Description:

Samsung BlackJack II has similar form-factor to its predecessor, with 2.4" landscape QVGA display and full QWERTY keyboard on the front side. It upgrades it with Windows Mobile 6 Standard (instead of 5), built-in GPS, 2-megapixel camera (instead of 1.3) and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA which would allow for 3G global-roaming.

Black Jack 2

22 Oct 2009 Skyla

7.7 out of 10

I purchased my black jack 2 slightly used and have only had it for a few weeks now, but I love it!!  I love the fact that it has signature as long as you want it . It is a bit slow at times but what phone isn't ? I also love the fact that it holds alot of text messages. So far So good just hope I still feel this way in a few more weeks from now.





full keyboard----signature----text messaging----easy to figure out----
runs slow at times----camera (picture) quality----battery life----

Blackjack II

24 Jul 2009 jayyblackheart

8.7 out of 10

Before i had got a Motorola Evoke or my Boost Phone i had the Blackjack Blue Model,The phone is build pretty well coming from that its a Samsung phone.I enjoyed alot of stuff you can do.The customs you can add on is pretty wicked,and installing java and programs on the fly.Ringers were loud,the calls were clear,Only things i prolly aint enjoy to much was that the Windows Mobile is almost like the same thing like having a old packard bell computer sometimes.When you run to much it slows down,and takes a hell of a long time for some stuff to close depending how much you may have running.It could be me and my lack of experience,because i aint never had a windows mobile phone till this one.But other then that its pretty good.If you dont have service on it,and its just laying around collecting dust.One thing i could honestly say it makes is a Nice portable solution for emulation in video games(Nes,Mame,Snes).Believe me,it works nicely.

I actually like this phone a lot. It may look a little complicated at first, but after you look at it for about half an hour of playing with it, you pretty much get the idea of how to work it. The design may be a little more bulky than it should, but the keyboard is pretty easy to use. A touch pad would probably be better, but hey, touchpads are just coming out and this just happens to be an old version. There is microsoft powerpoint and word, which is really neat because you can put study materials in and study from there or put in your saved powerpoint presentation and hook it  on the computer if you don't have a portable USB or backup. You can save a microsoft word file that's blank and then come back and press edit to do your homework on the go.





- easy texting phone
- Can change theme
- Has Microsoft Word
- Has Microsoft Powerpoint
- Neat applications like stopwatch, smart converter, voice notes, world clock, etc etc
- design pretty bulky and heavy
- Can't use headphones
- Music library doesn't have a shortcut
- Phone doesn't have a "vibrate and sound" version. It's one or the other.
