Do you remember the times when the most important feature of a PC (according to brochures) was its processor speed? The processor has something to do with the performance of a PC, a mobile phone or a GPS navigator, but it is not the only factor. Equally important are, for instance, the amount of memory, display technology, applications, speed of input and output ports and many other technical details. So far, mobile phone industry hasn't considered processor speed something that would really interest customers, but as phones are becoming more like computers, processor speed numbers may interest many power users.

The Samsung Jet is a touch screen phone that is powered by a 800MHz processor. The little thing is ticking pretty fast. Yet, battery life is fine; 5 (3G network) to 8 (GSM) hours of talk time and up to 17 days of standby time. Not bad at all.

OLED display technology is making a breakthrough in many types of electronics, starting in mobile phones. The technology provides remarkably bright display, vivid colors and wide viewing angle. The Samsung Jet has 3.1-inch touch screen built on AMOLED technology. Samsung TouchWiz 2 software can adapt the on-screen keyboard and other applications to portrait or landscape mode, depending on the way the device is held. 5 megapixel digital camera can record high-resolution videos in 720x480 format. High-resolution video capture is a sign of a powerful processor (as opposed to other phones, like the Apple iPhone). It can play Divx, Xvid and MPEG4 movies. The Samsung Jet also has GPS for navigation, MP3 music player, FM radio, USB, and Bluetooth. Dolfin Internet browser has been finetuned for speed as well. The browser application can hold multiple web pages open at the same time.

TouchWiz touch screen menu system has proven to be quite popular. It allows customizing the home page on the phone with personal widgets, applications, and web pages. The Samsung F480 is also built on TouchWiz software. The product price may differ by market, but in Europe, the retail price for the Samsung Jet is expected to be around 550 euros.
