  • AT&T Launches Samsung BlackJack II in Two New Colors - BlackJack II Now in Blue and Pink

    True to AT&T's mid-cycle refresh strategies, Big Blue has announced that the always popular Samsung BlackJack II will be offered in two new two-tone colors. The BlackJack II will be available in Ocean Blue and Romantic Pink, and will feature white faces and decorative designs on the back - giving the handset a slick, two-tone [...]

  • Is AT&T prepping the Samsung i788 as the BlackJack 3?

    Filed under: Handsets , Samsung , ATT , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA Throw this one in your "hopes and dreams" stack friends, but the web's buzzing with rumors of the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional-powered Samsung i788 as AT&T's BlackJack 3. This new and freshly rumored device apparently will pack the 3G frequencies that the Samsung i780 doesn't have, stylus, optical touchpad, WiFi, HSDPA, GPS, and almost certainly be devoid of any type of forward-facing camera. Of course, all this is guesswork, and features could disappear -- bye bye, WiFi, GPS? -- or be added if and when it comes to market. Here's to more of the same, AT&T!

  • Windows Mobile 6 upgrade for Samsung BlackJack hits today

    Filed under: Software , Samsung , ATT , Windows Mobile After having given its newer BlackJack II cousin plenty of breathing room in the WinMo 6 spotlight, Samsung's finally doubling back to bring the original up to spec . No, seriously: as of 5PM Eastern Time today, you'll be able to hit the attached link and download Windows Mobile 6 (an official ROM, finally) for your old-skool BlackJack in all its glory. For folks not in need of the II's GPS, the upgrade should breathe new life into a handset that still holds its own in the smartphone pack, and for some time now, has been just one small upgrade away from avoiding the proverbial glue factory. Let us know how it goes, updaters! Note: Prior to 5PM EST, you'll be redirected to an old Windows Mobile 5 update for the phone. Hang tight, folks!

  • Brief: Video unboxing of Samsung BlackJack II

    The Samsung SGH-i607 BlackJack II launched over the Turkey weekend and we’ve got an unboxing video for you guys to ogle - courtesy of WMExperts . If you like what you see, head on over to your nearest AT&T store and grab your very own BlackJack II for about $150 (after contract, of course).

  • AT&T issues Samsung SGH-i607 BlackJack recall on the downlow

    Here’s another bit of bad-news to put a damper on the holiday spirits of all Samsung SGH-i607 BlackJack owners out there. In addition to still not having an official Windows Mobile 6.0 ROM upgrade , it seems that AT&T and Samsung is quietly recalling all BlackJacks manufactured between November 2006 and February 2007. Word comes from AT&T’s official support forums and points toward faulty antenna hardware. The antenna apparently works itself loose over time and causes wishy-washy signal strength and dropped calls. Warranty centers have been advised of the recall, so if you’ve been noticing more than the usual amount of dropped calls and crap-for-reliability signal strength, hit up AT&T and see what you can get in the way of a replacement. But, don’t hold your breath for a new BlackJack with that WinMo6 ROM .

  • AT&T and Samsung quietly recalling Blackjacks?

    Filed under: Samsung , ATT We're still hunting down hard info on this one, but according to users on AT&T's official support forums, Samsung Blackjacks manufactured between November 2006 and February 2007 are the subject of a quiet recall due to a antenna issue. Apparently certain internal components are wearing oddly over time and causing the antenna to loosen and disengage, causing dropped calls and poor signal strength. A service advisory has apparently gone out to warranty centers, so if your Blackjack is acting a little flaky, now's the time to get on the horn.

  • Samsung BlackJack II launches Friday on AT&T

    Filed under: Handsets , Samsung , ATT , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS Hoping to catch a little Black Friday love, Samsung and AT&T will be launching the BlackJack II at the tail end of this week, November 23. The Windows Mobile 6 Standard device -- successor to AT&T's pretty darned popular BlackJack -- features integrated GPS, a 2 megapixel camera, HSDPA, support for Video Share, and stereo Bluetooth and will be available both in the original's black (albeit a bit glossier) and in "red wine." Black launches first, with red wine following on December 6 for $149.99 on contract after rebates. Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Samsung SGH-i617 BlackJack II confirmed with integrated GPS - available Black Friday

    We’ve just gotten confirmation that the new Samsung SGH-i617 BlackJack 2 (II) will be sporting an integrated GPS module. The SiRF III GPS receiver inside the Samsung BlackJack II is reportedly the real deal - not some cell-tower triangulation, faux-GPS. AT&T’s BlackJack 2 promo website reveals that the handset will sport “integrated GPS,” indicating that the GPS feature in the BlackJack II is hardware based. However, it remains to be seen whether or not the GPS hardware will be limited to the TeleNav software or if it’ll be free to make use of any GPS software on the market. We’re hoping for an un-crippled GPS module. As we all know, the Samsung i617 BlackJack II will be rocking a Windows Mobile 6.0 OS with a camera bumped-up to 2 megapixels. The quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM radio and US-friendly HSDPA (850/1900Mhz) should be pulling duty as the Samsung BlackJack’s successor come this Friday - that would be Black Friday, for the uninitiated. Of course, we’re all still left wondering where the hell is the Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade for U.S. BlackJack users ?

  • Shiny releases coming up for AT&T

    Filed under: Handsets , LG , Samsung , ATT , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS In case our really poorly constructed pun in the title didn't help reveal what we're talking about, let's come right out with it: we're hearing that the LG CU720 Shine slider should be launching as soon as today, and certainly within the next handful of days. Along with it will be the CU515 (also from LG), the Samsung A747 flip, and the BlackJack2 on the smartphone end of the spectrum. It's a 3G cornucopia -- just in time for Thanksgiving, eh?

  • LG Prada, Samsung Blackjack II, Moto Z9 show up in AT&T's system

    Filed under: Handsets , LG , Motorola , Samsung , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS Yep, we kinda knew about all these, but it's good to get a little more confirmation that they're still all on track. The LG Prada (alias " Vu2 ," alias CU920) has shown up for inventory tracking alongside the Motorola Z9 slider and the Samsung BlackJack II . The Vu2 could end up being one of AT&T's first MediaFLO-compliant handset for mobile TV on the network, and we don't really expect it until early '08 at this point; the BlackJack II looks ready to launch from the press shots we've seen, though, and we wouldn't be surprised if it hit before the year's out. The Z9 could be the hot slider we mentioned earlier today , suggesting a launch some time in the first quarter. [Thanks, anonymous tipster] Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Samsung's BlackJack II outed as the i617

    Filed under: Handsets , Samsung , ATT , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA Don't worry BlackJack fans, Samsung does indeed seem to have a true BlackJack II successor in the works for you, unlike that stylus-based i780 pretender to the throne. Turns out the i617 -- which we saw pass the FCC yesterday -- will be doing the honors, but unfortunately it's not terribly clear what those honors will be. AT&T is a lock, thanks to the HSDPA 850 / 1900, and of course Windows Mobile 6 will be the main attraction, but there's no confirmation of WiFi or any other notable hardware upgrades just yet other than a bump to 2 megapixels from the original's 1.3. As for looks, we'll let you make up your own mind, but the design isn't much of a departure -- there's still a back hump -- but everything is considerably more shiny this time around. No word on price or availability. There's a shot of the back after the break. [Via Mobile Phones Reviews and Tips ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
