Please do not use swear words or offensive language, and please, no advertising! Reviewed by David on 19/03/2010I'd agree with Thomas Yeung. I wanted to use the Jet also to synchronise with outlook diary. When I tried, I received a message saying the phone memory was full. Two days of frustration later, I gave up trying and exchanged it for a Nokia 5230 which I managed to synch in two minutes flat without any problems. I also found the voice quality and internet connection speed better with the 5230 than the Jet. Rating:  Reviewed by marion on 18/03/2010 only had the jet for a few days but love it, only prob is I have a t mobile contract and cant seem to move their logo from main display screen to the widget bar like my son can on his O2 one - any ideas ?? other than that 99/100 for it ! Rating: Reviewed by Joe Baker on 17/03/2010 GREAT phone. Highly recommended great touch pad. Rating: Reviewed by legend on 14/03/2010 have this phone for 3 days, having issue with wi-fi already, other then that the phone is great. Excellent MP3 quality, camera's clarity. Speaker is great. Rating: Reviewed by Rudy on 14/03/2010 The software that comes with the phone "PC Studio" does not work with Windows 7 64 bit operating system. Rating: Reviewed by Caroline Gallacher on 14/03/2010 Had my Samsung Jet for quite a few months now and I hate it. I do not recommend it to anyone. It continuously freezes and I can't do anything for hours and hours at a time. The bottom left hand corner of the screen doesn't work. Always been a Samsung fan but after this phone I will never be using a Samsung phone again. Rating: Reviewed by Tareq on 14/03/2010 I got my phone 3 weeks ago and i am amazed with it... truly THE best non-smartphone and better than most smartphones.... has brilliant features and great software... really should get this... Rating: Reviewed by Vicky on 13/03/2010 How come this phone is still rated at 4.5 stars? i would've given it a big fat zero if i could cos 1 is way too generous Rating: Reviewed by Alison L on 10/03/2010 Useless!! A shockingly slow phone. Unresponsive touch screen, poor signal, no apps, screen feezes, terribly slow internet, i could go on. The only positive thing i can say is that the battery is nowhere near as bad as some of the reviews on here suggest. I'm getting a good 5 days out of mine. Do not buy this phone!! It's awfull Rating: Reviewed by GEE-SUNG CHOI on 08/03/2010 NO NO ALL JET ARE PROBLEMATIC, TRY CALLING ANYONE IN COMPLETE DARKNESS WITH NO LIGHT, THEN WHEN THE CALL IS ACTIVE TRY USING THE SCREEN, THE SCREEN WILL BE BLACK ONLY NO BUTTTONSS WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rating: Reviewed by Dean on 07/03/2010 This phone is absolute RUBBISH. Had the contract since august and tomorrow morning a courier will be bring me my 5th handset. The internet is woefull at best, cant open multi pages cos it crashes, signal strength very poor(eg my wife on the same network has the tocco next to her with full signal my jet has 1 bar) i have yet to find a place to get apps for it. surely Samsung should be taken to task for false advertising, because far from being a jet its more of a slug in terms of speed. And the worst thing is because i'm only 6 months into the contract orange wont let me change to a different model even if i pay. By far and away the worst phone i have ever had. AVOID at all costs Rating: Reviewed by Jaynie on 04/03/2010 Really nice looking phone. The touchscreen is pretty easy to use, good camera, loads of memory. Battery life isn't quite as amazing as i expected, but not too bad if you turn off bluetooth and wifi. Apart from that, it's a really great phone, buy it! Rating: Reviewed by Tom on 03/03/2010 Nice phone, only thing that bugged me at first was how hard it was to read a message. You have to click 'view' in just the right place, can't be fun for those with fat fingers but i've got used to it now. To anyone that says they're only get about 24 hours battery life, there's a problem with your battery or charger! phone lasts about 5 days with light usage. also to Chloe - that's the fake call feature! Rating: Reviewed by fred on 02/03/2010 excellent phone Rating: Reviewed by Dean on 01/03/2010 I've had this phone 2 days and although im having to return it (for a factory defect) this is a great phone. I have searched through most of this phone playing with all the lil bits an pieces, and love it. The 'coverflow' like system is quite fast, the 3D I THINK is actually practical compared to the LG S-Class UI. The only one gripe I have is that you couldn't move the icons on the menu screen...well until I found out the latest firmware upgrade allows that to happen, as well as larger cover art for your media player AND more speed...like seriously you can get more??? Im getting another replacement unit as I love it. My is a defect from factory one of those one in a million style. the physical lock button does not contact with the internal lock trigger an as search I cannot use the button. I have to let it auto lock. BUT this is like a said a factory defect. Movies on the Jet are really great too and compared to my old LG Renoir, which did them great as well, this just blows it out the water..oh and you CAN tell that lil extra 0.1 size difference in the screens between the old 3 inch screens and the Jet's 3.1 inch screen. I love that its quite customisable too, allowing 3 wallpapers on each homescreen which inturn is on the lock screen too depending on which homescreen your on AND it allows you to drop a picture behind the menu icons as well which I think is really nice. Though the one thing I do miss from my Renoir is the fact of being able to set a starting an shutting down pic...that I did like. but its not on the Jet. Now as to the web browser. Its actually very good. To those who say they can't view flash need to realise that there are many types of flash on the net, and while phones and smart phones etc are getting better to view flash, their technology will always be behind whats on the web...so try any flash from most likely 6 months prior to the jets launch...saying that lots of flash ads have worked just fine for me. I dont often use the internal phone browsers really, I opt for