If your looking for a phone that can access email, easily send text messages, play music, watch video, access the internet, or use it as a modem for your laptop. The Blackjack does it all. Eventhough It does not have the full capabilities of a PDA (cannot create word, excell, or powerpoint files) it will satisfy the vast majority of users needs. The slim design and crystal clear screen make this phone a must have for anyone looking for more than just a cell phone.

The Blackjack is a delight compared to the V3 razr I had before it. The battery is pretty respectable, and interface is relatively user friendly. A strong downside is the lack of real-time e-mail, however, you can set the phone to check your mail as often as every 15 minutes (however this tends to eat up battery as it has to connect, receive, and disconnect from the Internet). The call volume is great and I haven't dropped a call yet. I personally had great service when I had a problem with it, but I am a Cingular Business customer so that may vary. I've had no issue with the Picsell document viewer yet. Still yet to upload it with music, as I've yet to buy a 2G microSD card. One drawback is that if you use Yahoo! mail, you need to be a Mail Plus customer to access it on the Blackjack, or at least that's what I was told by the Cingular service rep (I was a Plus customer anyway so it didn't matter). Overall, it's a treat to use and is light as a feather. Fits in nearly every pants pocket at that too. Strongly suggest it.

Pros: battery, one-handed use (unlike the Q), fast 3G
Cons: spotty 3G coverage, no real-time e-mail

I have switched from my Treo 650 to the Blackjack. I gotta say that I am impress with this phone. I've been using the Treo for the past 3 years (model 600 and 650) but switching from the Palm system to the Window based system on this smartphone was nothing but ease. The phone quality is superb compared to the Treo. When I had the Treo people would have a hard time hearing me talk over the phone. but with the Blackjack, I don't have this problem anymore. Overall, I really like this phone.

I only use 300 minutes or so a month of my calling plan. I got the blackjack for 3G data usage and to replace my 1GB playforsure MP3 player.
When using the 3G or Edge network to listen to online radio stations I tested a fully charged standard battery and you can only get 2 hours worth of listening time using the 3G netowrk and 2 and a half using the EDGE network.
It even uses more juice when using it as a network card for your computer. (You will get 400 kbps or more speed when you use it as a modem).
The problem with the blackjack sucking up so much battery power the usb slot is the same slot that you need to plug in the power cord to recharge it. You can't use the usb, and therefore the proprietary headphone jack, while charging the unit. It relies totally on battery power. I had to buy four batteries on EBAY to listen to eight hours of online streaming music at work. The Blackjack also gets really warm when using the 3G network for watching streaming videos or using it as a modem.
(There is a workaround where you just use bluetooth headphones and your computer connect to the 'net via bluetooth and therefore can use the ONE slot for the power cord.)
For moderate use of maybe a hour of talk time with 30 minutes of checking email or surfing the web the battery last a day or so.
Also using it just as a MP3 player the battery last five or so hours. It's only when using it for streaming music or video or as a modem where you only get two hours of use on a fully charged battery.
I like the blackjack's size and it's pretty easy to type in web addresses and phone numbers with one hand. The screen very impressive.

So the camera viewer is very choppy so its hard to take good pics. Other than that this phone is awesome. A little hard to set up email if you dont find instructions. Other than that its great, fast downloads, great screen. buttons are a bit small but thats just how it is.

Many users have liked this phone a lot and I am in full agreement with them. However, others are posting rediculous reviews about the BlackJack and how much it stinks. First of all, those users need to realize that the BlackJack IS NOT A LAPTOP, nor is the Treo or the Blackberry. They are JUST cell phones that can do a little more.
The BlackJack is an amazing phone. Many people found that the battery life stinks and yes, it's not all that great. But a phone that lets you do virtually anything on it will need plenty of power and Cingular knows this. That is why they give you 2 batteries so you can be using one while charging the other one. Therefore, battery life shouldn't be an issue.
The BlackJack also features an MP3 player, so you don't need to lug around a cell phone and your iPod. Now, you can put two and two together and carry around one device. With Cingular's 3G network, checking the weather, sports, or email has never been faster. See something thats worth remembering? Take a picture or a video clip of it with BlackJack's 1.3 megapixel camera.
I will agree with other users that Windows Mobile isn't that great. Windows overall is not a great OS. But Samsung has done the best they could in working around the flaws of Windows. As for the touch screen, sorry, BlackJack doesn't have one. But the Samsung BlackJack is a SMARTPHONE! NOT A PDA! Those who think that the BlackJack should be a touch phone are in some kind of fantasy world. If the BlackJack were to be a touch phone, it would totally wreck the beauty of it.
I highly recommend the BlackJack to just about anyone. It is great for kids, teens, and buisness people. The Treo and Blackberry are so over-rated when it comes to business. The BlackJack is a phone that will relax you because it does everything and anything whenever you need it to.

The battery issue has been well voiced. You'll get a full day with average use. Every morning just switch out the battery, or plug it up to you pc at work to keep it charged througout the day. Battery cover is difficult to remove however. The finish on the phone makes it durable but slippery.
Samsung and everyone else knows this phone is all about style. It is by far the sleekest pc. of hardware out today. The jogwheel is a nice touch for a non-blkberry unit.
Screen resolution is above average. Keys are more tightly packed than average, but manageable. Speaker quality is above average. Proprietary headset jack makes finding compatible headphones difficult to find to use as an music device.
Couple of software issues - probably related to the limited processor/memory speed. Some applications are slow to open and sluggish. There is an issue w/ the call history function - it sometimes locks up if not exited properly upon last use, necessitating a visit to the Task Manager app. to kill the Call history app.
Because of the processor/memory limitation, having the Task Manager is nice to kill open apps but should not be necessary. Task Manager is one of my most frequently used apps on the unit.
The camera is of average quality for a phone. It is slow in opening and saving pics too.
The media player interface is difficult to use. Its hard to access first of all, then hard to stop a song/video and exit out of.
Outlook syncronization is quick w/ Activesync.

The bottom line: The Samsung BlackJack heralds another 3G-enabled smart phone to Cingular's lineup. While it supports the carrier's video and music service, some design and performance issues trip up this otherwise sexy device.

Pros: The good: The 3G-enabled Samsung BlackJack is sleek, has a gorgeous screen, and a full QWERTY keyboard. Highlights include Bluetooth 2.0, push e-mail capabilities, and good call quality. This Windows Mobile smart phone also comes with support for Cingular Video and Cingular Music services.
Cons: The bad: Navigation controls are cramped, and there is no integrated Wi-Fi. Certain applications take some time to load.

I just wasn't prepared to pay $30/month for internet, plus $15/mo for Napster to listen to music on your phone, plus a call and text plan, plus an add'l plan for watching videos. It's just too expensive for me. I just wanted a phone to listen to music, have a calendar, make calls and text. It's way too expensive to have all the features/month. I would not buy this phone if I knew of all the expense involved.

Cons: Be PREPARED TO PAY for these services each month.
