantages: Scratches easily, rubbish battery, unresponsive touch screen at times
My first touch phone, thought it was going to be pretty amazing which it was but not all its cracked up to be. Its functional and practical but not very interesting all i do it call and text of it, nothing else seems to reel me in. But it is a very good phone compared to the normal keypad phones. I was torn between this phone and the nokia n97, but i chose this phone mainly because i thought the advert so really cool. But it has nothing to do with ...

Advantages: Dropped it on the floor and once down the stairs (oops), but no scratches. Responsive screen. Disadvantages: Like most touchscreens it picks up fingerprints like crazy, but a wipe once a day solves this.
...as I have seen some Samsung phones with weak response. It is fast and has nice flowing movements. *MORE DETAIL* Something that Samsung said it could do was play back video in DVD quality. After watching Harry Potter on it (with headphones) I was resigned to the fact that Samsung were telling the truth. And nothing but. It was superb quailty, very nice indeed. It's not a dealbreaker for most but it is a pretty nice addition. The headphones are the ... ...fast, not like 'lightening' as Samsung have put around but its good. It DOES have a better processor than the iPhone and that is a fact (800MHz) but it lacks the famous App Store, as Samsung's store is still in Beta and only available in English and German. Moreover, Samsung's App Store has mainly Windows Mobile Apps rather than normal ones. I shall be the first there once it comes out of Beta though! The AMOLED screen is much better than I expected ...