opera mini, its just far superior. With the Jet it allows you to download Opera Mini 5 beta 2 correctly and my god is it fast!...yes like all JAVA apps it comes up with the virtual keypad BUT do a google search on how to remove it and you can, it does involved editing a file before you transfer the java file from pc to phone, but then it will be true full screen an use everythign properly. But I have opera mini 5 running, and its the fastest I have ever seen it, menus are smooth, I had 4 windows open at once loading pages and they did so very fast. Opera Mini 5 is quite intensive and is very sluggish on older phones it is tailored more for phones more in the last year, especially touchscreens and it well just runs perfect. As to battery life I havent been able to give it a GOOD hammering yet with JAVA apps and such, but I never turn 3g off its always on for me...I did manage something like 7 hours of music and a movie or two before it decided to go down to 2 bars...and I consider that to be impressive, as I've had n series phones and also the samsung tocco ultra and that couldnt even manange a few hours of music before dying. As to the cheap plastic feel of this phone, I love it, it has such a smooth and balanced feel to it. Yes it is a little on the light side compared to say my LG Renoir, which now looking back is quite bulky an ugly. The Jet does remind me ALOT of holding the iphone when I used to have one...the way the curves of the phone just....sit there in your hand...comfortable. As to the screen having issues I cannot say for definate, at times the screen is one of the best resistive ones I've had..and my Renoir IS the best I've had and is still very responsive. And at times it takes quite a press to make it work BUT I believe this is more to do with the condition of my screen (I purchased my jet from a secondhand phone shop) and it is scratched a bit in places, right where sensitivity is lacking. In conclusion I think the reason alot of people are dissapointed with it is due to the marketing, Samsung claimed it "Smarter than a smartphone" due to the hardware BUT this caused confusion in the public who thought it was a smartphone...and as Thomas proves below he was upset it wasnt and returned it. Also like any phone that is OVER hyped it will feel like an anticlimax when it is released. I saw the big flashy video presentation the general manager did manipulating a holgram display of the Jet on stage...was that really needed? Its because of stupid advertising and theatrics that alot of people expected something far greater than the Jet ever could be, and actually probably far greater than any phone could be in at least the next two years. Is it a iphone beater? no...quite simply it doesnt have the user interface, the screen or anything that make the iphone a class leader in touchscreen phones...BUT! is it a very good very fast phone with a gorgeous high resolution screen that it capable of doing a large amount (especially at once thanks to the task manager) without costing a VAST fortune? yes....is it a LG Arena beater? I'd say so yes! the Arena is slow and buggy and LG dont care for the users rather than fix a problem they just release a new phone. Ok I think thats enough writing for now. Rating: Reviewed by markB on 28/02/2010 seems you cant post honest views on samsung jet.as a user for a few months cant say anything about poor pretty much non existant samsung support .guess thsi should be named the favourable samsung jet reviews section !!! lol Rating: Reviewed by Lara on 27/02/2010 This is my first touch screen phone, and I was a little unsure whether I would be able to text as quickly using touch phone. After reading alot of reviews I decided on the Samsung Jet; I have had it for just over a week and I love it. I can text quickly, although I am still learning the different functions as there are so many, my daughter seems to know more than me, but I can honestly say its the best phone I have ever had. Rating: Reviewed by gary on 26/02/2010 Software has completely died after 6 months of use, facebook constantly crashing and not loading. Sent the phone off to be repaired now. Phone is ok no where near a blackberry or iphone HTC etc aps are very limited as well Rating: Reviewed by noi ashton on 25/02/2010 I got samsung Jet since 15th Jan 2010, its very great phone , its really Jet !!!!!!! Rating: Reviewed by georgia bodley on 23/02/2010 hey, yh i think this phone is pretty amazing, but what i dont like is that it is nearly the same to the tocco-lite, which i didnt like very much. Rating: Reviewed by xalyssax on 21/02/2010 this phone is the most amazing thing that has happened to my life a must buy Rating: Reviewed by Samantha Sanders on 20/02/2010 Well I've had this phone for 3 days now, and I think its wonderful. I previously had a Nokia N96 and was a definite Nokia person, but since the problems I had with my Nokia, I converted to Samsung. Its much faster, and once I got used to the touch screen and not having a keypad, lol - I love it!! The Samsung Jet is a very user friendly phone, very easy to find anything on the menu - if you're not used to touch screens, then you will probably be like me, and take a fair few attempts at getting used to scrolling across and up and down the touch screen, but I've now got used to it. The only drawback I can find is the fake call button at the side, I keep accidentally pressing it which then causes my phone to ring me 10 seconds later!! I know you can change the time on the fake call but does anyone know how I can switch this off completely? Rating: Reviewed by Best on 19/02/2010 Well, I am still struggling to underestand its GPS system. The LED flash is not good at all, and hence photos taken using its flash are blury. Otherwise, the other specifications and performances are very good. Rating: Reviewed by Sam on 18/02/2010 This phone is awesomeeeeeeee :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Rating: Reviewed by - on 18/02/2010 IT is awesome! very cool does nearly everything i want it too and i use it for lots of things! Battery life is ok but nt great! Rating: Reviewed by Nikki on 18/02/2010 This phone actually has to be the best phone I've ever had. :) Okay, so