The sleek and dinky Samsung Jet measures a mere 108.8 X 53.5 X 11.9 mm, and feels very comfortable in the hand. On the left side are found the hold buttons and the camera and Cubic interface opener, with the latter two meshed together in the style of a volume key.
All the control buttons are within easy reach thanks to the whole device being just under 11cm long. The much trumpeted cubic key is in the centre near the bottom. You hold this down to enter Motion Gate (so you can flick left and right to open an application) or simple press to enter the cube.
Samsung Jet Touchscreen
The Samsung Jet display is WVGA AMOLED touchscreen and looks very clear; even dazzling. The claim that it is four times sharper than the older WQVGA is easy to believe when you hold the thing in your hand. The contrast, even outdoors, is stunning. It is resistive rather than capacitative. However, the response, despite the mighty processor inside is not exactly mind-blowing but it is not bad.
