Best phone ever!

Overall Rating:
5 out of 5
By: Sally Hills on Saturday, September 13, 2008
From: Bawn, TN (United States)
Experience: 8 Weeks
Pros: Easy to use OS. Fast. The task manager makes it easy to stop programs running in the background, making for faster use. Camera works great. Attractive.

Cons: Reception.

Summary: Best phone Ive ever owned. I didnt get good reception at my house with it, out in the country, but that is samsung phones in general, not just this phone. I have previously owned other samsung phones that gave me the same problem. I bought an antenna booster, which seems to have fixed the issue effortlessly. I would say that the battery life that most have complained about is not that bad. Then again, I NEVER go to sleep without plugging in my phone to the charger anyways, regardless of how much battery is left. I suppose if you were going to be in a dessert, or in the wilderness, without power or a car charging outlet for 3 weeks, you might not like how fast the battery dies. But in my case, Im always at work (where there is an outlet if needed), or in my car (where I have a car charger). Im glad I didnt decide against this phone due to people reviewing it as having a "horrible battery life". So far I havent been disappointed. It hasnt frozen on me, and its relatively easy to use. I think the people who havent been pleased are CEO's who have owned 2,000 dollar smartphones prior to this one or something, because honestly, I havent found a problem with any of its features, or battery life.

Great

Experience: 6 Months
Pros: Smart key pad. Even though the key pad is small, the phone programs the letter buttons that sit next to the numbers to display the number if you hit it while dialing in the call screen. Camera and video is amazing.

Cons: Have to go through too many steps to turn on silent.

Summary: This has been a great phone. I have had it for about 6 months. I am a Realtor and this phone has everything I need to make my job a breeze! Not only can I store my daily calender, I can even pull up listings on the interent while I am with a client. Fantastic!

Madness

Overall Rating:
3 out of 5
By: Lisa Mayer on Thursday, November 29, 2007
From: Brisbane, Queensland (Australia)
Experience: 6 Months
Pros: Just like every other phone I used. Thank god, because there is no user guide to find out how to use the extras

Cons: User guide. What user guide?
Try to download it on your computer when your sitting in a park or the backyard or a shopping centre. Print it out and waste a ream of A4 paper (not environmentally friendly). Try to get a user manual and be charged $15 AUD after paying $1000AUD for the phone. Useless without a user manual.

Summary: I've had my phone now for 6 months and still have not a clue how to use it. If I need to know something I want to reach for the User guide, not turn on the computer go to the internet or CD Rom scroll through 500 pages.
What a waste of time this phone is.

Love love love this phone!

Overall Rating:
4.5 out of 5
By: DAWN DUNNING on Monday, February 19, 2007
From: NILES, MI (United States)
Experience: 1 Months
Pros: Just about everything

Cons: Can't seem to find the tone alert to remind me that I have a voicemail or a call.

Summary: All I can say is that it is very sexy and serious looking at the same time. Very nice to hold up to your ear for a long time. Very bad manual though...call quality is excellent!

Im loving it...

By: James Silva on Friday, January 19, 2007
From: Flower Mound, TX (United States)
Experience: 2 Months
Summary: I have had the blackjack for a couple of months and love it. Im still trying to figure out several of the options and the user guide is no help. The screens are very user friendly.
Once you start service on this phone, everything else, and I mean everything else cost extra. I just wish I could load music from my computer.

From: las vegas, NV (United States)
Experience: 7 Days
Pros: Everything

Cons: Screen retains oils

Summary: Great phone, takes a day or so to get used to the small buttons but otherwise everything is great. The screen needs to be cleaned often.

BlackJack!!

Overall Rating:
3.8 out of 5
By: Stewart Underwood on Wednesday, November 29, 2006
From: St Louis, MO (United States)
Experience: 3 Days
Pros: The phone starts off with a great bright big screen that makes using the features amazing. For the first time for me I can be looking at the web, stop and make a phone call and then go back to where I was. What a concept! 3G speed is awesome as are all of the extras like XM Radio.

Cons: Going to have to travel with a charger everywhere because the battery life is terrible.

Summary: I am extremely impressed with the phone and what it can do. I am also impressed with the improvements that Cingular has made to their network, making all of the fun features work at decent speeds. A better battery and this phone would have been an A+ for me.

    Is Linux still a dirty word?

    Dirty Words; Linux?

    With the G1, Linux takes its first starring role in the U.S. cellular handset market. For years, the OS has been the secret foundation of many a phone, gps device, ATM, in-flight movie player, web server, gadget, what have you. As far as much of the American public is concerned, Android represents the birth of Linux, if the collective "they" know that name at all.

    Just a quick bit of fodder for the Android rumor mill. Tech Radar has an Interview with Microsoft's Scott Guthrie regarding the possibility of their Silverlight product, which competes directly with Adobe's Flash, showing up on Android-powered phones. Considering Apple's decision to accommodate neither on the iPhone, Silverlight for Android could really heat up the touch-screen game. While certainly not an announcement of Microsoft's...

    Omnia: Is Samsung bringing the Omnia to Verizon?

    This is an interesting turn of events, if it proves to be true.  With all of the speculation about if and when Samsung would bring their Windows Mobile powerhouse, the Omnia, to AT&T, nobody stopped to think about a CDMA version of the device.  Nobody, it seems, except Samsung and Verizon Wireless.
