While sharing photos and video with the Jet will certainly be a commonly used feature, unfortunately the picture quality leaves a lot to be desired. Even with the highest quality settings, our 640x480 pictures lacked overall quality, even compared to phones with similar VGA sensors. The Jet scored a mere 20/80 on the vision test, and could not produce enough resolution from close up to read the score. In addition to lack of detail, pictures viewed on a desktop PC were blurry and dark, with low color saturation across the spectrum.

Video recorded on the Jet was a more pleasant experience. The smooth motion proved to be more effective at capturing the moment, in light of the low color quality. Videos were also played back painlessly on a desktop PC, thanks to the standard 3G2 video encoding. We were also able to export video from our desktop PC using QuickTime Pro, and the video we tested played flawlessly.
