The Brand New Samsung Jet S8000
Friday, September 12th, 2008The Smartphone that actually isn’t a Smartphone. This is what a lot of folks have been calling the new Samsung Jet S8000. Although it does have most of the features of a regular Smartphone, some still refuse to put it in this category. This is yet another unnecessary addition to the already blurry classification of Smartphones which as of yet still does not have a standard industry definition. Nonetheless, amidst all the confusion is a mobile device that is sure to impress its users regardless of what one may want to call it – Smartphone or otherwise.
A common feature shared by a number of Samsung devices (i.e. the Samsung I7500) is that they act like magnets for unwanted fingerprint smudge. This is probably the only negative when it comes to the S8000’s design and it is quite easy to disregard once all the other features are discovered.
Performance
Aside from a fully customizable user menu, what makes the S8000 so impressive (and perhaps akin to the dizzying heights of the Apple iPhone) is that it’s very fast and allows for a totally fluid and smooth navigation experience. It’s almost like using a capacitive touch screen; perhaps even better.
