Samsung Jet S8003 review

Here is a new entrant in the fast growing smart phone market in India, Samsung Jet.

A quick look at its features tells us that Jet is 3G enabled with HSDPA 7.2MBPS speed, has a 5 mega pixel camera, has extremely good video recording capability, has video calling capacity, can push email, has a full touch screen, can tune into radio besides making your listen to its music player, has a GPS system, has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. So one can surely say that it has pretty much everything that a Smart Phone should have.

Going into the details, the first thing to talk about is the operating system. I think that Samsung has gambled  by using their own Proprietary OS. Remember Samsung Omnia HD, the most popular Samsung smart  phone? It has a most reliable Nokia Symbian OS v9.4, Series 60 v5.0.

You may ask how is Samsung’s OS compared to Symbian, and the answer for that can only be obtained once t  this OS make a walk for few days. Is it reliable, does it have an easy UI, can it run the widely available .sis  format software’s and many other questions will have an answer some time later.

Now coming to the product itself, one of the distinct features of Samsung Smart phones is their huge looking  screen and this is no different with Jet’s 3.1 inch full touch screen.

The camera in this phone may not be of the level of Samsung Pixon at 8mp which Samsung claims to be  the World’s first smart phone with 8mp capacity, but has a decent 5mp camera with 4x optical zoom  and a dual power LED flash.

The music player is something to talk about which has a nice and new 3D sound technology that you may  have seen in a 5.1 channel music system.

It’s well designed for the Office folks too with built in Document viewer, Mobile printing using PictBridge, Voice Memo Voice mails and emails with POP3/IMAP/MS Exchange active Sync.

The HTML Browser too isn’t Nokia’s OSS browser but a Samsung Web Dolphin browser.

The Internal memory is a good 2GB with the capability of extending the external memory up to 16GB.

Samsung claims that the talktime can last up to 9 hours when fully charged and up to 500 hours when in Stand by.

But here is something that you may not like, the price which is at the Rs.20000 mark.

Brands such as Samsung Star were popular as they are stuffed with features and yet available at only around Rs.10000 mark.

One has to wait and see how Samsung fares with Jet S2003.
