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.
 Please note: Your phone will be branded "AT&T" unlike the above picture. All the power and functionality you need when your office is on the move. |
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.
Design
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.
Calling Features
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.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools
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.
Imaging and Entertainment
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).
UMTS Wireless Broadband Coverage
