14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung Jet is one of the latest mobile phones that the South Korean company has unveiled to the world, announced via a global event held in London, Dubai and Singapore on June 15, 2009. According to the phone maker, the new device is “smarter than a smartphone,” and it is expected to reach more than 70 countries all around the world in July.
At the same time, the company also announced that the Samsung Jet had seen an impressive number of pre-ordered units, namely 2 million. According to JK Shin, head of Mobile Communications Division, Samsung Electronics, due to its wide availability and the traction it sees on the market already, the new Samsung Jet has great chances of becoming one of the most popular handsets in the mobile phone maker's history.
The device comes to the market with a variety of high-end features, while also providing ease of use, especially when it comes to the user interface that the company has packed inside it. The menu navigations are user-friendly, while its features include multi-tasking, or support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.

It sports a 3.1-inch WVGA AMOLED display that supports up to 16M colors, as well as a resolution that is four times higher than that offered by a WQVGA screen. Moreover, the phone is powered by an 800MHz application processor that turns the phone into one of the fastest full-touch devices on the market today.
Other features of the handset also include the latest TouchWiz 2.0 UI from Samsung, as well as the company's Dolfin browser, which can offer easy and fast access to the Internet. Multiple downloading, ad-blocker, and multi-purpose address field are some of the capabilities the handset comes around with, not to mention the 5-megapixel camera, as well as its built-in GPS receiver or the DivX and XviD video support.
