Samsung Jet S8000 Review

July 19th, 2009 admin 2 comments

Samsung recently launched the Samsung Jet mobile phone and we were finally able to get our hands on it. It’s called Jet because of its speed and Samsung is promoting it with the slogan “Impatience is a virtue.” According to Samsung, it is “the must-have product for those who live fast paced lives and want to pack more of everything into their day.

To live up to its claim, the phone features an 800MHz CPU which is theoretically faster than the processor used in the iPhone 3GS. From our experience, applications launch quickly. It also features 2GB of storage that can be expanded to 16GB. The handset also features HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth 2.1.

The phone has everything you need on the inside but the first thing you’ll notice is its screen. The phone features a beautiful 3.1 inch WVGA AMOLED screen. The screen has a resolution of 800×480 and displays 16 million colors. It’s the best screen I’ve seen on a mobile phone.

What also stands out is how small the phone is. The phone measures in at 108.8 x 53.5 x 11.9 mm but it’s difficult to explain how small it feels until holding it for yourself. It fits well in the pocket and is a pleasure to carry around.

The Jet S8000 runs Samsung’s OS called Samsung Handset Platform or SHP. It’s one of the first Samsung phones to use the Cubic-style menu. Spinning the cube is fun but also a bit cumbersome on a practical basis. We also found the touchscreen was a bit resistive and worked better with the stylus than our fingers.

Samsung plans to release a SDK for developers to build applications in the future but for now, they have around 30 widgets available. The phone features Microsoft Exchange support through ActiveSync. You can browse the Web with their Dolphin browser that is based on Webkit 3.0.

There is also a 5.0 MegaPixel camera included. The picture quality on the Samsung Jet was excellent for a phone in its class and there’s a dual LED flash to help in dark environments. The camera also features autofocus, smile detection and digital zoom. The camera can also record video.

Samsung has been releasing an impressive array of mobile phones recently. The AMOLED screen, fast processor and size make the Samsung Jet one of the best phones in its class but we were left disappointed with the user interface. Overall, we give the Samsung Jet S8000 4 stars out of 5.

Why Samsungish?

July 16th, 2009 admin No comments

We’ll we kinda wrote the why here: About Samsungish , but I thought we should post once here as well.

Samsung Flash memory based Products

Basically…

Why SAMSUNGISH??

Pfft! That’s so un-Samsungish for you to ask.

The lite version of the Samsung Omnia

Because Samsung is freakin everywhere.

And I don’t mean “everyone google’s it when they search” kinda pathetic “everywhere”.

I mean freakin—wake up and heat up some eats in your Samsung microwave, go to work at Samsung advertising company (Cheil) in you Samsung car, where your come up with a Samsung TV Ad on your Samsung chip runned Samsung computer (which you look at on your Samsung monitor) while downloading some Samsung mobile apps, then on your way back to your to Samsung apartment building, you stop at the Samsung (owned) restaurant chain for dinner and then then buy some Samsung line of groceries and Samsung camera with your Samsung credit card at the Samsung department store /mall.  Just don’t get in an car accident when you do so or you’ll need to call up your Samsung car insurance agent to upgrade your Samsung Life insurance—kind of everywhere.

And that’s not to mention if you don’t happen to be riding on a Samsung ship or tank.

I’m sorry …what was the question?

WTF is Samsung? (Samsung background)

Samsung?

Is a made up brand word from the Korean words meaning “three” and “star” (ie:  tristar” or “three stars”) which reflect its three multinationals form the core industries: electronics, heavy industries and engineering & construction  (though you’d be very hardpressed to find something Samsung is NOT making or doing business in nowadays.

Background:

The Samsung Group (Korean: 삼성 그룹, Hanja: 三星 그룹  – pronounced  “Sahm sung” (like “ahhh”–NOT “Sam” like “Pam”) is the world’s largest conglomerate (i.e.:  “a multi-industry corporation”, or the combination of two or more firms engaged in entirely different businesses) by revenue, and is headquarted in Seoul, South Korea.

It is also South Korea’s largest chaebol and composed of numerous international affilated businesses, most of them united under the Samsung brand, including Samsung Electronics, the world’s largest electronics company (and the largest, most successful division of Samsung), Samsung Heavy Industries, one of the world’s largest shipbuilders and Samsung Engineering & Construction, a major global construction company.

Samsung has been the world’s most popular consumer electronics brand since 2005 and is probably the most recognized or well-renowned South Korean brand in the world (or maybe Hyundai cars — but I’m going with Samsung).  Samsung Group accounts for more than 20% of South Korea’s total exports and is the leader in many domestic industries, such as the retail, automotive, chemical, and financial, entertainment industries.

Again, its more a challenge to find something Samsung does NOT make or do business in, rather than list what it does.
