The Cube on the front brings up the main menu. It also does this whilst using another app which allows for multi-tasking. If the button is held then it brings up a task manager screen which allows you to manage your running apps.
seeing comments here that say it was their first phone makes me feel old, because it was my 9th phone. my first cellphone was a sony cmd cd5 in 2000. in hindsight: this was the turning point of deminishing returns for me in terms of phones. on the music equivalent: touchscreen phones are the mp3 player. if you grew up on casettes, went through walkman up to discman, to minidisc and then realised, the mp3 player will be the last step.. this is how i see phones today. from 2000 - 2009 we went through so many new technologies and progress. from 4 line black and white screens to 256 color screens, to 64.000k color big screen,to blutooth, to internal cams, to the addition of wifi and mobile internet, to nfc, to touchscreen and then it stopped. new phones dont exite me anymore and that use to be different, since i almost alway had 2 contract plans running in order to get a new phone every year because progress was so immense back then
I think it was a good phone for the time, but now I'm using a Samsung GS2 (Galaxy II). I really liked the phone, it is pretty responsive, it has many functions, (compared to that time's standard)... It's still good as a first phone even though it's kinda old.
resistive means that you have to actually "push" in order to hit buttons on the screens whereas with capacitive screens a simple touch is sufficient. comes down to personal preference really
Samsung Jet does have wi-fi and if you have wifi at home you can use it for free of course and out and about assuming it's not passworded/you know the password but using it if you can connect is always free. The quality of the camera i have heard is very good. I'm hoping mines coming on tuesday :D
It takes an SD card up to 16GB. They cost about £25 atm, but you can get 2GB ones for £5, and obviously a range in between. The phone itself is free on a £20/mo vodafone contract in the uk. Not sure how much it is for pay-as-you-go...
Is this phone lound, me and my friends just like to chill and listen to music sometimes. Also does this phone have a light you can turn on? I remember my old phone could use the flash as a light when you wanted.
every feature seems to have an issue except for the bluetooth and transfering files to your computer aswell as the cube thing which you'll never use anyway and the shutdown/startup time which is really fast. i wrote verything it didn't like with the phone down and it turned out to be quite long, however, if samsung decides to fix these problems and flaws via a firnware update it'll be a really nice phone.
don't get your hopes up. i got ot and i have it. so much that they could have done better with the software and a few thing with the hardware. Things lag sometimes and the media player has stuttering sometimes. only thing good with it is the screen and the camera when the LED-flash doesn't blind it.
you guys make great vids, but maybe when demonstrating the software you should do it an a dark room like phonearena, the glare on the screens is kind of irritating my eyes. other than that, great vid :)
hey i'm thinking of buying this some 3 weeks from now.. but i'm confused between samsung jet or the nokia 5800 xpress music.. and since i saw a video of you unboxing both units.. can u give me a tip on which phone is better since u've had them both..? thanks!
If you turn the phone to its side so the screen is landscape (Dunno how to explain it properly) and ur in like txt mode, does it turn into a qwerty keyboard thing? hope that makes sense.
hey i'm planning to get this phone and i've got a few questions: 1)Can you change the wallpaper? 2)Can you turn off the vibration that you say happens everytime you touch the phone? 3)Overall, would you recommend this phone? tys
Do i need to have an internet connection when i for example am riding my motorcycle, and i get lost. So i stop, turn on the phone and turn on gps.. now do i need to pay some extra for some internet downloadable package to my provider (o2) or is using of GPS completly free?
I have one big question. How good is the quality or the volume of this phone through Headset. I just bought the Nokia 5530 (which is called Xpress Music) however the volume for my taste is too low, I like when I hear music through headphones that it sounds intensely. I had had the idea to buy a Nokia 5800 but it seems to be the same volume as 5530. And I already know that Samsung S5230 have a great volume so I suposse that this phone has as well but NOT sure, please let me know
also it can only hold 450 texts with is annoying if you text alot and have to empty the sent and the inbox all the time. The 3.5mm a the top is not able to fully hold on to the male connector so it sometimes slides up a bit which causes the music you listen to goes mono in the right ear.
ive got the samsung jet for 5 months now (: and im liking it so farr, the only thing that i dont like is the touch screen bcz u need to press down a bit on icons compared to my ipod touch where i only need touch and not press. But apart from that its a good phone with excellent camera, wifi, amoled display and gps.
resistive or capacitive?? im thinking of buying this phone!!! but im not sure yet because i dont now if i like touchscreen.. i rather have a phone with a qwerty keyboard!!
just ordered 12 from ebay for £4...... even i should be able to get one on properly with 12 to go at ;0) do you like the phone i get mine monday. and can the pics on the menu screens be changed? cheers
pls help ! wich one is better the s jet or the nokia x6? wich one has a better video recording and photo shot quality? and wich one do you think i should buy? pls urgent help i need to make a choise between these two 'till next week and i don't know wich one should i choose :(
well not that bad i got used to it :D and an advise would be u should try it at some store just to make up your mind i did that befor getting it ofc (: and the qwerty keyboard is amazing i can type pretty fast because its a resistive screen and i only need to use the tip of my thumb for typing. i hope that helped (:
i gotta loving this phone,that's such a greatphone,who using it pls tell me more information of this phone,i want to get this phone soon,now i am using 5800 but the touch not very good at all
@dirtychic00 my dad has the x6 and it is so plain to use - the touch is inconsistent and slow though it is capacitive. I recommend the jet as reviews prove that this is much superior than x6. i got bored of it the first day he got it
hi i have some question. what is the software program in samsung jet s8000 (widows, symbian, andriod...) or it is only java??? and how can i start the navigator (when i press at the naavi.. ikon i get a message that says - please put om the memory card o something like that can someone help me :S thxxxxxx
My first phone! - the only touch screen phone in the shop, I even used to call it the 'Samsung Jet touchscreen'...
Got this phone when I was 9 years old, my first phone. How things have changed!
The Cube on the front brings up the main menu. It also does this whilst using another app which allows for multi-tasking. If the button is held then it brings up a task manager screen which allows you to manage your running apps.
Might buy this it seems quite advanced

