No it’s not an iPhone or a Palm Pre, hell it’s not even running Android, but instead it’s Samsung’s previously unannounced Jet. This phone came seemingly out of no where but from the looks of the specs its shaping up to be an amazing device.
The phone features an 800MHz processor (as compared to the iPhone 3G S‘ 600Mhz) a 5MP camera, a 3.1-inch touchscreen AMOLED display, A-GPS, 2GB/8GB of internal storage with a microSD slot for an additional 16GB and last but not least a Samsung developed Webkit-touting web browser entitled Dolfin. OS wise its said to be running TouchWiz 2.0 which is a Samsung developed UI hoping to make for a more immersive and intuitive experience.
Now unfortunately there is no word on if we will ever see the Samsung Jet hit stateside but if/when it does its sure to generate quite the buzz. You can get more information on the Samsung Jet, courtesy of Samsung USA, here.

I was wondering if the UK model have Wi-Fi? The http://jet.samsungmobile.com/ website doesn’t state anything about this model having it and I emailed Samsung customer services to ask them and I got the reply ‘In response to your email regarding the wi-fi query. We can advise that this handset does not have the option for wi-fi.’ A lot of sites do state that the phone carries Wi-Fi, but none of them are official Samsung sites so I am led to believe different things. Share your view at http://www.SamsungJetForum.com a community for the future jet users when it’s released.
Hi,
We have managed to get our hands on this handset and I have had a play with it and I have been bowled over by it.
The features, usability and interface are second to none. I love the browser and it is extremely fast to use and the camera is 5mp compared to only 3mp on the iphone. The Samsungs fast keys are an excellent feature too where you flick on screen for quick and easy access to six key multimedia features.
All in all a fantastic handset which I recommend to anyone. If you have any questions then just email me and I can tell you more.
I have the Jet for a whole week now. Bought it here in the Netherlands.
Wi-Fi is good, Bluetooth works fast and pretty. Managed to get AmazeGPS on it (using the version for the Samsung A867 Eternity. Screen looks amazingly sharp and light. Touch it with a finger and also with a little wooden stick (handy!) which leaves no marks.
Down: mailclient does not read html mail, text size for Google Maps is tiiiiiiiiiiny, no setting for minimal text size in browser, the sleeve is a little too tight.
Oh, and they used a new connector so nothing on the market fits. Be warned not to lose your pc cable, which I carry around all day.
But it looks and reacts awesome!
I’m looking forward to have a Samsung Jet in the near future… I’m really excited about this gadget.
I am having trouble with my LGGT505 so orange are replacing it with the Samsung jet. I notice a post says it doesn’t read hot mail. Will it read GMail as my son lives in Australia and need to be able to access his mail from my phone . Thank you .
Im loving this phone, think its better than the iPhone.
