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

Samsung 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
favorite websites.

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 colors, with
the very best high resolution display for viewing multimedia on the go.

Samsung Jet's ultra brilliant display has a 180° 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 program their own, customized movements in order to operate the
handset, bringing the ultimate in personalization.

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 personalization 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 Geomagnetic 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.
