Pros: Fast & Clear 3G Network Access, Sleek Form Factor, Great Universal Device, etc.

REASON FOR PURCHASE: I was switching from a Nokia 9300 (Communicator) on the Cingular/AT&T Network. I wanted a phone with a smaller phone factor, the convenience/compatibility of Windows Mobile, and a SmartPhone with 3G Network Access. Having had ...

Pros: Good reception, serviceable keyboard, strong Bluetooth, thin, fast Internet, decent all-in-one device
Cons: battery life, unreliable date and time updates, hard to turn off reminder alerts

I'm an attorney, so my calendar is very important to me. I was looking for my first "Smartphone", something that would replace my PDA (an HP iPAQ) and my rather flimsy Motorola RAZER that had been dropped one too many times. The Blackberry phones ...

Pros: Strong Bluetooth, loud, handles calls well and is a serviceable all-in-one device
Cons: Idiotic keypad, unacceptable battery life, nearly impossible to update

After going through a long line of simple cell phones, I grew up, became slightly more professional, and came to a point where I required a device that would allow me to check email, surf the web in a limited capacity, and serve as a media player when I ...

Pros: comes with two batteries, www accessable, keyboard
Cons: keyboard takes some getting use to, hard to hear on

We purchased two of these phones at the same time. One was returned within 30 days because it quit working all together. The other one I still have after almost one year. It has some good featurese and some bad. Lets start with the screen ... it has ...

Pros: Small size, internet speed, expandable memory, Direct-Push from Exchange. Rugged and reliable.
Cons: Number keypad needs getting used to, 3G internet uses up batteries.

I have had this phone for almost a year and overall I am very impressed. The phone has stood up to a lot of abuse and drops, and still works like a champ. Synching with Outlook on Windows Vista is superior to any non-Windows phone. I also set it up to ...

Pros: Email accounts, size, decent battery life.
Cons: Buttons for numbers should be a better contrast than gray.

If you want a device that is small enough to carry in your pocket and functions as a phone, email client, and calendar, then the Blackjack will make you happy. But if you want great photos, it's 1.3mp camera isn't all that great. As a mp3 player it's not ...

Pros: microsd slot, bluetooth, small size, looks great
Cons: screen size, keyboard, processing speed

To start off I would like to say that I have never had a problem with this phone. Many people say they have had problems with the software or hardware but I have taken this phone to its fullest potential and I have not had any problems. Ill start off ...

Pros: Size, keyboard, functionality, bluetooth, extended battery, texting, web surfing.
Cons: Price - why not free with a 2 year contract? MicroSD is too tiny

Slimmer than other Smartphones w/Qwerty, full functionality, nice speakerphone, small buttons, good extended battery, good screen. Bought it April '07 for $100 after rebate (which took longer than advertised, but as expected), and now-a-days you can ...

Pros: comes with two batteries and external charger. small size
Cons: bad design, falls apart, bad sound, bad reception, numerous other issues

I got my first cell phone in Israel. When I returned to the states in 2002, I got a Blackberry. I was very happy with my Blackberry. In 2006, however, the Blackberry was giving up the ghost and I decided it was time ton invest in a new phone. I ...

Pros: It does not have one single feature in its favour.
Cons: Everything about the sucker is useless.

This is not a bad phone, its simply the WORST phone I have ever had the displeasure of owing. Its so bad I took my carpenter's hammer to it after I drove over it with my car, just to make doubly sure I totally killed the farker! I've replaced this ...

Pros: Bright screen, VERY fast internet, thin form factor.
Cons: A few REALLY annoying design limitations.

The Samsung Blackjack is one of the more useful cellular phones I've owned. Although the perfect device has yet to be designed, this one comes pretty close. This review will feature ratings on battery life, signal strength, operating system stability, ...

Pros: Email Internet Speed Sound Quality
Cons: Typing Lagging Slow Phone To Turn On

This phone is a really a 1/2 good and 1/2 bad phone. On one hand the phone is great for email and internet. But ont he other hand the typing is horrible, it takes a really long time to turn on, and the battery life stinks.

Pros: Good reception, 3G capable, Micro sd card slot, QWERTY keyboard
Cons: Average battery life, Sometimes freezes for no reason

The Samsung Blackjack isn't anything spectacular, but it is a reliable cell phone that can also be used to surf the web or check email. The qwerty keyboard makes typing considerably easier than a standard cell phone and is a necessity for anyone who's going to be texting or e-mailing a lot. With the 3G compatibility, web browsing can be very fast in areas with 3G coverage. With a micro sd card slot, you can store many songs, videos, pictures, documents, or whatever else you want. The screen seems prone to scratching, especially given how often you have to carry your cell phone, so I would recommend a case or screen protector. The battery life isn't amazing, but is good enough. Also, you can get a free extended length battery from Cingular. With windows mobile, there are numerous applications that can be installed. Personally, I recommend facade and papyrus as two very useful applications.
