Apart from Iphone, Android, whatever Blackberrys OS is called, Symbian and Winmob .... a very large portion (if not all) of the smartphones out there. Hardly the oposite of "just like (almost) every other phne out there".

The Jet ISN'T a smartphone, and Samsung have never claimed that it is.

Obviously never used a HTC or any other winmob device then. Drivers etc are frequently ripped from one device and applied to someone elses.

>Apps - only the ones Samsung provides. Just like (almost) every other phone out there then.

>BTW, SS generally don't use a proprietary OS of their own - they use other peoples (e.g. >Embedded Linux, Nucleus, Qualcomm etc) depending on the circumstances.,

You forgot Winmob.

You're all missing the point

OLED screens have low power consumption!

Woot!

Slow, isn't it?

Or is it just me? When she switches pages on her home screen it seemms to take 1-2 seconds to happen after swiping. Similarly huge delay when typing on that QWERTY (I'll skip over the hideous font choice...). On my iPhone swiping between pages on the home screen follows my finger, and typing delays are now quite rare.

Re: Films - actually I've watched entire movies on my iPhone. Only occasionally, as I agree big screens are better on the whole for that purpose, but with sound via earphones and watching from quite close in to the screen it's a surprisingly pleasant experience. Would be less so if playack was jerky with poor frame rate, though, which it isn't on the iPhone.
