1.both phone have 4k price difference
2.look and feel wise samsung jet is much better
3. 5800 is a smart phone
4. even if jet have 800mhz processor its slow..dont know y...but videos show that
5. sound of 5800 is better
6. screen of jet is oled and better resolution much better

now u decide what u need

I would have gone for 5800 eye closed if it didnt look soo cheap

If u want good camera ,stylish phone, go for ,Samsung Jet S8000.but some limitations r there in jet software.
5800xm camera not so great, but its smart phone, u can make many changes ,can install themes,software etc.
Decide according to ur need.

In terms of music playback 5800 have no competition among touchscreen.

I honestly dont understand the concept of jet . Great hardware that could easily power winmo or android is wasted with samsungs subpar os.

If you need
Touchscreen + multimedia = 5800
or
touchscreen + flaunt value = htc.

Btw , even though let have better screen , i'll take 5800 for video because being a smartphone it'll offer more flexibility in terms of video playback.

OK so I just read the review of jet on phonearena.com
It says jet is very snappy..it can handle avi videos upto resolution of 720...it have good camera...good sound....poor video recording...nice build but attracts fingerprint
they gave it 9/10
