The good folks at Digital Trends have posted their review of the new Samsung BlackJack Windows Mobile phone for Cingular Wireless here on their website. Just in case you need a reminder of the features of the BlackJack, here it is:
- Windows Mobile 5.0
- Support for Cingular Music, Cingular Video, and MEdia Net
- Comes with mobile versions of Microsoft Office
- Windows Media Player 10 mobile
- Bluetooth 2.0 support
- Voice and Data capabilities
- Quad band world phone support
- Dual band UMTS/HSDPA support
- Full QWERTY keyboard
- 1.3 megapixel digital camera with 2x zoom and video
- Support for Microsoft Direct Push for real time email delivery
- Handsfree loudspeaker and microphone
Yep.. another sweet looking Windows Mobile phone.. but what do the folks at Digital Trends think of the phone?
Why, oh why, did Samsung shuffle Blackjack’s keyboard? Blessed with Blackjack’s blazing HSDPA online speed and superior multimedia features, one could easily ignore this handset’s other petty peccadilloes. But why purposely place unnecessary and unreasonable hurdles to a cell phone’s primary function? How great your need for a speedy smartphone will determine how much you’ll put up with hunt-and-peck dialing.
Yup.. after looking closely at the keypad, one has to wonder if someone on the Samsung design team should be shot. Dang it.. all I want is a solid Windows Mobile based smartphone. Is that so hard people??
