Samsung's latest update to the venerable i320 packs a serious punch. Just like its predecessor, the i607 BlackJack is slim and light--one of the lightest and flattest smartphones on the market--this time though, it features impressive innovations, like HSDPA 3G high-speed data capabilities, stereo Bluetooth, an advanced music player, and more.

With Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition software, and a big color screen, this device is the perfect choice for professionals who want to stay on top of their game. <table align=right width=150 cellpadding=10> <tr> <td> <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/wireless/detail-page/B000KJS8CI-1-sm.jpg" border=0 align=top>

<small><b>All the power and functionality you need when your office is on the move. See the BlackJack in detail: Front and rear.</b></small></td></tr></table> The BlackJack lets you do things you'd typically need a PC to do, like email, text messaging, instant messaging and web browsing--all from one integrated phone. What's more, the phone's software is designed to sync seamlessly with email, contacts, and calendar information on your PC. The BlackJack also offers great mobile music and video options, thanks to Windows Media Player. With the phone's business, communication, and entertainment applications, and a Cingular MEdia Max plan that supports high-speed streaming via UMTS and HSDPA, the possibilities are endless.

<B>Design</B>
The BlackJack goes with a tried and true design that makes it easy to communicate at a moment's notice. The large, 320 x 240 screen supports over 65,000 colors, while a QWERTY keyboard just below the screen makes typing out emails, SMS messages, notes, presentations, and more a breeze. A side scroll wheel is conveniently tucked away on the side, making navigation when accessing the music player and other various applications a cinch when needed. A five-way selection button allows you to navigate and control the Windows Mobile interface, while soft keys on either side of the selection button make it easy to quickly access important phone and productivity functions--all of which make the BlackJack a snap to use one-handed.

A microSD/TransFlash memory card for expanding the BlackJack's memory is located on the top right-hand side of the phone. Connectivity is provided by USB, infrared, and Bluetooth. You'll also find a speakerphone, and a 1.0+ megapixel camera with video capture capability, which is housed on the rear of the device.

<B>Calling Features</B>
The BlackJack has all the latest calling features folks have come to expect from a high-end handset. The built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Speaker independent voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names, while the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible. A ringer and picture ID system makes it easy to identify your most common callers.

<B>Messaging, Internet, and Tools</B>
The BlackJack is designed as a complete solution for people who want to bring their office with them. The unit comes packed with mobile versions of Outlook, Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger. Outlook Mobile features integrated calendar and email functions, as well as a contacts list that is cleverly integrated with the phone's dialing functions. Robust SMS and MMS functionality is built into the Windows Mobile interface, too.

Microsoft's ActiveSync software keeps the device synced with all of your PC's Outlook information (via Bluetooth or USB).

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the BlackJack, including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a to-do list, and an alarm clock. A predictive text entry technology is also included.

<B>Imaging and Entertainment</B>
In addition to the 1.0+ megapixel still camera, the BlackJack is capable of recording video clips to its built-in memory, or to the memory expansion card. The inclusion of Windows Media Player on the BlackJack opens up a whole range of possibilities for this phone. Use it as a digital music player, or sync the device with Windows Media Player on your PC to download video.

Instead of downloading media to your phone, why not stream directly from your phone? With UMTS and HSDPA support built right into the BlackJack, you'll be streaming and downloading at speeds so fast your head will spin. Used in combination with one of Cingular's MEdia Max plans that supports Cingular Video and MobiTV (additional Cingular charges apply), the BlackJack will allow you to play high-quality news clips, sports clips, weather clips, and more--right on your phone. And with Cingular's exclusive partnership with HBO Mobile and HBO Family Mobile, you'll never be at a loss for something good to watch.

With features like stereo Bluetooth headphone capability, and support for Java based applications and games, the BlackJack shines in the entertainment department. When the feeling strikes you, jam out to your favorite music on the unit's advanced mp3 player, and because the BlackJack sports a microSD/TransFlash memory card slot, you can load up all your favorite music and bring it with you (memory cards sold separately). And because the phone supports MobiRadio, in addition to streaming video and TV, you can listen to your favorite radio station via the supported digital radio service--great for times when you feel like listening to new music (additional Cingular charges apply).

<b>UMTS Wireless Broadband Coverage</b>
Learn More about where UMTS coverage is offered.

<b>Warning:</b> If you want to enjoy the full audio and video capabilities of your UMTS phone, please select a MEdia Max service plan option during checkout. If you do not sign up for a MEdia Max service plan option, you will be paying per KB when you use the over-the-air UMTS audio and video features on your phone (upwards of $10 per minute).

<B>Vital Statistics</B>
The Samsung SGH-i607 weighs 3.50 ounces and measures 4.45 x 2.32 x 0.46 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3.0 hours of digital talk time, and up to 264 hours of digital standby time. It features UMTS with HSDPA capability and runs on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA 850/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Great Phone, Really Good Software.......2007-06-02

I have had a Blackjack for a month now and am very happy with the phone. I previously had a Pocket PC phone with a full slideout keyboard and almost never used it for replying to email or accessing the web, but with the Blackberry style keyboard, I find myself constantly using it to reply to mail and have used the web browsing several times.