I'm only 15.. but it does everything that I need it too. It's great to text on, it took some getting used too but now i find it really quick and easy, it's reall easy to understand, nothing has confused me at all, and I have been able to do everything I need too without a glance at the handbook. The camera is good too, considering that it is only 5mp. It also has flash, which a lot of phones seem to lack. The only thing that has let me down with this phone is the fact that the charger has to be in a certain position for it to work, but this can be easily solved by buying a new charger which I have not yet got round to doing. Overall, it's an amzing phone for it's price and can't be beaten in my eyes. :) Rating: Reviewed by Chloe on 16/02/2010 Had this phone since xmas ... Never had a samsung before, Always had nokia. Its very good. The only few things that are wrong with it are; I cant seem to get the missed call screen to go away even when i press exit, It returns later on in the day. The only way i can make it not to come up is to call the person back o.O The other thing i have found out is that i keep having a unknown number call me, If i press lots of buttons while its locked. As i would usually have my phone in my pocket it happens quite alot. If i leave the call to ring, It will hang up and no missed call is recorded. If i pick up then i hear nothing. The other thing is that the internet is very slow and cannot support a number of sites including the full facebook page (Which i like) Its cloggs up the phone and goes exremly slowly and then comes up with error Other than that its a great phone. Even though i did pay £280 for the phone in phones4u at xmas :) Rating: Reviewed by Oj on 14/02/2010 d fone is okay.. the thing that i hate about this fone s that is big nd d home button is all diamond which i hate.......but anyways the fone is okay Rating: Reviewed by husain on 13/02/2010 I'd give it 10/10. Straight to the point. Fast when propper calibration of the touch screen. It is a smart phone since there is an SDK that allows the development of customed applications for the Jet phone. I have tried nokia, sonyericsson, and iphone. They are over priced when compared to Samsung Jet. Rating: Reviewed by reviewer on 11/02/2010 great phone,,,wasnt sure about thequerty keyboard at first but now i am getting used too it,, it is the best way to text in my opinon. great phone :) Rating: Reviewed by jonathan on 09/02/2010 in response to Neil on 08/02/2010. i too had the same discussion with the shop assistant when i took my jet back. he tested my battery which he said was reading all the right signals, but when he tested the charger it wasnt charging at the correct voltage. so he swapped my phone for me and tested the charger before i took it away, it seemed ok and it is. so now my jet is staying charged for upto 3 days of quite heavy use before i think about charging again. this is a great phone Rating: Reviewed by James on 09/02/2010 The phone is good, im not one to live my life through a phone, so this has more than enough features but it has to go back for exchange as the battery is duff out of the box only giving me 8hrs, and I cannot use the phone while at work. However, the features, screen, response is superb. Rating: Reviewed by Neil on 08/02/2010 The most common complaint I read about this phone is to do with battery life. I too had battery life issues with my first Jet, it was barely lasting a full day of light usage. I obviously went back to the store and got the phone replaced.. Now! when I returned the phone, the Samsung assistant commented that he believes that the problem wasnt with the battery, but with the charger. Apparently, the charger has to send a certain voltage to properly recharge a battery, he tested my charger and it wasnt of the required voltage, so even though the battery says fully charged, it doesn’t have the required amount of power. The battery is now lasting up to 4-5 days of light use before recharging, which I think is really good for this type of phone. This includes a bit of WiFi and Bluetooth use and a couple of texts and phone calls. I love this phone, the screen looks vibrant and detailed, there is so much you can customize throughout. Anyway, I give the Jet 4 stars… Rating: Reviewed by dan on 05/02/2010 i have had this replaced 5 times bcuz of freezing shutting down and the touch sensitive goes for like 2 hours at a time Rating: Reviewed by Simon on 04/02/2010 Im an owner of 6 months. The phone itself isnt that bad however the support from samsung, the applications and widgets available, games and software are far and wide to be found. There is no externable downloads or anything for this phone and although it has the capability it lacks in support from its manufacturer. A brill phone if all you want to do is make calls and send txt... dont expect to be able to do much more. Rating: Reviewed by Kenneth on 04/02/2010 Hhmm..at first glance, all of the above fits in to the description of the new Jet. However, after been a owner of this phone for good six months I can only say, don't buy it!! I've never had so much problems with any phone I've had before*sigh* The phone have a tendency to switch off without a reason. The screen also freeze, not being able to solve it then just turn it off and turn it on again. There is no widgets other than Samsung's own to get, so you can't download Skype for example. It's not compatible with Mac OS:-/ And one last thing, when I talk to someone I have a hard time hearing what they're saying because the sound is swaying in a way. There is a noise reduction feature one can switch off, but it doesn't improve the sound at all.. No, I will bring it back to the dealer and get me another phone. I shouldn't say "No more Samsung" but it's quite annoying to purchases a somewhat expensive phone and not get the full value of it, right?! So I'll say NO MORE SAMSUNG, like when I turned from Windows to Mac:-) Rating: Reviewed by Loyloy on 03/02/2010 I am on my 3rd Jet handset already! same problem over and over again....the phones software cannot handle doing more than one thing at a time. Was a lovely little phone when i first had it but now i'm sick of it. Rating: Reviewed