Samsung jet is ok phone, but the company has to do something about its SMS memory. The phone shows 500 sms memory, but in real it is only 200 sms. I had called Samsung, they hv suggested to move some sms to My folder. But still the memory was 200 sms. I hv complaint it to many sites but no one responds. Even SAMSUNG hv not responded yet.
