hey guys, i was thinking about buying samsung jet over nokia 5800. what do you guys think of samsung jet? is it good? camera, messaging, music, wifi? and im thinking of long term wise. thanks in advance smile.gif
*
pls do not get the 5800 nokia. i used for less than 1 mth sold it off. i sold of to a fren and later after 2-3 mth usage, the screen went KO but stillunder warranty.

bad camera, slow processor, OS not mature...etc

go for jet. but read some where after someone used 7 mths, screen went kaput too

thank you for the advice. and 1 more question, are samsung's phones good generally? in terms of their processor, camera, music and all? im thinking of buying jet but im scared like what you said, after 7 months, screen gone :S
*
probably those who owns this phone might not agree with me.

to me, i am still holding on to buy this phone is due to wait for latest phone f/w update, which is here d

the other is h/w issue. sorry guys, to me, some how samsung phones gives me the impression that it will not last even how careful u take care of it ohmy.gif

OMGoodness! Samsung Wave is coming soon, HTC releasing a string of Touch screen phones -and it's NOT WinMO - Wohooo!!!! Hmmm, shld i Still get the jet? Other phones have super Amoled, 720p recording, have an OS (Bada, Android..anything but WinMO) which can have future upgrades and application and 1GHZ micropro. But they would all be pricey and may take a looong time to hit our shore blush.gif

Very annoying with the 'smarter than smartphone'.

it's just a tag-marketing line.

only dumb ppl would be the one buying Jet and thinking it is a smartphone - hence that's why it is a smartphone - to bluff dumb ppl

There's no reason for you to get upset over a tagline...

Toyota is not moving forward anymore and Volvo is definitely not for life...are you going to start bashing them for the taglines too?

I was wondering what with this new Samsung Jet "2" that is launch in india recently. from what i read on the news and preview. the only difference is the different software with a dictionary included. Im confuse, is it new phone or just new firmware
*

I'm selling at this price smile.gif

Actually i think those selling higher give you freebies also screen protector those right?
*
no offence, but i prefer to buy from a shot lot or a mall.

any issue, i just go back to them.

they become my middle man.

they still take to samsung for repair - but at least they open from 10am-10pm and 7 days a week smile.gif

rm1330, that the best price they offer with screen protector

million thanks to dahool00 for accompanying me to the shop today and showing me the ropes. i went back to get the screen protector afterwards, did I miss anything else?

loving my new samsung jet.. just need to get used to the keypad..

my firmware :
<SW VER>
S800MDXIL3
<CSC VER>
S8003OLBIL1
*
GOOD
1. love the smart unlock
2. with the new f/w - very smooth touch

BAD
1. Samsung PC studio crap - cannot install on Vista and XP machine? Pls suggest.
2. No auto keypad lock customize timer - but can live with that
3. Vibration setting and motion gate are just gimmick
4. No "Send message" option on the the miss call event (just "Call back" and "Exit")
5. no Smart dialling shakehead.gif but knew that earlier

where to download Wallpaper? (Zip file rather one by one)

more later...

@1. same, mine cannot install NPC too (something about USB driver error) but I'm doing fine with the mass storage..
  2. are you sure? the touch screen for mine doesn't lock on itself.. every time it goes dark, the touch screen will be locked but if you press either one of the three buttons or the lock touchscreen button then the screen will come back up.. it only locks if I press the lock screen button. Before this every time the screen goes dark I would think that the touch screen is locked and press the lock screen button, I didn't know that I was actually locking the screen by doing this..
3. cannot manage to get the motion gate to work too, but vibration is ok..

another prob is the video editor.. I cannot seem to import sound and video files into the editor.. only pictures, which means I can only make slide shows.  doh.gif

Worried about battery life.

Started using since 7/March 7am and I didn't use that extensively. now, (8/March, 3pm), 3/5 bars left

hopefully batt gets better as i charge it

how many days can yours last in one full charge? i keep using mine all the time and it drains very quickly..

i came across this : http://www.techmostwanted.com/tips/how-to-...attery-lifespa/

have a look, though i dunno how true is it.. try if you want..
*
i read the post. hehe, every phone seller say charge 8 hrs for the 1st time smile.gif hehe, i followed.

anyway, this is a full touch screen and it will draw power a lot. but Amoled suppose to use less power consumption.

other thing u might want to do is don't use 3G, use GSM 900/1800

also, i turn off the vibration/haptic feedback

and you might want to decrease the brightness

up till today, 2/5 bar after 2 days with minimal usage - mostly setting up the phone.

this phone has toooooooooo many customization until it's tiring to do so. I set caller ringtone for Group in Normal Profile and I MUST set the same for other profile (meeting, outdoor..)- i thot it would be connected thru out the profiles

anyway, still a great phone.

wifi, find a bit annoying, i connet to website and it turn on the wifi by itself and if it cannot detect/connect to a wifi, it stays on forever. sometimes u forget, wifi is always on. suggestion??

i'm afraid the only way to turn it off is manually.. lol.. how do I 'don't use 3g'? how to swap to GSM 900/1800?

i also need your help with this, 1. I can't seem to add contacts into favourite list, do I need to be connected to the internet to do so?
                                            2. How do you activate the fake call?


Added on March 9, 2010, 11:09 am

ok, found the settings under 'network settings'.. what about the other 2 problems?
*
battery died after 3 days of useage - minimum.

hope the battery will improve as it charge/discharge

i found out that the vibration is not good, except for Silent profile where u can set the vibration intensity.

so, in other profile, u will miss a call if ur ringtone is not loud enuff.

"NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES.TRY CLOSING SOME APPLICATIONS AND TRY AGAIN"
- still happens on new firmware as I got the jet 1 week ago sad.gif (probably need to get an external miscro SD as someone suggested. I saw IT hypermarket selling Toshiba 2GB for RM25 smile.gif
- the aboev happen to me when my battery bar is showing one. Coincidence?- after full re charge and i try to reproduce this bug, it does not appear anymore - dunno lar...maybe battery to low cannot do multitaskng lio -hehe

- battery life really sucks, i dunno why u guys claim it is good

- in lock mode, when the someone calls, i pick up the phone, and after phone call conversation is over, it does not lock itself (good to have)

- vibration intensity not strong other than in Silent profile sad.gif

-overall, good phone lar
