  • Abstract:  There is a lot to like about the Samsung Jet. Ignore the fancy cube interface (which is easily done), forget about shaking to switch apps (also easy to do), and concentrate on the core features, and this is a well put together and serviceable handset....

  • Abstract:  Small, light and nicely styled, on paper the Samsung Jet has everything that you'd would want in a smartphone. You get 3G connectivity, Bluetooth, wi-fi, an FM radio and a touchscreen. This three-inch AMOLED screen is the Jet’s stand out feature, and w...

  • Samsung is hyping this phone up because of its 800MHz Application Processor, but that doesnt really mean much in the real world; the fact is, no Samsung phone released this year is slow! This phone has impressive functionality, and equally impressiv...

  • The Samsung S8000 Jet isnt a do-everything phone but its still a very attractive handset, and certainly seems to deliver on its core offerings: speed and ease of use. The OLED screen is a gem and though we would have liked it to have been a smidgeon...

  • Samsung says the Jet is "smarter than smartphone", which is a fib Pinnochio would gouge your eyes out with. It's not a smartphone, so there's no way to load up on third party apps, leaving you stuck with the programs Samsung has deigned to pre-ins...
  • The Samsung Jet's got us perplexed: it's powerful, beautiful and intuitive, but we don't get the point of a dumbphone that costs as much as a smartphone. It destroys the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and LG Arena, but unless you've never needed t...