A couple of minor issues, and this about the only 'less than perfect' aspects of the phone:

1) I carry the phone in my pocket and therefore use the key lock. To unlock you need to hit the power button on the top, the unlock key and then asterisk. A little clunky. (PS If you have it locked and the phone rings, it will let you answer buy just hitting the answer key).

2) The meeting reminders keep ringing until you dismiss them. It would be really nice if it defaulted to just one ring to remind you. There is prob a setting somewhere to address this.

Great phone for the price!

BlackJack bluetooth - a show-stopper.......2007-05-20

Yesterday I received the BJ, spent half the night plying with it (including pretty painful process of downloading and installing a new firmware), only to discoverer at morning two "features" which made me return it without second thought:

1. once paired with more than one BT device, it requires several steps manual setting to switch b/w them; i.e. it does NOT recognize and connect to a paired devise automatically (like my old RAZR, for example), and once you connect it to, say, an earphone, you'd need to manually re-connect it to, say, GPS or car BT, if needed - just to re-connect to earphone again!..

2. speaking of car BT - it doesn't really work; well, it pairs with it, but doesn't support phone book synchronization - making the car BT unusable (try to find a contact in BJ while driving!); bewteen my 40K car and BJ I chose to change the phone ;) again, with my RAZR the car BT worked perfectly fine; funny thing - while googling for solution I found out that this is a well-known problem - and people are waiting for SAMSUNG to fix this since 2004! what a shame...

I recognize bluetooth problems might not be that important for others, but to me lack of such a basic functionality is ridiculous - it's like buying a luxury car to discover it doesn't have a radio installed... For me it was a show-stopper... bye, BJ!

My Favorite New Toy.......2007-05-14

So far this phone has been stellar. I can echo the previous comments on the sexy form-factor and the utility of the phone. After custimizing the home screen, my fiance' played around with it and insisted on getting one too. Easy navigation is a big deal for her, and the sidebar feature (push and hold the scroll wheel) - which is customizable, as is most of the interface on this phone - was a big selling point.

My phone came with the extended battery and cover included; that was actually a pleasant surprise. However be aware that it doesn't ship with a belt clip or case. You'll want to pick one of those up as well as a car charger and a microsd card.

The phone is light and sleek w/ the standard battery, but the extended battery gives it a much nicer feel in the hand. My fiance' actually prefers it w/ the extended battery in, and she's got a strong bias for small phones.

Of course it's not quite perfect. I have 2 major beefs w/ this phone:

1. No Wifi. This is extremely annoying because the SGH-i600 in Europe has Wifi, and it is essentially the same phone.

2. Battery life: not utterly miserable, I can go two days of regular use (texting, regular calls to the missus, minimal browsing) before the battery goes out. This is on par with my previous phone, the Audiovox SMT-5600. But it should be better, considering they did so much to keep the power low, all of which annoy the heck out of me:

-Proprietary USB cable

-Three button presses to unlock keypad (since the keypad is locked no user activity is anticipated and the device drops into a deep sleep mode. Power button wakes the phone from this state - that's my guess)

-No LED

-Default 10s till screen turns off

These things do work (and the last is customizable), but my previous phone had none of these 'features' and it still had generally the same battery life.

All in all this is a great phone for the smartphone newbie or geek alike.

Great Phone.......2007-05-11

Just switched from Sprint over to Cingular because of this phone. I had decent service at Sprint, however, I wasn't thrilled with their phone selection and when I noticed that Amazon had this guy for $25 bucks I couldn't resist; I was going to have to pay a ETF on two lines, but I looked at it as spending the money on getting the Blackjack and the LUC500 (which looks and functions great too).

Well, now that I got that out of the way here comes a breif review, I have only had the phone a few days so I have not had the time to fully look through the phone.

At first glance Positives:

1. Thinness and overall size (seemed larger in pictures)
2. Shipped with two batters (standard/Extended) both last longer than my Samsung A900
3. Lots of features
4. light weight

At first glance Negatives:

1: No wifi
2. ringers could have been better
3. Ringer volume control could be better, only 1,2,3,4, and Loud for settings (not loud enough)
4. I will keep my eye open for some more

Works fine for me..........2007-05-10

I don't know what happened to P.Feng, but Google Maps and Google work fine on mine. I also put on a Java-based Sudoku game that works fine.

With the (included) extended battery, I get good battery life, calls are clear, signal is good. I tried out typing on a Blackberry Pearl and the Blackjack for comparison, and the Blackjack was much easier. I don't make many typos, but more than I would on a regular keyboard, of course.

The camera works well in good lighting if you stand still, if it's dark it's not so good. The video player works fine, I compressed a personal video to about a megabyte for a minute, it looks bad on the computer but on the Blackjack screen it looks pretty good. I won't give up my MP3 player for the music player on the phone, but it works sufficiently if I didn't have my regular player with me.

I didn't get the wired headphones in my box... don't buy them at Cingular because they'll charge you $20. Buy them online, much cheaper for the same thing. Either way, those headphones are not comfortable, and being used to the Shure's that I use for my MP3 player, the sound quality leaves much to be desired. I am going to try an adapter to see if the Shure's sound a lot better or not, or if the phone playback just isn't very good.
