The Samsung Jet, which is also known as the Samsung S8000, is a touch screen smartphone released in June 2009 by the second biggest mobile phone manufacturer in the world, Samsung. The device is powered by an 800 MHz processor and features a browser called Dolfin, which is beginning to be shipped with all new Samsung handsets. The Samsung Jet prides itself on speed, and you’ll be hard pressed to find a quicker phone. Switching between menus, surfing the Internet, checking emails, sending texts are all fairly rapid on the Jet, and the display is AMOLED, meaning it’s crystal clear and of an extremely high resolution. The screen is also touchscreen and measures 3.1 inches - it features a 800 x 480 pixel display. A 5 megapixel camera is a nice addition, as is the 2GB/8GB of internal storage memory, with a microSD slot for an additional 16GB. The videos recorded by the phone are at a very nice D1 resolution. The aforementioned Dolfin Internet browser is designed for users to surf the Internet, but especially social networking sites, with absolute speed. You can actually view up to five web pages at once with Dolfin, and even bookmark your favourites. Plus, there’s a built in ad-blocker, multiple downloading and background downloading feature, and multi-purpose address field. The latest version of the TouchWiz interface that comes loaded onto the Jet is a glorious addition, and extra touches such as smart unlock, where you trace a shape on the screen to unlock it, or flip to silent, turn the Samsung S8000 Jet from a good smartphone, into an exceptional one. Samsung, despite being the second biggest mobile phone manufacturer around, will be looking to overtake Nokia over the coming years, and with releases like the Jet, it’s not hard to see how that may become a reality.
