Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's latest update to the venerable i320 packs a serious punch. Just like its predecessor, the i607 BlackJack is slim and light--one of the lightest and flattest smartphones on the market--this time though, it features impressive innovations, like HSDPA 3G high-speed data capabilities, stereo Bluetooth, an advanced music player, and more.
With Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition software, and a big color screen, this device is the perfect choice for professionals who want to stay on top of their game.
 All the power and functionality you need when your office is on the move. See the BlackJack in detail: Front and rear. |
Design
The BlackJack goes with a tried and true design that makes it easy to communicate at a moment's notice. The large, 320 x 240 screen supports over 65,000 colors, while a QWERTY keyboard just below the screen makes typing out emails, SMS messages, notes, presentations, and more a breeze. A side scroll wheel is conveniently tucked away on the side, making navigation when accessing the music player and other various applications a cinch when needed. A five-way selection button allows you to navigate and control the Windows Mobile interface, while soft keys on either side of the selection button make it easy to quickly access important phone and productivity functions--all of which make the BlackJack a snap to use one-handed.
A microSD/TransFlash memory card for expanding the BlackJack's memory is located on the top right-hand side of the phone. Connectivity is provided by USB, infrared, and Bluetooth. You'll also find a speakerphone, and a 1.0+ megapixel camera with video capture capability, which is housed on the rear of the device.
Calling Features
The BlackJack has all the latest calling features folks have come to expect from a high-end handset. The built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Speaker independent voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names, while the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible. A ringer and picture ID system makes it easy to identify your most common callers.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The BlackJack is designed as a complete solution for people who want to bring their office with them. The unit comes packed with mobile versions of Outlook, Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger. Outlook Mobile features integrated calendar and email functions, as well as a contacts list that is cleverly integrated with the phone's dialing functions. Robust SMS and MMS functionality is built into the Windows Mobile interface, too.
Microsoft's ActiveSync software keeps the device synced with all of your PC's Outlook information (via Bluetooth or USB).
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the BlackJack, including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a to-do list, and an alarm clock. A predictive text entry technology is also included.
Imaging and Entertainment
In addition to the 1.0+ megapixel still camera, the BlackJack is capable of recording video clips to its built-in memory, or to the memory expansion card. The inclusion of Windows Media Player on the BlackJack opens up a whole range of possibilities for this phone. Use it as a digital music player, or sync the device with Windows Media Player on your PC to download video.
Instead of downloading media to your phone, why not stream directly from your phone? With UMTS and HSDPA support built right into the BlackJack, you'll be streaming and downloading at speeds so fast your head will spin. Used in combination with one of Cingular's MEdia Max plans that supports Cingular Video and MobiTV (additional Cingular charges apply), the BlackJack will allow you to play high-quality news clips, sports clips, weather clips, and more--right on your phone. And with Cingular's exclusive partnership with HBO Mobile and HBO Family Mobile, you'll never be at a loss for something good to watch.
With features like stereo Bluetooth headphone capability, and support for Java based applications and games, the BlackJack shines in the entertainment department. When the feeling strikes you, jam out to your favorite music on the unit's advanced mp3 player, and because the BlackJack sports a microSD/TransFlash memory card slot, you can load up all your favorite music and bring it with you (memory cards sold separately). And because the phone supports MobiRadio, in addition to streaming video and TV, you can listen to your favorite radio station via the supported digital radio service--great for times when you feel like listening to new music (additional Cingular charges apply).

Never thought I'd like a Samsung before - Nice display. Will need a screen protector though. - Stable. No crashes, no lockups yet. - Bluetooth etc works without a single hitch - Switches between 3G and Edge seamlessly - Great sound quality. Also looks like there is better background noise reduction with this phone. (maybe a network feature. new vocoder?) - very lightweight. Lighter than the Verizon Q. - Decent camera. 1.3 MP with some cool effects. - Barely feel it in my pocket. Awesome. Cons: - Top of phone gets pretty warm against the ear during a long conversation (scary) - Wierd connector. Why can't Samsung go with a standard Mini USB?? Losers. - No wired earphone/handsfree with the phone. - Keys may be a little too close, for some people - How about a GPS chip in the next...

My criterion was that it had to play music via Bluetooth, had to have a windows mobile platform, and had to be comfortable. This phone satisfied all of them for the most part. There are a few cons to the phone, however; with the windows platform it will not be long until applications will come around to extend the functionality and fix problems. I'm a computer programmer and I'm currently working with the mobile platform to develop new programs with Visual Studio, hence the need for the windows platform. I can safely say that in the next couple of years we will be seeing some exciting new technology that will be developed with the new Smartphone and PDA's that run a platform like window mobile. The blackjack is an excellent device to introduce you into the Smartphone/PDA universe. With Blackjacks features for Email (3 different options to receive email w/ this phone), Instant Messaging,...

The BlackJack sports 3G data, superb voice quality, a full QWERTY keypad, a brilliant color display and Windows Mobile 5 with Direct Push via Microsoft Exchange, Service Pack 2. It's thinner than the Motorola Q, sexier than the Treo 700 and gets reception in the remotest of cell hell holes.I've been getting near 1 megabit of bandwidth on Cingular's 3G network in the Little Rock, Arkansas market. The voice quality of this phone is on par with most other bar phones on the market today. The only drawbacks are (a) it lacks full MS Office, and has a viewer package instead. I can't imagine how anyone could actually edit a Microsoft Office document on their PDA, however... I'd have to be pretty desperate and (b) no touchscreen, but uses a wheel instead. It's about half the price Cingular is expected to charge for the Treo 700w, and has 90%... Read more |