by Kevin on 03/02/2010 This phone seems to have some good features, but badly let down for me by (a) the touch screen, which is nothing like as good as the iPhone and hardly works at all for my wife's fingers for some reason and (b) the predictive text is bad eg if you type "Are" (one of the most common words in English) it suggests "Ase". The GPS seems very inaccurate. I will see if I can change it. Rating: Reviewed by creepy on 01/02/2010 Pros: Easy to use;good quality, bright screen; reasonable touch screen accuracy and sensitivity;good build quality;good spread of features;very good price (free on a lot of tariffs);reasonable battery life (averaging 3 days on a charge) Cons: Touch screen usability, whilst good, is still no match for the iphone;handsfree speaker quality poor (sound starts to break up at modest volumes) verdict: A very good phone but no iphone-on-the-cheap. Rating: Reviewed by Robert H. on 01/02/2010 Interesting that the reviewer doesnt mention the battery performance on the Jet ? According to the phone specs, the battery has upto 8 hrs talktime and 250+ hrs standby.. Im lucky to get a full 24hours out of the battery on this phone before charging up and thats by barely using it. I love this phone but the experience has been ruined by Samsungs lack of support with the Jet. Im currently in the process of taking my phone back for exchange due to the poor battery performance.. "it doesn't do what it says on the tin" Also, if you like to keep your gadgets up to date with the latest Firmware, then this phone isn't for you. Currently, the only way of upgrading this phones software is by going to an Official Samsung retailer who will charge you for the privelage. I only give 1 star because of my points above... Rating: Reviewed by Brettmeister on 30/01/2010 Outstanding phone, stylish, fast, slim (unlike me)Good price especially when you compare it too iphone. Lots of extras on phone. What can I say other than if you are thinking of buying this phone then think no more...go for it. Rating: Reviewed by James on 29/01/2010 This phone is FANTASTIC i bought it on 02 the other week,3 days later i took my girlfriend into to buy her one; I would of course recomend this phone to anyone looking for an alternative to the over-rated i-phone :-) Rating: Reviewed by Lydia on 28/01/2010 I LOVE MY PHONE!! its so amazing and i cant find a single fault with it. i compared it to my friends LG cookie, the jet is so much more responsive!! the battery is awesome, lasts 3 1/2 days with no stop. Got it for xmas and love it! Rating: Reviewed by Roken on 28/01/2010 Let me say to everyone who is criticising the touch screen on this (and there are a few of you), on day one I would have agreed. Then I ran the calibration utility - and two minutes later it was a dream to use. I shied away from touch screens since I don't like paw prints all over my phone, bit I have to say I've been impressed by this. Responsive, clean, and doesn't hold fingerprints like some I've seen. Who cares that it's not officially a smart phone. It's smart enough for me, with a drop dead gorgeous display, and enough functionality that I'd ever want in a phone. I've replaced my N95 8GB with this, and I'm very pleased that I did. Rating: Reviewed by Lucy on 27/01/2010 Really dislike this phone, had it for a day and tried to take it back but company (carphonewarehouse) won't exchange. Hating it so much that i'm selling it and buying a new phone. Have had a trusted E900 for 3 years and its never let me down- found the touch screen on the Jet lagging and very unresponsive, feels plasticy in the hand and texting was a pain. In the first night I accidently dialled 10 people due to the touch screen being super sensitive in some areas (you have to press in a very specific place in address book screen) and yet in other areas its so unresponsive. To give it its dues it does have a great camera, the screen is great and the music/video playing features are impressive. but that's not enough to convince me to keep it....... Rating: Reviewed by Abby Suffield on 26/01/2010 I have had my phone for 7 months, and in that time i have had three. I have had faults with the battery and now my LCD's have gone in the screen, hence, i cant see any of it! which is not very helpful! My battery doesnt even last me one day and the buttons keep freezing. At first i just thought i was unlucky getting the first two with battery problems but now i have come to the conclusion it is just the phone! I intend on changing my phone and i would advise anyone intending to buy one not to, save yourslef the hassle. Rating: Reviewed by russelll on 25/01/2010 im my point of view this cell phone doesnt deserve more than a half of its price,,the only good thing that i found in it is a good and high sound..but battary is the worst that i ever seen..also charging time is 2long .at the end the signal is bad comparing 2 any nokia phone.1 star is a fair rating Rating: Reviewed by S Banner on 25/01/2010 Have had this phone for about 6months. Generally it is good with some nice features, but it does have some rather annoying features which need attention. The main problem is the PC interface software; New PC Studio (NPC). It tries hard to be user friendly but is actually truly awful. The main problem is getting out of it once started as it appears impossible to exit this software after use. You can force it closed using task manager although sometimes even this won't work and a reboot is required. Also transferring files using NPC is hazardous. I have recently lost whole load of images because NPC informed me that my transfer had been successful when it had in fact only transferred the images names not the file!! Browsing can be slow and does not support full internet and so many pages are useless. Music player is confusing as has a tendency to mix-up the track order of albums. