There is a lot to like about the Samsung Jet. Ignore the fancy cube interface (which is easily done), forget about shaking to switch apps (also easy to do), and concentrate on the core features, and this is a well put together and serviceable handset...

Samsung's J?©t has a lovely OLED screen with amazingly bright colours and a high, 800x480 resolution. Only LG's Viewty matches it for size, but the J?©t's screen blows the Viewty's away for quality. The 800MHz Qualcomm processor makes the J?©t feel zip...

Samsung's been toiling in the labs day and night to come up with the OLED screen on the Samsung Jet, and it's paid dividends. It's by far the most luscious we've ever laid eyes on in a phone, and threatens to make films watchable on a 3.1-...

Samsung says the Jet is "smarter than smartphone", which is a fib Pinnochio would gouge your eyes out with. It's not a smartphone, so there's no way to load up on third party apps, leaving you stuck with the programs Samsung has deigned to pre-ins...

The Samsung Jet's got us perplexed: it's powerful, beautiful and intuitive, but we don't get the point of a dumbphone that costs as much as a smartphone. It destroys the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and LG Arena, but unless you've never needed t...

The Samsung Jet is a handset that the Korean manufacturer can be very proud of. It’s packed with features and has exquisite looks, all of which are available at an appealing price. However, if you’re going to bill a handset as being ‘better than the...

The AMOLED screen sparkles and enriches everything from viewing your photos to watching your movies.

The onboard GPS left us reeling and nervous to use it for anything more than a rough ‘guestimate’ to your exact location.
