Unbelievable that samsung made this phone, forgot the most important thing which is to make it a smartphone and then tried to trick everyone by calling it smarter than a smartphone. Maybe it is smarter than the dumb people at samsung but thats about it.
What a shame. This phone could have been great but it is just a meaningless soulless device.
I would like to buy another phone but dont know which one. any suggestions?

I used Jet for a month but thats enough to make me bored. Total of support from Samsung made this mobile tiger without its teeth and claw. Who ever says many JAVA application available for this is either don't own the mobile or don't know what is JAVA. I am selling this phone and eve before selling I've purchased Nokia 5530. Though less feature than this, but I should say being a smarter than smartphone actually makes it dumber.
Those who want to buy the phone, remember..
This is not a smart phone.
Several simple function is unavailable.
It's video playback is good but limited to certain file types only.
It looks great and features great and feels great.

2. I never owned a nokia. I had Sony E, then moved to HTC phones and this was the first Samsung phone i ever had
3. I dare you to find a comment by me in this forum were I say the Jet costs 100 euros. I never did, you are lying and this is just redicilous, especially when I just mentioned that I sold my Jet for 195 euros which is 300 UDS. Where do you get these stuff?
4. There are java applications but obviously you never bothered downloading one or you would have known that 90% of java apps dont work. Have you ever downloaded any apps in your life.
5. I will not even discuss if the Jet is THE best non smartphone. Your statements are too definitive and that cant be right, ever.
You need to losen up a bit. Chill. We are just talking and expressing our opinions in a democratic fashion. Where you from buddy?

Just managed to sell it for 195 euro on ebay. I suggest you sell it soon as prices are dropping fast on this phone (use to go for 360 just a few weeks ago). I took a big loss.

Got it in less than a week.
My personal opinion - really lacking of:
1. don't even support copy & paste.
Other cheap brand like Sony Ericsson support this simple feature, but not Samsung Jet. Hey...don't tell me copy & paste is Windows proprietry feature.
2. GPS Software
When I complaint to Samsung, they first told me that Samsung will come out with FREE GPS software. Then come the money-oriented story -> it is NOT FREE.
3. Battery - not up to the standby/usgae time as claimed in the specs.
So far, regret to spend RM1.7K for this junk. Not sure

I do not know the reason why. If Jad/Jar files do not install directly, these can be installed via WAP download or TKExplorer. Some users say via bluetooth (download to PC then to fone via BT.)

You will be lucky if you get one java application out of 10 working. Thats why this is not a smartphone
