Video: Samsung Blackjack 2 Launch - AT&TSamsung unveiled the Blackjack 2 today during Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's keynote address kicking off the CTIA Wireless IT & Entertainment Conference in San Francisco, CA. The Blackjack 2 is the follow-up to the Blackjack smartphone, and will be available in two colors - Black and Wine Red - as an AT&T exclusive when it launches later this year.
Blackjack 2 features a slimmer form factor with a larger battery compartment that Samsung says will address battery life issues that plagued the original design. The new device will run Windows Mobile 6, and features a 2 megapixel camera and compatibility with AT&T's HSDPA 3G data network. Gone is the side-mounted thumb scroll wheel, replaced by an iPod-like jog dial mounted front and center beneath the LCD display.
Blackjack 2 also features an improved QWERTY keypad and larger screen as compared to its predecessor. I got a chance to play with the new device and the keypad is definitely a bit easier to work with than the original B

write back ASAP or anyone else 4/29/2008 2:17:49 AMwhich curve model? if your considering the base curve (8300) which have no gps, I could get the BJ2 b/c the 8300 alone will cost the same as the BJ2 or even more on ebay. I just ordered the BJ2 for $224 with shipping on ebay. Now, if you have a money tree in your backyard and are not concerned with prices, I would go with an unlocked tmobile blackjack 8320 which has wifi and gps. This model will run you in the range of 300-340$ on ebay. 4/10/2008 7:38:40 PMyou know thats what im trying to decide 2 b ut im gonna go with the blackjack 2 4/10/2008 7:37:30 PMi suggest the blackjack 2 because the moto Q looks thick and big but thats just my opinion 4/6/2008 11:51:57 PMi have the option right now to get the blackjack 2 or the moto q mobile, what should i get? 4/6/2008 12:35:55 AMit does 4/3/2008 6:58:34 PMi juss got this...love it but it shuld have an alarm clock 3/24/2008 3:56:28 PMthe Blackjack Triple (3) thats coming out on July 7th has wifi 3/23/2008 6:33:25 PMi just got this phone yesterday and i'm loving it...just wish it had wifi, then it would be perfect. 3/23/2008 1:47:21 PMshould i get this or the blackberry curve? 3/17/2008 8:58:03 PMYou need a 3g sim card, I had to change out my regular edge sim when I got mine just 2 hrs ago.

Samsung Blackjack-2-SGH-617 Black in-depth review - At a Glance Samsung Blackjack-2-SGH-617 Black in-depth review - IntroductionIntroductionSamsung’s BlackJack was a big hit amongst smartphone users in 2007 thanks to its compact candybar form factor, full QWERTY keyboard, and enterprise-friendly Windows Mobile operating system. But BlackJack suffered from a few flaws, inadequate battery life being the biggest offender; most BlackJack users I knew wound up buying an extended battery which all but negated the phone’s sleek body by adding a big ol’ bulge to its backside. Lucky for business users across America,...Samsung Blackjack-2-SGH-617 Black in-depth review - Design & FeaturesDesign / FeaturesBlackJack II is sleek in a business-class sort of way. I don’t know that I could ever call a smart phone “sexy,” but the burgundy-finish review sample Samsung sent me certainly is handsome, anyway. The handset fits easily in one of my hands, and its center-mounted nav dial makes for easy left or right-handed operation Some folks have bemoaned Samsung’s decision to replace BJ1’s side-mounted scroll wheel with this new front panel dial, but I like it. ...Samsung Blackjack-2-SGH-617 Black in-depth review - Usability & PerformanceUsability & PerformanceAs a phone, BlackJack II was a solid performer. Signal strength was good, voice quality was generally quite good, and callers said I came through clearly on the other end. I found the integrated speakerphone to be so-so; sometimes calls sounded fine (if a bit hissy) while other times voices were garbled and folks on the other end said they couldn’t hear me so well. The phone paired up just fine with both mono and stereo Bluetooth headsets,...Samsung Blackjack-2-SGH-617 Black in-depth review - ConclusionConclusionBlackJack II is a solid smartphone. I can’t get super-excited about because I’m not its target audience - I don’t like Windows Mobile and I do like touchscreens and snazzy features - but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate it. Samsung took a good thing in the original BlackJack, fixed its fatal flaw by upping the battery life, and boosted performance and features in the meantime. If you’re wedded to the idea of being able to navigate your smartphone via a...Top 5 Phones of this Holiday Season |
