Samsung Jet S8000. A smartphone with AMOLED display.

Said to be better than iPhone 3G.

Actually... correction.. its a normal feature phone with an AMOLED display...

Actually it's not a bad phone~~~~but of course cannot compare to mighty OMNIA HD,
SAMSUNG S8000 JET price will be around Rm 1800

i dont see anyone selling at garage sale yet..

usually it won't be so fast in the distribution channel.

try asking around Samsung shops/counters in shopping malls.

On Saturday the Samsung shop in Gardens had 1 unit available for RM2100! Salesguy told me that they only received 3 units on Friday.

So is this Jet pretty much the same as Omnia or a different one altogether?

Completely different. The jet isn't part of the "Omnia" series that Samsung is rolling out - different OS, & technically not a smartphone.

OS samsung will always lose to iphone interface. They only put more features and mostly steal another ppl OS and use like WinMo

I see. Thanks for clarifying.


So among all others in its class, iPhone would probably win UI-wise?

to compete against iphone, a HP must have a unified platform OS like winmo or symbian or android, without it theres limited software to function leading to downfall

Malaysian are spoilt by Garmin on symbian and winmo, due to this if the only GPS is a propietary programme running on flash OS then it not gonna succeed. Hell, i even doubt abt the gps maps for Malaysia.
