The Samsung Jet epitomises speed, quality and choice with a vivid AMOLED display and smartphone features such as multi-task manager, and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, brought together in a sleek and compact design that measures just 11.9mm in thickness.

The Samsung Jet supports DivX and XviD for hassle free video downloading. There’s a built-in Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotating movies into widescreen aspect. The picture and sound are second to none thanks to DNSe and SRS technology. Other notable features include 5 megapixel camera, WVGA display, customisable widget screen, smart unlock and built-in GPS.

The Samsung B3310 features a slide out QWERTY keyboard, which makes composing emails and texts a doddle. It also has an unusual quirky numeric keypad. Positioned to the side of the screen, the numeric keys form part of the QWERTY keyboard when the phone is open. The Samsung B3310 has direct access to Facebook and MySpace from the home screen so you can chat to friends and update your status with ease. It also supports photo sharing sites such as Flickr, you can upload photos taken with the phone’s 2 megapixel camera.

The interactive TouchWiz interface lets you customise your home screen by dragging and dropping the widgets you use most.

The screen on the Samsung S5230 Tocco Lite also has an accelerometer, turn the phone sideways and the display automatically switches to widescreen landscape mode, great for viewing movies.

It also has stereo Bluetooth, allowing music and sound to be streamed wirelessly with a compatible headset.

The 3.2 megapixel camera on the Samsung S5230 Tocco Lite has smile detection, which means it will focus and then wait until your subject smiles before taking a picture. The web browser is also very good, although with only GPRS connectivity large pages could be slow to load, so only suitable for occasional use. The Samsung Tocco Lite is a fun phone and excellent value for money. It has a nice interface and good multimedia capabilities.