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth accessibility are good and easy to get to, which I have found hard to initiate on other phones (Palm Treo). Although, some obvious functions are difficult to modify. Ring tones for example seem only possible to change for each contact not the whole phonebook. I am therefore stuck with the Samsung tune unless I individually alter every one of my 200 contacts. Maybe there is a way around this, but I have not found it. Overall it is a good phone, stylish with some interesting functionality, but an iPhone it is not, and now iPhones are available with other operators I will be looking in this direction very soon. Rating: Reviewed by russell memo on 25/01/2010 the only good thing that i noticed in samsung jet is the multimedia clear high sound..the signal is not good comparing 2 any nokia phone,,battary life is 2short that i shocked when the device shut down after 10 hours of normal use{95%of them standby}..im wondering how trusted company such as samsung declared that battary life in standby mode is 420 hours Rating: Reviewed by Steven Johnson on 25/01/2010 Here are my personal opinions: I’ve had this phone for 4 days now and I’m very, very happy with it. I’m not a heavy mobile user, I will make the odd text, make the odd call, take some pictures and customize it, and this phone does it all very well and quick. I don’t use the internet on it so I can’t comment on that. It took me a while to get used to the touch screen because this is a first for me, but I soon got used to it. Some users have commented that it doesn’t feel responsive, I don’t get this at all. You only have to lightly tap or brush the screen for something to happen, it feels great. Personally, everything about the phone feels neat and well put together, OK so it’s all plastic, but it’s not cheap plastic in my opinion, especially the screen which looks amazing. Menu’s are neat and tidy and look stylish too. I give this phone 5 stars rated on my experience with it so far. Rating: Reviewed by wendy on 25/01/2010 Had my samsung jet for a couple of weeks now-very good phone. Easy to use, good sound, great for internet. The only thing that's not brilliant is the battery life. But thats what chargers are for. I recommend this phone. Rating: Reviewed by kim warn on 25/01/2010 iv had my jet for about 2 months now and at first i loved it, Untill all the rubbish started to happen switches itself off during a phone call, i have to preactically smack the screen for it to respond granted it is a very good looking phone and some of the things on it are really cool but if you want to text or ring people please do not get this phone im usually such a big samsung fan but this has dissapointed me :( xx take care all xx Rating: Reviewed by James W. on 25/01/2010 Firstly, some users shouldn’t have their comments posted! They find one little fault with the phone and it’s the worst phone in the world with 1 star. Then they feel they have to post it just to moan.. That kind of post, “in my opinion” doesn’t help anyone, it’s just silly and takes up valuable comment space… OK! I’ll get down off my soap-box now. Firstly, I’ve had this phone just over 2 week and my experience so far has been hassle free. Now, I see a lot of comments about the screen not being responsive, but this hasn’t been the case for me. All it takes is a slight tap or brush across the screen and that’s it, and what a brilliant screen it is… colourful and bright. You can change the brightness also, this will take strain off the battery. Battery life seems reasonable, from a full charge. I’m averaging just over 2 days of use before charging up again. Users who love to customise their gadgets will be in their element with this phone. Now.. a lot of users seem to dislike the whole plastic feel, but I’d like to add that it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy at all, it’s well compact and feels nice in the palm. Haven’t had any issues with sound or signal quality, all is well so far with that. Now if you’re a budding photographer, then you’ll love the camera here. I’m not saying you should get this phone to replace your digit al camera or anything, but the image quality is stunning. No one could tell you that your pics have come off a phone. I haven’t got into the GPS, Internet or widget side of things, so I can’t say much about them, but overall I love this phone and will give it 4 stars. Rating: Reviewed by Guruprasad on 24/01/2010 I have purchased new samsung jet s8003 phone its really nice phone, value 4 money, graphics while playing games is good, applications run faster on this phone, WiFi is good but it consumes lot of battery, I m satisfied with the phone... Rating: Reviewed by carson on 24/01/2010 Not a complete fan of this phone. Got it off an upgrade from orange and wasnt too keen on the orange firmware as it slowed it way down. The speaker quality was quite questionable too for some reason the sound came out muffled :s returned it and switched it for a different one. Everything else about the Jet is good, namely one for being a samsung, but this one just wasnt my cup of tea... Rating: Reviewed by Samsunguser4 on 24/01/2010 Not a smartphone, so no themes, limited applications, no enhancements, slow menus. This phone is plagued with problems, many are covered under warranty but not worth the hassle! look at darkforestgroup.com/forum and see how many people have written about problems. Rating: Reviewed by izat on 23/01/2010 a great phone, a bit slow for texting but that is normal for every phone iv had so iv learnt to be patient. i dnt use the internet, but iv heard its slow, so its a great phone for texting to calling, well, on 02 anyway. there was a previous comment from september, (a bit late i know) but u change the brown background by goin to settings, then display and light, and changing the theme, i think you were on the red theme which makes the background look brown, personally i prefer the green. someone else said they called ppl by accident- use the little case that comes with the phone to prevent accidental calls cos the phone unlocks itself, a touch screen unlocks itself by accident on every phone so the jet shudnt be critisized. i love this phone, the best touch-screen iv experimented with, including the iphone- which doesnt let you sent txts in areas of no reception, but doesnt tell you tht!! i spent an hour trying to send a txt b4 i finally found some reception Rating: Reviewed by Denise Harrower on 22/01/2010 I have the Samsung Jet and am really disappointed with it.

