The Jet is the baby Omnia II. They look almost identical, except the Jet has smaller dimensions.

The screen is resistive, although Samsung claims it’s better than normal resistive. But no, it won’t be as sensitive as the capacitive on the iPhone, though you can use other than fingers to do it. It’s probably not as bad as you make out, it just takes some getting used when you go from the tech that doesn’t need pressure to the one that does. Newbies to either should get used to it soon enough.

In terms of adding ‘widgits’, not only has Samsung released their widget store, but they have also released an SDK allowing anyone to create new widgets. So you should see a lot of new useful widgets appearing soon, especially seeing how many phones already use the TouchWiz interface.

Now if only Samsung SA or Vodacom would actually list it on their sites.

Yeah dude, I also looked into this phone. I think its a phone for someone who is not interested in the top of the range smart phones, but does not want to compromise on trick features. Nice overall and will be a winner for the right user.

Hmmm, plugins, gimmicks. Interesting you say this could be the deal breaker. if you look at some of the more popular web tools, one of the most important aspects is extendability through plugins. So, it’s the same in the mobile world too, it seems.

I thought that was supposed to be the Samsung Omnia 2??

Looks a lot like the same thing…

In fact:

Don’t those two look a lot alike, or has it received a name change in the last month or two?
