Samsung releases Jet in Korea with some extra features

Samsung has unveiled the Korean version of Jet that will be known as W850/W8500/W8550 amongst different operators. To lure the homeland consumers, Samsung has integrated few extra features that won’t be available in the international versions. The first difference that actually cannot be termed as ‘added’ but obvious, is the different placement of front video camera and sensor as compared to S8000 Jet. It’s also got a larger WVGA (800×480) AMOLED screen, measuring 3.5-inches to original Jet’s 3.1-inches and addition of T-DMB.

Rest of the features are same – 5MP AF camera and LED flash, Haptic UI 2.0 (TouchWiz 2.0), 3D Cube, One-touch zoom, multiple video format support like DivX, H.264, MPEG-4 while D1 video recording, GPS, Bluetooth, microSD slot and much more.

The phone will arrive on SK Telecom (SKT), Korea Telecom (KT) and LG Telecom (LGT) at a Korean Won equivalent of around $630.
