Design
The Samsung JetSet doesn't offer any design elements that we haven't seen before. Its black color scheme, compact dimensions (3.64 inches by 1.85 inches by 0.69 inch; 3.32 ounces) and simple lines are standard Samsung. The phone has a plastic casing, but it feels comfortable in the hand and the hinge is sturdy. It also travels well.
The postage stamp external display supports 65,000 colors (96x96 pixels). It shows all important information including the date, time, battery life, signal strength, and numeric caller ID. It also shows photo caller ID and you can use it as a viewfinder for the camera lens. You also can add wallpaper and adjust the contrast. Below the display are touch controls for activating the music player and playing your tunes without opening the phone.
The 2.1-inch internal display supports 262,000 colors (32x240 pixels). It's pretty appealing for a phone of this caliber--colors are bright and vibrant, and graphics and photos are sharp. The menu interface is easy to use in either the list or icon style. You can change the backlighting of the display and you can adjust the dialing font color and size.
The navigation array is quite spacious. You'll find a circular toggle with a central OK button, two soft keys, a clear button, and the Talk and End/power controls. The controls are flush and somewhat slippery, but we didn't have many problems because the array is so big. The toggle has a very slight ridge surrounding it, but you barely feel it; it doubles as a shortcut to four features.
The keypad buttons have a similar story: they're flat and slippery, but their large size made up for the deficiencies. We could dial and text quickly, and the backlighting helps in dim situations. Dialing by feel takes practice, but you should get the hang of it. Our only concern is over the long-term durability of the keys. They're made of plastic so we'd be interested to see how they hold up after a year of heavy use.
A few features complete the exterior of the JetSet. On the left spine are a volume rocker and the microSD card slot. The rocker is easy to find when you're on a call and we appreciate that Samsung didn't stash the card slot behind the battery. On the left spine you'll find a camera shutter/handset locking key, a headset jack, and a charger port. Unfortunately, the charger port is proprietary and the charger jack is 2.5-millimeter.
Features
The JetSet has a 500-contact phone book with room in each entry for five phone numbers and two e-mail addresses. You can save callers to groups and pair them with a photo and one of five polyphonic ringtones (that's a pretty lean selection). Other essentials include a vibrate mode, a speakerphone, and text and multimedia messaging.
