The Samsung Jet is such a bag of features that it seems it will take ages for us to cover every base. So, we are taking a short-cut by doing this pictoral review. We’ll present screenshots and our comments.
Don’t forget that we still have our list of negatives coming up tomorrow or the day after. Feel free to post your comments, questions and requests please.
The Jet is a non-smartphone that is still impressing everyone here in many ways. But don’t forget that we are coming up with our list of things we do not like on the Jet after this. Yes; its a great phone, but it isn’t perfect.
In the meantime, enjoy the pictures and our comments!

Dynamic Canvas - This application lets you draw sketches in full colour using either your finger or a stylus. Results can be saved as image files or as a flash file - in which case when played back, the file plays as an animation, starting with your first stroke to the very last as you complete the image. Our in-house wanna-be artist did a sketch using his index finger. It is available for download below.