Rating: Reviewed by Fay on 20/01/2010 Ok, so I've had my 'Jet' for nearly 6 months now and it hasn't impressed me particularly in that time. Yes, the interchange between menus is pretty fast and the screen is easy to use and the actual menus are 'pleasing' to the eye, but the 'internet'? Oh dear. If you don't live in a perfect area of reception for the 3G to do it's thing, forget it. If you want to use Facebook (which comes already downloaded as an icon on the main menu)or Twitter, be prepared to be waiting around a lot, then for the '403 Forbidden' message to come up telling you that 'The server understands the request but is refusing to fulfil it', which becomes REALLY tedious after a while. And the predictive text is awful. Wish I'd got an iphone, but that wasn't available on Orange! Maybe I should blame Orange? Rating: Reviewed by Kim on 20/01/2010 As I read lots of reviews before making my decision on which phone to buy, I thought I'd spend some time giving something back for others to read. +ve: I love it....it's the first touch phone I've had & it's brilliant, I don't know why I was concerned about leaving button presses behind! The screen is even sensitive enough to use with long nails...something the IPhone isn't (my husband has just had an IPhone & we've been comparing). Also a plus against the IPhone is on lists i.e. phonebook, files etc. the area where you select is wider so you are less likely to select the wrong item. Its easy to navigate, type messages, use the internet & bluetooth. WiFI took a couple of attempts at pairing, but I've been told by the 'Geek Squad' this can occur with Orange Livebox. I like the fact that you can choose to type a message using a QWERTY (landscape mode) or the conventional text type buttons (portrait mode). I like the fact you can select to send a text message or phone someone from within the phonebook...saves key (or touch :-)) presses. Most menus have drop down sub-menus which saves a lot of time going backwards & forwards. The only reason I've scored 4 stars is because of the following. -ve: There are no 'copy' features, so you can't copy text between messages, schedules etc. & you can't copy anniversaries/schedules, which was a bit of a ball ache having to type in all of my birthdays by hand...but hey it's only once. It's easy to 'hang up' accidentally when you're on a call as the 'hang up' button is in the bottom right corner...so if you re-position the phone during a call beware, as the obvious place (well for me anyway) is to use that corner...I expect I'll get used to it with practice. Using the photo viewer takes a bit of getting used to, because if you tilt the phone slightly the photos start to zoom sidewards of their own accord....again this is just practice. Anyway enough...I could go on for ages...I hope this helps some of you who are considering this phone.

I wanted to make sure I tested it well before writing my review. I think the phone is good for the price you pay. It has Wifi and GPS which is something you don't normally get on phones this cheap. I've listed some good and bad points about the Samsung Jet to help you decide whether it's the phone for you: --Good Points-- * Easy to switch on/off bluetooth and wifi (via widgets) * Camera autofocuses and takes nice photos, also has a flash * It's a nice size, not as big as other smart phones like iPhone * Has a standard earphone jack to fit most earphones * The back of the phone looks awesome with the red stripes * The phone can run multiple apps at the same time * There are useful widgets such as facebook, youtube etc * It is easy to upload a new photo to facebook, picasa, etc * When typing a text message, you can turn the phone landscape to get a full keyboard. * Plenty more good points, but will take ages to list them all --Bad Points-- * When using the camera, if you try and lock the phone without first exiting the camera app, the phone freezes, and the only thing that unfreezes it is to remove the battery or get someone to phone you. If you don't do either of these things, you can wait a minute or two before it unfreezes * The vibration is very weak. I normally keep my phone in my pocket, and put it on vibrate with no sound. But i find that i don't feel the vibrate, so have to use sound now.

Going to debrand it and will for certain be able to give a more justified opinion of the phone's software as we all know Orange branded software really limits the performance of excellent phones... but the first thing that strikes the eye is the amount of glossy plastic...! It looks sleek for sure but too shiny for my liking compared to the metallic feel of my previous phones. Not too certain on the longevity of the shell but definitely certain its going to be a finger-print friendly one! It is light and very pocketable with hardware controls in sensible places and absolutely love the design of the back, very unique. Quite disappointed I got the plain cloth case rather than one of those fancy leather ones though... So far, love it design-wise apart from the plastic.

Rating: Reviewed by Douglas on 12/12/2009 Ok my last phone was a Viewty on PAYG. So much of my experience with the Jet refers to the viewty. The Samsung jet is a very nice phone. It`s very smooth and rounded, like holding a bar of soap (and it`s slipped out of my hands a couple of times too!) Feels a tad plastic on the back and a bit lite compared to my rugged Viewty. The viewty feels like it will last 10 years, the Samsung jet, maybe 5 if you`re careful. It is very responsive to the touch, very bright screen and fast. It has a slightly strange motion sensor which works pretty well. Just don`t use it in bed cos it gets a bit confused as it thinks you must be upright so it keeps switching around vertically and horizontally and I can`t get it to stop until I get up! lol. Volume is strong for such a slim thing and music plays pretty well, though I tend not to be fussy there. I can set all kinds of pictures up as I like on THREE screens which I can switch on the go. I really nice thing is the ability to password certain section of your phone and files. So if you have any girly pin-up pictures you don`t want the wrong person to see, well they don`t. hehe. But obviously it can be used for more important files too. The phone has a very nice Speaker phone ability, while talking to your friend you can place down the phone on a table and it will automatically switch to speakerphone. my