Jet, 16 Sep 2009The interesting thing about this phone is that although eve... moreCaren, in the sex and the city film, threw away an iphone as she said it was too complex to use. Anyone who doesn't like tech should not get a touch phone. This is one of the easier ones to use.

okidoki, 16 Sep 2009The ringtone volume is loud?
does it have better plastic m... moremuch better build then the 5800.
but its still plastic - at least nothing wobbles.
My first one I gave back, as it had a defect on the screen (a big smudge in the middle). but the second one is fine.

The interesting thing about this phone is that although everyone says it is easy to use, if you check this and other forums everyone is having a ton of questions on how to do this and how to do that. This is not happening with especially the iphone but even other touch screen phones, so I am guessing that this phone is not as intuitive at all.

Oh, and it needs to blow me as well

Just to answer a whole load of questions here:
1. Yes a 800x480 is far superior to a 320x240 screen. And OLED is noticeably better then LCD. However you are limited by how much the manufacturer uses it in their software. SAMSUNG use it in the browser and home screen, but not much in the rest of their apps.
2. This is not a SMART phone. Therefore you are limited to the inbuilt software and extra JAVA apps you can install. Saying that the inbuilt software is comprehensive and covers: facebook (link), youtube, email (pop & imap), browser, weather (accu), google mail, google search, CNN mobile, kelkoo search, myspace (link), notepad and a bunch of other widgets that can be shown at will.
3. There is no MS office capability.
In summary, this is a very well designed touch screen phone which is a pleasure to use and does most of what folk want it to do. I especially like the leather case included which allows you to answer the phone without taking it out of the case! However it is not a smart phone and is not a natural competitor for an HTC Hero, Magic, Diamond 2 or a Nokia N97 say. That does have advantages, as the Jet does what is says on the Tin reliably, and doesn't get over complicaterd fiddly or crash all the time (at least mine never crashes with the latest firmware).

Do you really feel that the screen with its high resolution and AMOLED is way superior to ''normal'' screens? specially 240*320 ones?
I mean even the Omnia HD and the Idou have lower resolution and Omnia2/HTC Diamond 2 65k only...it's perhaps the best screen ever!

Jet, 15 Sep 2009Widgets are not applications, so even if more widgets are c... moreIts a matter of taste. I had an iphone for 3 months. I also had an HTC Magic. I liked the magic much more then the iphone. The user interface of android is truely stunning for a first generation OS.
BTW You are right about widgets. But an SDK would be great and if SAMSUNG open out the os it would be great.
In terms of comparison with the iphone, this is less then half the price, has a higher resolution screen, a better camera and a faster CPU. I think the OS (on the latest firmware) is pretty amazing. Good browser (not as good as android or iphone but still fine to sue), reliable (I mean toshiba takes bog std WM 6.1 and mucks that up), easy to use. For sending emails, sms, music, browsing, and yes, normal tlephone calls, the jet is a really solid phone. nice to use. and comes with a case! which you don't even have to take off to answer, nice!. I think this is a great package. I hope Samsung stick with TouchWiz. I love competition
