Occasionally slow despite very fast CPU
Some quirks.
Easy to see influence of styling from other mobiles/smartphones Touchscreen at time lacks responsiveness that one would expect. Some system lag To easy to accidentally press a side button when not wanted
5 megapixel camera when it should be higher.
The Samsung Jet lacks voice dialing
Instant messaging
And GPS software for directions. Customization options are limited.
Overall the Samsung JET is an amazing little phone. Its jam-packed with features and so easy to use. Although the camera and video features are not as good as on the LG Arena pretty much everything else is better in my opinion. “Smarter than a smart...
Abstract: Following last week's Tocco Lite and the 8-megapixel camera toting i8910 from a month ago, I now have Samsung's Jet S8000 in my hands. Those two previously reviewed handsets represent the top of Samsung's current line-up and its budget model. The Jet lie...
The Samsung Jet has a fantastic looking screen, a good camera and solid call quality. If you’re not a touchscreen connoisseur then some of the issues that we had with it may not affect you. This felt more like a fashion phone than an iPhone competitor ...
Bright, clear AMOLED screen; customisable home screen with widgets; standard headphone jack; Wi-Fi connectivity; good photo and video quality; expandable memory; innovative one-finger zoom function
Jerky, confusing user interface; resistive touchscreen; average Web browsing speed; bad keyboard layout; difficult to transfer media over USB

The Samsung Jet is an attractive, accessible handset whose slickness is only held back by the fact that, sensitive as its screen is, it doesnt have an ultra touch-friendly capacitive touchscreen...
Abstract: A seriously feature-rich, and in many ways talented, phone, but it falls short as a business device. If you want a smartphone, an Android -based device or even the iPhone will serve you better. ...
Abstract: This is the phone that its manufacturers claim is 'smarter than smartphone'. Nice line, but does it have what it takes to kick devices such as the iPhone and Palm Pre where it hurts?First and foremost, there are things the Samsung Jet definitely has th...
Super-fast processor and decent camera, Awesome AMOLED screen and 3.5mm jack
Sluggish when flicking through album covers or scrolling through pictures, Not as slick as what we were hoping for
The Jet is a great little bit of kit with a lot of power under the diminutive hood. We love the styling (although the chassis feels a little cheap) and for a cut-price option to the iPhone, this is a top notch effort