There's a wifi chip built into the handset yes, but of course you can only use it where there is a wifi hot spot
My first phone!
I bought this phone three days ago. The phone's amazing.

My first phone ever
fuckin memories 😭😭
Yup as long as you can connect (ie. you can't if theres a password and you dont know it) then it's always free :) It's 3G you have to pay for
ok, thanks :-) can't wait for this phone :-D so, capacitive is like the iPhone and resistive is like the most other touch screen phones?
very nice, it's like a super updated version of my omnia i910, do you know if the hexagon serves as an optical mouse mechanism like the omnia?
Nowadays they dont even include a charging adapter
@hightopnikes104 They are not comparable.. So much of an improvement is it. You'll love the sgs2 and will never look back. Congrats btw :)
Is this phone lound, me and my friends just like to chill and listen to music sometimes. Also does this phone have a light you can turn on? I remember my old phone could use the flash as a light when you wanted.

it should, anything compatabile with Vista works with Windows 7.
Will I actually need anything from the CD? Can I get any hardware for mac if I did need it?
Cheers for the review, just what I was looking for.
the pretties phone i've ever seen!!!
and off course the samsung omnia 2 looks as good as the jet
don't get your hopes up. i got ot and i have it. so much that they could have done better with the software and a few thing with the hardware.

My first phone....

Does Jet have the letter recognizer by pen writing either, as Omnia has?
If you turn the phone to its side so the screen is landscape (Dunno how to explain it properly) and ur in like txt mode, does it turn into a qwerty keyboard thing? hope that makes sense.
great review, you have completly convinced me to get this phone
hey i'm planning to get this phone and i've got a few questions:
1)Can you change the wallpaper?
2)Can you turn off the vibration that you say happens everytime you touch the phone?
3)Overall, would you recommend this phone?
tys
Do i need to have an internet connection when i for example am riding my motorcycle, and i get lost. So i stop, turn on the phone and turn on gps.. now do i need to pay some extra for some internet downloadable package to my provider (o2) or is using of GPS completly free?

@jellevanuden
oh ok. but i don't have my phone and keys in the same pocket so i think that's also less chances on scratches.
why would there be a stylus. Its a capacitive touch screen.
why don't you do video reviews man. I really hope you do so in future.
great unboxing dude
the jet, without a doubt
erm. Samsung jet doesn't have Window Live Messenger, Omnia has. So could Jet download the msn ?
I wanna no if I should get this fone or is there better
PC studio works on Windows 7?
where can i buy this phone?! everywhere is out of stock
@Tcrudden monte has no qwerty. what's the point of a touchscreen without qwerty?
ok, thanks . got the phone this week and just love it :D
Nice

Have you really received them?
what is better:samsung JET S8000 or T-Mobile pulse?
I got this phone today and I love it!
Does this phone work also witth a mac computer?
thank you
:)
the jet does have a bulit in memory of 2 gigabyte or 8 gigabyte
is the wifi free or does it use phone credit
Samsung Fun Club in the future.
Whats best samsung jet or LG arena??
well this phone looks exactly like the omnia II, which is a smartphone so i figured this was as well just for a different region
which 1 is better?
Nokia X6 or Samsung Jet???
scratch those comments im going to save up and either get a HTC Legend or a HTC Wildfire which one should i get ?
is this model better than i900 omnia , and if so -why then ?
@dirtychic00 my dad has the x6 and it is so plain to use - the touch is inconsistent and slow though it is capacitive. I recommend the jet as reviews prove that this is much superior than x6. i got bored of it the first day he got it
My first smartphone .
@xxlighteningxx
He says: whats best, the samsung Jet, or the LG arena
My old phone! It stopped working completely randomly once, what might be the issue? Battery is dead?
Mine too. Repair shop said everything broke down, turns on every 20-th time if you're lucky. It's old trash now.

My mum had that phone and i charged it up and found many old videos of the family including me when i was 2-3
