i mean, just because of those reasons Jet was out of the smartphone category?

Does a smartphone have to have ALL the capabilities and functionality of a pc?

yes..
if not then how do you define a smartphone??

How about a portable pc that can make phone calls? lol

I think there is no precise definition that constitutes the term "smart" in smartphone. Phones are getting ever smarter and it's only a matter of time before all phones have the advanced levels of functionality associated with today's smartphones.

Not really, my current phone no GPS , but I'd like my next phone to have one so I can stop getting lost in Ampang & Klang & Muar & Subang &... well everywhere except KL & Penang actually.

Maybe someone can recommend GPS software?

simple: [Jet] mimics [a smartphone] mimics [a portable pc]

the reason why Jet is not called a smartphone not because of features, but simply because it doesn't rely on a PC-like OS (WinMo vs Windows)

there's good n bad of this approach (using PC-like OS):-

bad: mobile phone maker will be limited to mobile OS architecture like WinMo. like HTC, they have to add-on their own OS layer on top of WinMo just to have extra features/functions (i call it hybrid-WinMo )

good: mobile apps and support would be easily supported across all manufacurers. Ur WinMo-based apps can run on HTC's or Samsung's or other; as long as they use WinMo.


similar to proprietary OS (like Samsung's ToucWiz); u get extra creative apps/features running. But the down side is there's not much app or support available. you're basically depends on Samsung to come out with the app or wait for Samsung to release a SDK for 3rd party developers to develop apps.

is it really better than iphone?

ya..atm, smartphone categories only goes for symbian, iphone, blackberry, etc..

Samsung OS, LG a newly develop OS, so it'll take time to develop a stable OS..

in 2 or 3 years there'll be more OS and i'm sure Samsung Touchwiz OS will be one of it...

Samsung will be launching their own Samsung Application Store thi year,
and info from Samsung Malaysia, there'll will be application store also for Samsung phone that use Touchwiz UI..

these are all the process to make TouchWiz as the smartphone platform OS in the near future..

i think samsung cant compatible with 3rd party software. i really hope they can have garmin.

hi dauf,i have a couple of questions to ask,hope that you can help,
1. when you streaming youtube,does the video distorted due to the screen resolution is to high for the youtube video resolution?
2.does the music player remember the last track played once you exit the music player?
3.the phone you have is it a 2Gb built-in memory storage?i saw some website shows it has 8Gb and 16 Gb as well.
4.and does the phone lag when there is too many files such as mp3 and pictures inside the internal memory or external memory?
5.Is the rendering speed of the dolphin browser fast?
Thanks

1) No distortion, its the same as when u open youtube in pc
2) Yes, if u open the music player through widget or cube shortcut, it'll directly go to the last played music
3) Yup im using the internal 2Gb memory..i think in Malaysia, they only sell the 2GB internal memory..ive called many samsung shop before i bought mine, they only sell 2GB version...maybe later they'll release the 8GB/16GB version
4) Till now, i dont experience any lagging when opening pictures, musics, videos..although i have a large sum of media files
5) I usually open all this website using my phone:
- cari.com.my
- tomshardware.com
- therepublikofmancunia.com
- youtube.com

i can say it render it perfectly, fast and same as using pc..BUT when i'm surfing youtube, it render the website a bit slow..maybe becos of many flash in youtube..maybe becos of that..

thanks for your reply:) so you are using external memory card as well?by the way,is there a copy and paste text function?what do you think about its audio quality on earphone.Thanks:D

yup, since internal memory 2GB is too small, you should use external memory, Samsung Jet can support until 16GB memory..

audio quality on earphone is good, it have the optional 5.1 sound effect function, so it'll give surround sound..

Media function of Samsung Jet is very good, both audio & video..

some questions:

1) Does it support tethering? i.e. using 3G broadband on Jet with connected to PC/laptop?

2) Since the SIM/microSD slot is not covered by the battery, can hotswap the microSD card? Can hotswap SIM card too?

thx!

1.So does it has copy and paste text function?
2.does it has that iphone's function when editing the text with that small magnifying glass to make it precise to which alphabet to correct.

1) tethering, dont really know about that, never try it..i'll seearch bout it

2) u can hotswap microSD only, not SIMcard..

Added on July 31, 2009, 11:46 pm1) no, dont have copy and text function..only copy paste on files..
