USER REVIEW: I like it

8/10/2009 8:48:52 PM

PROSIt has a great screen quality. It can hold more text than iv ever seen. Took me an hour to delete them all. (bought it from a friend) It takes pretty nice pictures. Lots of effects. Sound quality. Alot compacted into a decent size phone. Good entertainment learning all the functions.Battery is long lasting
CONS
The qwerty keyboard is a bit cramped. Kinda confusing what letters from numbers or symbols are because of the same color.
SUMMARY
Iv only had this for a day. But i like it. Its a well built smart phone. Lots of stuff to do in this phone and i find it fun to learning how it works. I dont find it that hard to use it. Takes some time. But the qwerty keyboard could be a small issue, but its easily learned after a few days of texting. No biggy. I would say get this to anyone, but if had a choose go with the new jack. Better qwerty. But i got this for a deal so why not. Still a good phone.

USER REVIEW: Best phone ever!

PROSEasy 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.

USER REVIEW: Great

PROSSmart 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!

USER REVIEW: Madness

PROSJust 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.

ARTICLE: Samsung recalls AT&T Blackjack

As you may have heard by now Samsung is recalling all Blackjack devices manufactured from November ‘06 through February '07 (check the date behind the battery). It seems that there is a problem with the internal antenna causing an increase in dropped calls and limited connectivity.

If you own one of the affected phones simply call AT&T at 1-800-801-1101 to get more information on the replacement process. There is now word on whether or not you will be given a new or refurbished model.

How about a credit towards a Blackjack 2 AT&T? Just wishful thinking huh?

PROSJust 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!

USER REVIEW: Im loving it...

PROS
CONS
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.

PROSEverything
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.

USER REVIEW: BlackJack!!

11/29/2006 4:20:09 PM
PROSThe 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.
