Samsung Jet S8000. Nice.
As a Honda ad asked us recently (and rhetorically): isn’t it nice when things just work? Well, yes it is. And with the Samsung Jet S8000, Samsung will soon (although it’s not yet confirmed exactly when) be releasing something that doesn’t just work, but works very nicely indeed.
The main thing of note is the inclusion of the latest version of the TouchWiz software, the user interface that is now featuring in all of Samsung’s touchscreen releases. And for good reason: it’s intuitive, fully customisable (widgets wherever you want them) and, well, downright enjoyable to get to grips with. The sheer fact it was designed from scratch with touch users in mind (rather than being a shoddy conversion from a non-touch interface) tells you all you need to know. And thanks to the 800mhz processor (one of the best you’ll find on a mid-ranger), you can rest assured that whatever tasks you set of this thing it’s going to handle with aplomb. So whether you’re recording video, browsing up to five tabs at once on the internet (with another new addition – the Dolfin browser), uploading pictures to your Facebook using the handy ‘communities’ features, the Samsung Jet is going to handle it all.
And, not only is it nice when things work, it’s also nice when they look mighty fine too. And the Samsung Jet is no slouch in the design department either. In fact, we can’t really think of a better phone in this category when it comes to sheer pleasure in carrying/using. So, all-in-all, looks like Samsung are on to a winner with this little thing. Keep those ears pinned back for a release date, and in the meantime have a read of this Samsung Jet Review, and a look at this video:
