Been using the S8003 version for the past 4 months and so far I can say if not for the lots of free applets/applications from the iphone (which I've been using for a couple of months back b4 I bought my Jet), the Jet would run over the iphone like an incoming train. The OS stability, the screen, the camera and video, the speaker,and the battery all out performs the iphone 3G- which tends to hang more.

I have owned numerous devices across all platforms and builds - the jet with a firmware update is amazing. I am going to stick with this device for quite a while...... the word 'jet' apptly describes this device :)

Jade, 01 Dec 2009Now i would add my opinion
-First of all i want to say that Nokia is creating nice device ... moreMost of the posts here, or mine at least, never said, dont buy the Jet and buy a Nokia.
Now to your points. Build quality. Take any Nokia you like and drop it from two meters high onto concrete and then drop the Jet and then come and tell us your reviews. No way Samsung has better build quality than Nokia.
Nokia phones or any other smartphone with symbian or windows OS, do NOT merely have as many problems as the JET. The jet is an impossible phone, unless you want to do functions we were doing 5 years ago. Too many softare issues, NO applications to download, way more difficult than average OS to use. Not intuitive. Too may problems when used for online browsing.
It is true that Nokia is behind in the touchscreen game. Something that I really cannot undestand. They only have a couple of touchscreen phones (different models, not upgrads, etc). But I cant wait for the time Nokia gets into this touchscreen market and starts rolling out dozens of touchscreen SMARTPHONES.
My suggestion is simply dont buy the JET. I am not saying dont buy Samsung. Omnia 2 is an amazing top Samartphone (except for its size). Samsung has other top range touchscreen smartphones. So does HTC and other companies.
If you can wait, wait until new touchscreen smartphones are announced from both Samsung and Nokia and other companies.
The Jet is not worth it in my opinion.

Jet Dont Buy, 01 Dec 2009I agree. So many problems.
Your list of problems is good but it only touches the surface. ... moreNow i would add my opinion
-First of all i want to say that Nokia is creating nice device for a cheap price but the build quality often is really bad. Im a Nokia fan and using for years nokia devices and at moment arent any for a price until 250 € which could beat the samsung jet.
- Of couurse u have open system S60 and much more options to get apps but the system laggs very often also the display quality is crappy. In samsung jet u have one of the best display on the market with sharp resolution and AMOLED technology.
If this phone have many software problems then i can agree this because i know that this exists but nokia devices have also this same problem.
That why we must update this devices to improve the productivity, right. I would prefer to buy a nokia device but i see the models 5530 and 5800 in this price range. Both have good specs but like i said it before : cheap build quality, bad camera, bad display
So that the reason why i will buy this device. Which nokia device is better in this class? Im sure not the 5800 or 5530 . Also the design looks very cool.
Can you recommend me one?
U will see that there arent many devices with good display, camera and look !

Hi,
I m looking for a new cell phone and the S8000 is maybe a good option. One of the things I want to know is if you can download applications like for the iPhone with Apple Store?
Thanks for your help

Anonymous, 01 Dec 2009See Jade I will explain u what kind of Jet is
Very first thing this is one of the worst ce... moreI agree. So many problems.
Your list of problems is good but it only touches the surface. I also want to correct you on something.
You talked about Java software that it is more limited than say software for symbian or windows or apple. And you are right, partly.
Java software (applications, not games) is not only limited BUT also 95% of the JAVA applications WILL NOT work. So you can safely say that there are NO applications for the Jet. It is not a smartphone, in any case.
Further than that, it has one of the worst Operating Systems. It sucks. It is difficult even for the average to good user. Most intuitive things, you will spend hours in forums in order to be able to do on this phone.
And what in the world is the Cube? Is that the supidiest thing ever or what? the most unecessary piece of crap ever.
Anyone who has spend any time in any forum, will already know that they are flooded about questions on how do to this and how to do that on the jet and why this does not work and why that does not work. You dont see this with other high end phones.
Jet users are happy when they see the specs, delighted when they unbox it, satisfied in the first week of use, and then, after using it for a few weeks, they discover that it sucks. Difficult to use it (I dont mean to call, access the internet, take photos or send messages - there is more than that to a phone - and if you want only that, then there are 50 euro phones by Nokia that do all that), features and pre installed applications stop working and new problems arising every day with phone, restarting, quality of the sound, taking pictures, losing the signal, you name it brother.
This phone is faulty. Do not buy.
Samsung should refund everyone who made the mistake and bought this phone. They should recall every piece of unit sold.
Everyone who is unhappy, use the voting results on the left of this screen
