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.

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.

Pros

- easy texting phone
- Can change theme
- Has Microsoft Word
- Has Microsoft Powerpoint
- Neat applications like stopwatch, smart converter, voice notes, world clock, etc etc

Cons

- 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.

Not worth the effort it took to figure this phone out. It sucks. I have returned 3 and can now get something else. Thank God. I never had a pda before and everyone it talked to said it was messed up. I have never used the media net b/c it doesn't work. I have had to delete email address and start over b/c mobile net does not work properly. It had nver saved sent emails.. and I have to turn it off at least once a day to clear out all the problems with this phone. Do not buy it or get a used one. I thought i bought a new one but it turned out to be refurbished. UKKK on used equipment. I am very leary of Samsung now. I just have gotten what all my friends suggested.... arrgghhhhhh,,, on this phone.

Pros

qwerty keyboard
loud ringer

Cons

to many to list.

FANTASTIC phone.

It may not be a Blackberry or an Iphone but this phone is the best in its class. I can honestly say that you will not find a better full qwerty phone out there in this phones price range.
