Samsung BlackJack II Review
Samsung took what many loved already with the BlackJack and made an evolutionary step forward keeping the same known design while greatly improving on the features.

I totally love the spin wheel for the navigation key. The keypad is perfect size. The display is big. I love how light the phone is. Usually smartphones are heavy. I love the size because it is not large.

BEST phone around! Personally it bets the Motorola Q9H Global! I love the iPod styled D-pad and the camera effects! Puttons could be a little bit bigger, but im not complaining. Overall, best damn phone around!

13. Great Phone

I had the BJack 1 and its seemed to work good for the most part except for the occasional freeze here and there(thats windows for ya). I got the Blackjack 2 a couple weeks ago. All the features seem to be improved overall. The GPS works good integrating with google maps, even though it's not turn-by-turn, it works better then I would have expected, even for being a free program. If you decide to get one, you will be better off with red over black, unless you like you phone looking like a fingerprint haven. It also runs smoother and the track spinning deal works nicely too. The keypad is slightly different, but not a deal breaker. The phone is Quad-band GSM and Tri-bang WCDMA/UMTS/HSD(U)PA Whatever you prefer so it will work off any cell tower in the world. Also, the screen is slightly bigger and it has a TRUE full screen video... Overall I have been pretty satisfied.

14. Great all-in-one device!

I upgraded from a Samsung SGH-ZX20 (AT&T's second 3G-compatible device) to the BlackJack II this past holiday. Since the upgrade, I have been nothing but impressed by the phone's capabilities. I did my research on this phone on phonearena.com before I got the phone...everything on this site is accurate about the phone.
My favorite features include:
- intuitive keyboard layout
- amazing scroll/spin wheel (easy to navigate email/web!)
- incredibly fast HSDPA (I download applications/large email attachments in mere seconds)
- GPS (I recommend using Windows Live Search with Maps)
- battery life
- sharp, bright, large clear screen
Overall, I'm quite impressed with the phone. I've included an unlimited data/text plan with my phone so I'm able to use all the phone's features. Anything less than and unlimited package, and you're limiting yourself, seriously. If you need web, constant email, office docs and organization on the go, get the BJII!

15. Great Smartphone

This is a great smartphone with many features that would keep anyone entertainted. First, I would have to say that the QWERTY keyboard is excellent and well designed. This is a big stepp from the keyboard used on the first BlackJack. This allows for very accurate texting, and typing. The 3G capabilities on the phone are excellent. The Internet Browser is much faster than on the original BlackJack which is a big plus. This design of the phone looks much sleeker overall from the original. The only problem I had with the design was the glossy finish. If your a little touchy about smudges then you may not enjoy the finish so much. You can see fingerprints easliy on this phone and especially on the back. But, for the most part I enjoy the touch wheel on the ront of the phone rather than on the side. So, overall, this is a big imporvement over the original BlackJack.

16. Amazing device

I am very impressed with this phone. I came from the RAZR V3xx from AT&T and I must say that this phone hands down puts the RAZR to shame. I am impressed with how easy it is to type on this device! The keys are easy to use and I have large hands, so anyone can use it. I am also impressed with how fast the downloading is.
I never had the first BlackJack, but I love this phone, it is wonderful, it keeps my organized, it comes in handy when texting, or sending instant messages, it is all around a great device. I highly recommend it.
