Samsung Jet Smartphone Unveiled Jet Features & Specifications Now Official

Samsung have officially unveiled their new, and already highly
anticipated smartphone - the Samsung Jet - which, apart from boasting a
800MHz CPU, runs Samsung's TouchWiz 2.0, 3D media gate and full motion
response UIs as well as custom widgets.

The Samsung Jet, which sports a 800 x 480 resolution 3.1 16M color
AMOLED touchscreen display as well as a 5 megapixel camera complete with
dual LED flash (offering Face Detection, Smile Shot, Blink Detection),
integrated GPS, full featured video and audio player functionality
(including DivX and XviD support) was officially announced as follows
(see bottom of post for at-a-glance specifications):

SAMSUNG JET: 'SMARTER THAN A SMARTPHONE'

Samsung Mobile is proud to launch the Samsung Jet - a high end
innovation to mark a new chapter in full touch phones. Packed with
features, Samsung Jet delivers the very best in power, speed and
brilliance, all housed in a sleek and stylish design, to produce a
unique touch experience.

Smart features with user-friendly interface

Jet's innovative smartphone-like features take the handset to the realms
of being 'smarter than a smartphone'. Opening up a whole new world of
web experience, its high performance Dolfin web browser has been
developed in-house and allows easy, super fast surfing. Samsung Jet also
supports the option of multi-window browsing to surf several web pages
simultaneously - up to five pages at any one time. Also, it allows for
multi-window web browsing and for book marking widget to save your
favourite websites. Samsung Jet features a bespoke multi-tasking
manager, making it little bit easier. In addition, the multiple
background download, multi-purpose address field and ad-blocker ensure
users only need to focus on what they really want to. Samsung Jet is the
first feature phone to adopt the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync Email
system, with a more convenient user interface as a result of more
streamlined push-email for business users. Breaking away from
multi-touch zoom technology which requires the use of two fingers and
two hands, Samsung Jet gives our consumers the ultimate in usability,
portability and convenience through the brand-new concept - 'one finger
zoom,' which enables one hand operation to zoom in and out. One finger
zoom can be used not only for the Internet browser, but also for Photo
browser and file viewer to see TXT, PDF and PPT files in four times
bigger size - all just with one finger tip while you're on the move.

An Ultra Brilliant Display with AMOLED

The Samsung Jet has a display which offers unrivalled quality and
brilliance for its users. The 3.1 Samsung WVGA AMOLED display is four
times sharper than a WQVGA screen. Samsung Jet's screen provides
stunning, super bright and vivid images in perfect natural colours, with
the very best high resolution display for viewing multimedia on the go.
Samsung Jet's ultra brilliant display has a 180 degree viewing angle,
gives a super fast touch response and is also very efficient in its
power consumption. Thanks to WVGA AMOLED technology, Samsung Jet
consumes 40% less energy than a mobile phone equipped with TFT-LCD
display. The remarkable image quality transforms mobile content into
amazing visuals. Thanks to the 480dpi brilliance in its WVGA AMOLED
display, Samsung Jet provides a high quality multimedia experience,
transforming mobile video into pure viewing pleasure.

Speedy Performance with an Accelerated Application Processor

Samsung Jet takes the meaning of performance in full touch mobile phones
to another level with its revolutionary speed, which is all thanks to
the 800MHz Accelerated Application Processor. This sophisticated high
performance processor is Jet's secret to speed and versatility,
integrating multiple applications into one marvelously seamless
experience. Instant response from a 3D touch interface matches the speed
of touch. The accelerated application processor can integrate various
functions such as navigation and viewing, so users can access them all
without usual lag time or blurred visuals that can disrupt the pleasure
of the experience.

Intuitive Interaction with TouchWiz 2.0

To ensure the most hassle free and pure experience for its user, Samsung
Jet features TouchWiz 2.0 user interface (UI), an upgrade from previous
TouchWiz user interfaces seen on the F480 (Tocco in UK) and other
Samsung full touch mobiles. Building on the strong reputation of the
interface of the F480, Samsung Jet houses an advanced TouchWiz 2.0,
giving outstanding touch capability in online browsing and a powerful
and responsive reaction. Multiple applications run both seamlessly and
simultaneously through the use of Jet's powerful application processor,
enabling users to dip in and out of the features as they wish. With its
intuitive 3D media gate UI and motion-response UI, users can enjoy a
dynamic, content-based experience. The 3D media gate on Samsung Jet
offers easy access to six key multimedia features, such as Photo album,
Music player, Video player, FM Radio, Games and internet, all simply
accessed by rolling a six sided cube UI on the screen. Samsung Jet
features 'motion gate', Samsung's own motion recognition engine which
brings you access to your multimedia favorites as well as speed dialing
just by tapping, tilting or flipping the handset. To enhance the
usability in full touch screen, Samsung introduces 'smart unlock', a
feature which enables users to unlock the phone and execute the menu
directly by drawing an alphabet letter on the screen. Users can set up
the menu that they want to go to directly according to the alphabet
letters from A to Z. The 'smart unlock' technology allows users to
programme their own, customised movements in order to operate the
handset, bringing the ultimate in personalisation. Samsung Jet has an
online widget function to access useful mobile applications and get live
information such as weather, news and search engines by online widget
downloading. There are more than 30 widgets already available on Samsung
Jet and users can download more from the website. These include a
personalisation widget to adapt the screen layout and wallpaper. A
three-page main menu and three-page widget screen offer quick and easy
application search and reuse.

Powerful, Fun and Easy to use Features

Samsung Jet also has an A-GPS application, to provide navigation
services in life-like 3D, to convey real places, information and
directions in real-time. This incorporates 3D Map Navigation, GPS on
Google maps and location-Based Services. The GPS system features
Geo-tagging, enabled through a Geo- magnetic sensor to send location
information and updates on traffic conditions by SMS, link location
information to navigation, and a compass. Samsung Jet's GPS application
can run on 'Drive to' or 'Walk to' modes. When it comes to music,
Samsung Jet's unique features give users the option to operate
simultaneous playback audio and scroll through the phone's music library
with superb sound quality. For video, the DVD-like video playback
recording (with D1 Video Playback and D1 30fps Video Recording) enables
seamless playback without residuals and the ability to instantly
download and play DivX and Xvid formats without converting, resizing and
lateration - all in HD-like quality on its brilliant AMOLED screen.
