Mobile phone companies continue to strive harder and faster to produce the best one-phone-fits-all model, providing high-speed internet, email, music, camera and good, old-fashioned calling in a sleek, sexy shell.

However, it's not exactly a walk in the park. Mobile technology moves along at a striking pace. As soon as one phone is unveiled as the top dog, a new one comes along to boot it out. This makes finding a phone that will stand the test of time and actually stay at the top of its game in the months to come is no easy task, however, the latest smartphone from Samsung may just fit the bill.

Always one to deliver stylish, attractive phones, the Samsung Jet manages to set a new record on the good-looking stakes. This super-slim smartphone is less than 12mm thick, it has a 3.1 inch high-res customisable touch screen with 16 million colours which remains clearly visible even under direct sunlight and it's shiny black casing speaks cool sophistication.

According to Samsung's marketing of the Jet, 'impatience is a virtue', so it has gone all out to create a smartphone that works at 800MHz, 200MHz faster than the new i-phone. Combine this with the TouchWix 2.0 interface and user experience goes through the roof.

It has HSDPA 3G technology, Microsoft Exchange PC synchronisation, 2GB internal memory and up to 16GB external capability. So when Samsung was going for speed, they clearly achieved it. This phone could compete in the smartphone Olympics and win gold every time.

It also scores pretty highly on the gadget stakes. It has a 5 mega pixel camera with dual power LED flash, four times digital zoom and anti-shake filter and AMOLED technology for clearer, sharper images; a D1 bitrate video recorder with DVD-like playback; a GPS navigation system including 3D maps and a MP3 player with built-in radio. Phew, what a list!

This phone manages to live up to its name and all the hype. It is fast, efficient and just plain cool. It has more features than you can shake a stick at, and looks super-hot too. Multi-tasking is part and parcel of this phone, allowing you to call, browse and play tunes all at once using its rapid 800MHz power and 3D user interface so you won't be left waiting, or wanting for that matter.

The Samsung Jet is a Vodafone exclusive handset, available from £20 per month on contract.
