I own a Nokia E71 (Symbian) and use it mostly with Google Maps and Internet browsing - because its browser works fine for my needs and has Flash support so I can watch full YouTube videos. But I am longing for a fullscreen, 3G-enabled feature phone from Samsung because I don't like the miniscule keypad on E71. Now there is S8000 and I8000 coming. So I have a few questions.
a) Can you use Google Maps the same way it can be used in a Nokia running Symbian? Are all the same functionalities there or is it hindered, forcing the user to pay for Route 66?
b) Is web browsing as good as with Symbian? The Symbian browsers are accredited to be the finest you can get on smartphones.
c) What are the real differences between S8000 and S8003?
d) For recharging, does it already use microUSB or still the old plug (same as J700, G600, D880, B5702, C5212, E746, E215, M310...)?

Hi all,
May I ask how to check the total call time for Jet. As I am receiving my new phone soon. (To make sure the new phone is not used before by others.)
Thanks.

Andy, 04 Jul 2009At what point is this NOT a smart phone. I used to have an... moreIm verry interested on buying the phone. Since u have It I would like to know if it has document viewer and editor.

At what point is this NOT a smart phone. I used to have an HTC tytn II. The Jet does all of what that did and more, and it's much easier to use.
The Touch screen is way more responsive than the Blackberry storm, Data connection is good, again way better, quicker and more stable than the HTC.
Had this for just over 24 hours now and I can't fault it at all. I can take a picture and instantly upload it to facebook, which with the HTC Tytn II was a nightmare, if it would even upload.
The Jet is by far the best phone I have ever had. Only issues I have found so far is that playing a vid from youtube, the vid is fuzzy, that could just be the quality of the vid though. The only other thing is that the route66 navigation is not installed by default, I have gone though and installed it, but at £89 for 12 months just for a map of the UK, then £9.99 each for things like traffic, speed cams, weather... I looking for an alternative.
The 800mhz Processor is fast, applications take 1 - 2 seconds at the most, and it multi tasks better than my Windows XP PC. you can just keep opening stuff and it doesn't lag.
All in all I am very impressed with this phone. It was either this or the Nokia N97, I defo made the right choice.

I bought the Jet a week ago and I'm very happy with it, except for the poor OS memory management. Sometimes zooming in on a website will result in a memory overflow and there is not enough memory reserved for downloading widgets, SAMSUNG DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!
