Samsung S8000 Jet review: Airborne

08 July 2009
It's that time of the year and the living is easy: pool parties, blockbuster movies and new gadgets. The Samsung S8000 Jet sure knows good timing and gallantly promises a bit of everything...

                  You should've pointed out that the Jet, when video recording in low-light conditions, has serious issues: The resolved detail decreases even more and most of all; the framrate drops below 15fps. It's actually quite terrible.

                    Hi,
                    Can this phone work as a 3G modem when connected to a PC?
                    Can we browse internet on the PC using this phone as the 3G modem?

                        Hi is it possible to disable the pop up blocker on the Samsung GT-S8000/S8003 Jet Dolphin Webkit Internet Browser? If so, how do you do it? TIA! :D

                            the best part of samsung jet is video player. nokia sucks in this ground until u use third party software with converter or nokia n900

                                I have a couple of questions for Jet owners:

                                1) does full Flash support in the browser mean you can play Facebook games and access FB apps?
                                2) can the video player play HD-quality DivX files without any lag or frame skipping?

                                I'm from the Philippines, btw, and would appreciate any good pointers where the Jet is sold cheap.

                                  found the phone very badly organised and would advise dont buy it since it stops receiving when there are over 500 messages even though memory is 75% free
                                  - pc studio software does not support backup
                                  - tilt does not work in phone mode
                                  - cant change or delete the annoying applications such as facebook which often initialise themselves in multiples
                                  - wont backup texts and does not search memory card for contacts
                                  etc etc
                                  - wait for the problems to be solved or if you want buy mine hgen@gmx.com

                                        Please help! I get an 'Unknown error' when trying to upload pictures from the Jet to Facebook (via 'upload to web' function in image viewer. I am able to select the facebook photo album I want to upload the photo to but when I select 'upload' it errors after about 20 seconds with 'Unknown error'. Is there a setting I can change? Is this a fault? Are the pictures too large?! Please help!
