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 have had the bj2 for about 3 weeks now, and was sent all the accessories for a bj1, really frustrating. The first thing i noticed that i didn't like was the fact i cannot charge the phone in and talk with an ear bud. Also, i can't just go buy a generic ear bud, you have to buy an exp. one for this phone from the manufacture. I came from the Rumor (sprint) and miss the slide with wide qwerty board, but don't miss tht it slid out all the time..I am getting used to this phone and am sure i will not be able to live without it soon. I do like the reception and it works at my home where the sprint network did not. Oh and my roller in the middle is uesless. so i am not impressed with it at all, as i have fingernails. i now wish i had tried the new trio as it does have a touch screen... if the bj2 had that it would be perfect.

Nice phone. BUT NO VOICE ACTIVATION!
Who builds a Bluetooth PDA without voice command?
This means that you cannot call out on your bluetooth headset. I have used voice activation on the last 4 phones I have owned bluetooth or not. It is the fastest way to dial hands down. My old Ericsson T68 from 5 years ago even had this feature!

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!

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.

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!
