Samsung Jet goes to Korea as W850 / W8500 / W8550
By Ilinca Nita on 30 Jun 09Already available in the UK, Samsung Jet S8000 was just launched in Korea too.
The high-end phone will hit Korea in three versions: Samsung W850, Samsung W8500 and Samsung W8550 – which are actually not at all different, but they have different names for the carriers they’ll be available on: SK Telecom, KTF and LG Telecom.
Specs-wise, the W850 / W8500 / W8550 offers slightly more than the Jet S800: DMB support, and a WVGA AMOLED display of 3.5 inches (as opposed to Jet’s 3.1 inches screen).
Other than that, Korean users will get the following features: TouchWiz 2.0 UI, GPS, 5MP autofocus camera, Bluetooth, Media player and so on.
Samsung W850 / W8500 / W8550 will retail for the price of 800,000 KRW (about $630).
