Summary

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...

Strength

Strong Bluetooth, loud, handles calls well and is a serviceable all-in-one device

Weakness

Idiotic keypad, unacceptable battery life, nearly impossible to update

A serviceable all-in-one device with good sound, good Bluetooth, and enough space on a 2gb micro SD card to cover a long flight.

Summary

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...

Strength

Good reception, serviceable keyboard, strong Bluetooth, thin, fast Internet, decent all-in-one device

battery life, unreliable date and time updates, hard to turn off reminder alerts

Summary

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...

Strength

It does not have one single feature in its favour.

Weakness

Everything about the sucker is useless.

Bottom Line

Its a crap phone, don't buy it. Buy a real phone instead like the Nokia N95.

Summary

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,...

Strength

Bright screen, VERY fast internet, thin form factor.

Weakness

A few REALLY annoying design limitations.

Bottom Line

While the phone has a few annoying design limitations, its thin form-factor and fast data rate make it a decent buy.

Summary

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...

Strength

Email accounts, size, decent battery life.

Weakness

Buttons for numbers should be a better contrast than gray.

Bottom Line

If you carry it in your pocket and can't afford the iPhone, this is a decent option.
