View score

The good: Snappy performance; HSDPA; Wi-Fi; 3.5mm audio jack; supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync; priced affordably; high-resolution 800 x 480-pixel touchscreen.

The bad: Fingerprint magnet; no bundled memory card and mapping software; limited apps.

The bottom line: The Samsung Jet is an excellent touchscreen device that's priced competitively, yet packs a heap of features that would keep most people entertained for some time.

stupider than non-smartphone



Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: Big screen, great design, good camera
Cons: lack of basic features, touchscreen not very usable, GPS and map lacking
Opinion:
This is a good multimedia gadget as long as you don't use it as a phone. Very high resolution screen for great movie, with 2GB build in memory. Very good camera with plenty of special effects.

As a phone, the inaccurate touchscreen and jumpy scrolling make reading sms a pain. The lack of basic function such as copy and paste as well as the lack of search for contact (it's sorted by first name and only jump accordingly to first name) make this phone's tagline of smarter than smartphone quite the opposite.

 

Very very short battery life!



Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: RATE : 0/10, REALLY!
Cons: batt doesn' last 24 hr!
Opinion:
Bought the phone in July! Still unable to use the phone cos kept sending to service center many many times and problem still problems not fix! These is what they have done.
1.Charging cable--REPLACED!
2.Battery---REPLACED!
3.Finally, motherboard---REPLACED!After long wait,cos they DON'T HAVE STOCK !UNBELIEVEABLE.
Still phone battery went flat in less than 24hr.What else!
BTW,usage was very very light.Tried many option like no bluetooth,wifi,video,camera or any application.Just went flat in LESS than 24HR!Paid lot of money,and what do I get?Phone that doesn't work!

 

Worst touchscreen



Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: 800Mhz processor
Cons: bad touchscreen,software errors,battery life
Opinion:
Have had this phone for 3 weeks now.And it is a piece of crap.It has great features but it has way too many defects.

Rating: 0.5/5

After using it for 3 weeks,it started give me problems.

- When I try to dial a number in the keypad,and after dialing like 4 digits it automatically calls,without allowing me to dial the entire number
- When browsing through the phone book contacts,it automatically dials a random contact
- It does not allow me to search the contacts
- And when u switch off and power on the phone,it freezes and there is no way to switch off the phone but to remove the battery
- It always freezes like after using it for 15 mins

And after spending this much money,it's worthless.Never buy this phone.And they are not even willing to replace the handset.
