The touchscreen is very easy to use

I believe my phone is very modern looking and stylish. The touchscreen is very easy to use and the internet is also quite speedy. I like using the gps on my phone when I am making journeys. The camera is of reasonable quality. Overall I am pleased with it.

the touch screen takes a lot of getting used to

Looks good but the touch screen takes a lot of getting used to and needs re orientating frequently. Claims to do more than it actually does. It is often very difficult to open text messages from the main screen and gets very frustrating. The music player is good and the software provided with it is easy to use.

I have to say its truly amazing

Having been the owner of the Nokia N95 beforehand this is my first touchscreen phone and I have to say its truly amazing. The usability is really simple to use. Its fully customizable with changing wallpapers ringtones etc. Its got built in GPS and 5mp camera too.

you can write a letter on the screen and it unlocks

The Samsung Jet is definitely a feature packed phone, and even now, after 4 months of ownership, I'm still finding little neat quirks with it. The screen is very clear, and I find works much better when you use it with a stylus pen on it. Operation is very quick as well.

Negative points, one very annoying issue is that you can't physically lock the screen. On other phones you may need to put in a code or a button press sequence.

The Jet does have a neat little thing where you can write a letter on the screen and it unlocks. But you can also unlock it by keeping the top right hand button pressed, which is really annoying when you have it in your pocket or in a bag. You're forever finding that you've accidently unlocked the screen and then the phone calls people randomly from you contacts list. Seems to be a common problem with other Jet users and there appears to be no way around it. Simple feature, but it really lets the phone down.

love this phone, it looks great and is easy to use

Really love this phone, it looks great and is easy to use. I`ve always had Sony Ericsson handsets, and was worried about changing, But really glad I did, the only thing I find hard is downloading music from the pc, its not as easy as my old handsets have been.

the colours are really bold and bright

This phone looks really attractive. The display on the screen is fantastic and the colours are really bold and bright. The phone is really easy to use and has all the usual features of a mobile phone. Texting is quite easy and making calls is very simple. The memory is also good on this phone.

looks the part, but lacks the depth of utilities

The Samsung Jet looks stylish and sleek. It has some good features, the camera is very good quality (5MP), and it comes with facebook, youtube, google, widgets.

However, there is no GPS with the phone, even though it was advertised with GPS. It has google maps thats it. There are no apps to download onto the phone as yet, even though the phone has been on sale for months.

Until Samsung sort out this problem and make apps available, similar to those available for the iPhone, until then this phone is pretty standard. To summarise, this phone looks the part, but lacks the depth of utilities that a phone of this price should have.

Great phone, light weight and like the widget feature

The Samsung Jet is a great phone, very easy to use and looks great. Very lightweight as well.

I like the widget feature at the side allowing you to have easy access to the features you use most frequently.

Only drawback is sometimes touchscreen is not as responsive as it could be but is still very good and I've had no problems.