friend din`t even notice the difference. He normally always knew when i switched to speakerphone on the Viewty. So, not bad. I really liked the somewhat pointless dice game on my phone. basically, it`s just two die that you shake physically and they roll up the numbers. I spent a while just rolling these digital things! Maybe it reminds me of my roleplaying days! Cameras pretty good. Not quite up to par with the Viewty, but almost. It has some nifty things though, like the ability to add images over a picture like `top secret`. Gimmicky, but fun. It also has a little Art program which interested me as I am an artist, but again, it`s more gimmicky then useful, certainly no photoshop! I really like fiddling and customising my phones, like my PC, so I don`t get phones that don`t. The Jet allows a lot of customisation, but one thing it doesn`t allow is for StartupShutdown screens or audio which the Viewty allowed. this is the one thing I really miss. It`s not enough to make me return the phone and it is a small point, but I really liked this ability on the Viewty. Anyway, looks like my daughter will get the Viewty afterall. There`s a lot more stuff, but that`s the basics and I`ve written enough anyway. I give it 4 Stars because I still think the older `inferior` Viewty still gives the Samsung Jet a real challenge. Hope this helps. :) Rating: Reviewed by vicky on 08/12/2009 i have always loved samsung phones but this is by far the worst one i have ever used. the first samsung jet i got,i had to return it. it was wrought with problems until it finally gave up the ghost, and this was just within three weeks. it was replaced with another one which also came with a new set of problems...some of the apps dont work...will be calling orange tomorrow to see if i can return it and get an entirely different phone..its just rubbish for me Rating: Reviewed by bbbysherry on 06/12/2009 anyone who finds this phone jetless must be sad its got it all and more if i could i would give it more stars sad people who dont like it need to get a life mabee they need to eat more carrots so can see better ? Rating: Reviewed by cow1 on 02/12/2009 I've had this phone for 1 and a half months now. It functions perfectly well as a phone and has a very good camera which is quick, easy to start up and comes with plenty of options. Texting is fine, although I am still getting used to touchscreen texting. I hardly ever use the Qwerty keyboard as I find the keys too small but the regular predictive text performs well. Battery is fine, it will probably last a day and a bit on medium usage. Surfing the Internet is as quick as can be expected and checking e-mails is breeze. Watching divx movies is no problem for the Jet and its beautiful screen (although I did have to convert some avi files I had first using the software which comes with the phone). I noticed that sometimes the sound on a movie will be limited, but I managed to solve this by loading up a music track which somehow encouraged the phone to produce louder sound with the film. It is possible to open numerous screens/apps at the same time. I have only ever opened two or three things at a time and experienced n o slowdown. The one niggle I have is that the phone sometimes unlocks and calls people if I'm not careful as the button is on the side and I think quite easy to push and hold down. But this has become less and less of a problem. Overall I am very happy with the phone. No phone is perfect and if you don't want to spend hundreds on the iphone, want a good camera and like to ensure your mobile is quite well future-proofed then this is a good choice.

The best thing that can be said for the Jet is that it is very user friendly. OK, like everything else it takes a bit of getting used to, but after a couple of days all the functions are straight foward and easy to navigate. The screen is good, the browser is good, the camera is good. However, I was hoping for a bit more. I was torn between this phone and the HERO, and really regret the choice I made. My girlfriend also got a BLACKBERRY CURVE on a similar deal, and what that lacks in usability it more than makes up for in features, particularly with the apps. There are lots of similar rival phones on the market, all have positives and negatives, and the Jet certainly does everything QUITE well. But if the i-phone is just out of reach, look at blackberry or HTC instead. Or failing that get an i-touch and a cheaper handset. Rating: Reviewed by Jojo on 26/11/2009 I haven't had my Jet for very long, but I am just so impressed with it! I was very apprehensive about upgrading to a full touch phone, as I am an avid texter, but I am pleaseantly surprised with Samsung's Jet. The qwerty keypad is pretty good (I make no more mistakes than with a physical keypad) and it seems to anticipate which letter you are going for when in the predictive T9 mode. I like that the normal key pad is also an option, as is the handwriting recognition. So texters, give it a go! For a resistive screen, it is very responsive, and to be honest, I'm not sure that I want a phone that is super sensitive to the touch, I like that there is a small amount of pressure needed, makes me feel like I am the one in control. I like the option of widgets, but I don't think I'll use them very much at all, but that is a personal thing. Sound quality is pretty good, and the voice clarity is also good. Although the calling volume does not appear to be as loud as my previous Samsung G600, I don't see it as a massive problem. I like the little fancy bits, such as laying the phone flat turns on the speaker when on a call, you can have a muti-conference phone call if you wish, the motion sensor is a nice bonus once you get the hang of it. The camera is good, and I love the smile detection option for taking photos! There are a few niggles, as I'm sure there are in any phone. It is fast, though it does lag at times, but it doesn't bother me as it is nothing compared to my previous. Sometimes it does take more than once to press something, but who cares. I'd rather push something a few times and get it right, than accidently push the wrong thing! Lastly, it is NOT a smart phone and it does not actually claim to be...it claims to be AS GOOD AS. Also, if you want an iPhone, a smart phone or a capacitive phone, go out and buy one!! Rating: Reviewed by Mark on 25/11/2009 If you turn the brightness down the battery will last a lot longer.

