den the gps got navigation?

If GPS is your main concern, please look elsewhere.

Samsung Jet's GPS in Malaysia is as good as not functioning right now =P

And I believe this is a media centric phone, the GPS is only an accessory.

interesting comments and reviews.. am considering the JET too, but one thing to ask..

how is the battery life? i'm curious~ my first 3G phone is really bad at battery life :\

usually i make on average 6-7 calls in a day and SMS quite a lot and ocassionaly use the web when i'm away from my comp. i don't play music from my hp..

batt is around 2 days for ur usage pattern.

if u don't use 3G at all, turn it off and use GSM instead. it saves a lot of battery.

in my case, i uses 3G broadband for internet/twitter/etc. avg calls, lots of sms .... batt is 1day+.

plus thing is you can use the usb cable to charge! so, if batt is low, plug ur cable to laptop/desktop for instant recharge.

Also, DONT WAIT for it to fully charge it (via usb cable) cuz it doesn't have mechanism to STOP CHARGING once batt is full.

only charge via usb if batt is really low. once at an acceptable capacity, plug it off. get the official charger to fully charge the unit (it's safer).

Hi,

just got a Jet.

usually how long it takes to fully charge the bat via charger? the ori charger CAN stop charging the phone right?

after putting on the screen protector, the touch screen is less sensitive especially for scrolling the icons. am i correct?

thanks.

@zheilwane - samsung jet don't support Garmin GPS?

of course the charger is *smart* don't worry. if it kills ur phone, warranty will be in effect because it's defective.

i got screen protector, works fine. but it may be subjective too cuz JEt is my first touchscreen phone, so i have no past experiences to compare with

Why can't phone makers put in at least a 1500 miH battery in their phones as a rule. Even the E71 comes with a 1500 miH battery. Gives longer user time.

there are both technological and economical reasons.

& design.

1500mh might be good. But the large design might disrupt the overall dimension of the phone. This phone is fancy enough to lug around. I just love the back panel cover design.

whats the default password for s8003?

I tried to On the phone lock for Jet, bt it require me to enter a 4-8 digit password. Before this i have not set any password. So i would like to know the default password.

so any of you have other problems with the Jet? the screen and the cover is made of plastic izzit.. u think it's durable or not? at least for 4-5 drops in a span of a year or two.. hehe

i think the Jet is suitable for those who want a simple phone but with good spec.. it's more than enuff for the avg user. nice nice ^^,

the back cover looks like a BBQ grill

yayy got my Samsung Jet
bought it at RM1660 (wisma saberkas kch) with 1.5gb int memory + 4gb ext memory. FMG warranty..
the original firmware is S8003DXIG2.. asian firmware, Maxis branded..

still exploring the phone.. will try to flash it later~

overall so far, it's a good phone.. may not be as 'cool' as capacitive touchscreens, but the phone is pretty fast and it's great in terms of functions~ worth it.

thank u all for the helpful infos u posted here..

hmm...
Im currently using LG Cookie and planning to change phone.
Was impressed by Omnia2 but off my budget.

So currently considering SE w995 n Sam Jet.
I wonder which is better..

any suggestions?

thanks.

go for Samsung Jet...
u will not regret..

agree with you..i really2 like the back cover design..looks solid and beauty although its made of plastic
