The Canadian wireless provider Fido gives to its customers two new Windows Mobile 6 Standard smartphone choices. The Samsung JACK (the carrier’s variant of the BlackJack II that AT&T offers) and the Motorola Q 9h are both with QVGA landscape display and full QWERTY keyboards on the front side. Both are quad-band GSM with tri-band UMTS/HSDPA 3.6 support, with 2-megapixel cameras (Q9h has flash) and stereo Bluetooth support. Although the JACK also has integrated GPS, comes for $225, which is $50 less than the $275 for the Q9h (both prices require 3-year contract with data plan).

Jack
At first I wondered why they decided to cal it the "JACK" in Canada.... but then I realised that is was because of the lawsuit from Blackberry (which was invented by a Canadian, so..).

RIM is ridiculous
At Goombalala: I also wondered why they changed the name to JACK, then realized it was because of RIM's ridiculousness. Sure, the name Blackjack is somewhat similar to Blackberry, but for some reason I really doubt Samsung did this intentionally. I really think it was just coincidence, but hey, what you gonna do.