Getting a new phone has always been something ive looked fwd to and in 2009 i considered many like the Samsung i8910HD, LG Crystal, Tocco Ultra, Sony Erikssons et al and i'm glad i got the Jet. The internet functions are all user friendly, although there are some files it cannot open like pdf attachments which is a bit disappointing. YouTube is great fun too as long as you remember its NOT a laptop, its a phone ok and these applications take longer. The camera/video quality is also exceptional( 5MP; its quality NOT quantity that counts here ok!). The headphones are slick(best ive had) as is the very useful 3.5mm jack(although i havent downloaded any music,just listened to radio; its all there itunes style.Graphics are incredible. The only thing that lets it down is the cheap battery off cover, like a cheap cycle light flip off. Ive put a few notches in it trying to master it! I'm with 3G @ £33/month with 800mins/500txts/unlimited internet so its not cheap if you want the whole package. But hey, it aint a cheap/budget phone. Get it!! Rating: Reviewed by Jack on 10/11/2009 They dont call it the samsung jet for nothing, it is outstandingly quick, the Wi-Fi and the touch from your finger.I personally perfer this then the i-phone because it has better mega pixels, more memory and also i think it looks better aswell. Outstanding phone!! Rating: Reviewed by Richard on 09/11/2009 I've had this phone for over a week now & i love it! it is not as intuitive as nokia phones but once you learn your way around it is a joy to use. the screen is awesome, the processor blazingly fast. Font size is very large (if you set it) great for people with poor eyesight. the pc software however "New PC studio" is virtually useless other than syncing contacts. battery life fairly good. i got 6 days on a single charge with light use. Rating: Reviewed by kaytee. on 08/11/2009 Had nothing but trouble with this phone! Returned it about 3 times, swapped it once, battery life is absolutely AWFUL. For it to last at least 2 days you can't have Wifi, bluetooth or listen to any music.. The whole purpose why i bought this phone was because of the extremely "fast" internet, the internet browser is great, but not if i can't use it to save the damn battery life! Also scratches really easily, the case it came with is annoying because you can't actually get it out when its in haha..AND you can't see the screen in broad daylight.. This is only my opinion but i would defo avoid this phone. Rating: Reviewed by andrew sloan on 08/11/2009 have had the jet now for 10days and am well pleased with it does what it says on the tin can i find fault with the battery well my provider 3 has talk time of 350 mins and a stand by time of 400 hrs but i use the phone for internet browsing which i find is sore on the batterys so charge the phone on a dailly basis Rating: Reviewed by Diane on 07/11/2009 I have had this phone for about a week and im absolutely loving it! the camera is very good i especially like the smile detection (it wont take the picture until the person is smiling).I also love the music player , it has very good quality sound- its HD!It also supports divx video playback when i watched a movie on it , the quality was better than my televison. Samsung has done well in making such a great affordable mobile phone! Rating: Reviewed by Unknown on 05/11/2009 Its so awsome.. Its lightning fast and it has enouf features that a normal human nead. BUY IT !!! if you are not a buissnies man Rating: Reviewed by John Cardiff on 04/11/2009 Oldie @ 50, was worried about touchie phone but just after a couple of days confidence is booming. You just need to give time for playing. Text predictive system very good but suggest best technique is fingernail end, because otherwise locating editing point is almost impossible. WiFi option means don't after pay for browsing useage. With 3 front page options great for having different clock displays according to country of interest / business. Migrating contacts was a bit messy but doing this via SIM then using PC suite & sync allowed easier editing and actually allowed correction of previous contact data. PC suite gives you a display option for each contact. ENJOY THE NEW TOUCHIE WORLD. Don't go for alternative qwerty slide out options when you can simply rotate this phone to be presented with QWERTY keyboard, but remember to use fingernail end for accuracy. Rating: Reviewed by Rockin' Ron on 01/11/2009 I think "Disappointed" must have either got a rogue handset or he's on some stupid network like 3. You can adjust the sensitivity by calibrating it. Settings - Phone Settings - Calibration. Just tap the screen as you normally would and the phone stores the sensitivity. Clever, or what? Lots of phones don't come with a memory card to keep the price down and also give you freedom to choose the best size. They're all dead cheap nowadays anyway. Surely all phones need to connect to the internet so you can use GPS or Sat Nav or whatever and at the really attractive prices on offer for this handset, what's another fiver a month for unlimited mobile internet. At least that's all I pay Vodafone. You CAN access the menu during a call. Press the main key (the one with six sides!) in the middle at the bottom of the phone - this works similar to the minimise icon on a computer. You can download most games for free from Samsung's site. I also st rongly disagree with his comments on the camera. I've got a Canon 40D DSLR which I didn't have with me the other day but still managed to take an awesome picture of a rainbow which was published in our local paper and it's hard to tell whether it was taken on my phone or camera. But, as most other functions which he seems to be struggling with, you have to choose the correct settings to achieve this. THIS PHONE IS TRULY AWESOME AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. And worra screen!!!! Rating: Reviewed by Dissapointed on 30/10/2009 Looks nice but a complete gimmick. This phone has a poor touch screen where you find yourself repeatedly tapping away for it to respond. There are no options for sensitivty or menus and options in general are very limited compared to its rivals. It comes with no memory card. Although it has GPS, there is no GPS software - making it usless. If providers claim you can use mapping that will probably mean via the internet, which maybe very costly, and inaccurate compared to GPS. If they claim it has sat nav, again, that means you will have to connect to the internet to use it. You cannot access your menu during a call. It comes with no games, apart from a touch screen drawing board thing. The camera picture is poor even for a mobile. It is on par with 3MP mobiles. The 3 desktop function is a gimmick. The 3 page menu is a waste of space as most of these items are unused. Shortcuts are often just weblinks. Widgets are just shortcuts to parts of the menu (or weblinks). There is no handset, so you will find yourself constantly wiping fingerprints off the screen. In summary AVOID this handset, particularly if the provider isnt giving unlimited internet usage. Rating: Reviewed by tommy90 on 28/10/2009 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! Rating: Reviewed by . on 25/10/2009 its great ! camera and battery lifes not too good but otherwise great !

Rating: Reviewed by Natalie on 23/10/2009 I was browsing for a new phone and really fancied a go at having a touch screen. Saw the Samsung Jet advertised on TV and I must say, first impressions were great! Did some research on the phone, still very impressed and once my old contract was up, I got a new one, 20 pounds a month with Vodafone. It's a 24 month contract, but I'm sure I won't get sick of this little baby! Can't find a fault so far and had it nearly 3 months!
