 Not for the beginner April 22, 2008

The only complaint I have is that the unit doesn't manage voice calls very well. It notifies you that you have missed a call, but provides no date or time the call came in. It has a general call log which is hard to find and provides very limited info. If you like logs for "Missed Calls", "Dialed Calls", and "Received Calls", this is not the phone for you. Probably because its emphasis is on mimicking a computer. Maybe I'm not ready for that yet.
Lots of problems April 3, 2008

It's a decent keyboard cellphone, will all the features you want and even some you don't want.
There are a couple bugs. The GPS is hinky and seems not to perform around tall things like buildings and trees. The buttons freeze somtimes, requiring you power it off. Teh battery life is short... three hours tops.
But the real problem is Microsoft Sync. The phone uses flash memory, so you should be able to add and remove files via USB cable in a click & drag fashion. This is standard for ALL other devices with flash memory.
To get pictures off I have to Sync it with Outlook and email them to myself or use HP snapfish. If I want a new ringtone I have to Sync it and let it import the file. In the mean time it's automatically seized control of my laptop and is using all the CPU trying to suck in all the data in Outlook... even though don't have or use Outlook. I have no option to stop it, nor can it connect to any other email system.
So in sum, phone decent, sync interface is junk.
 Best Phone I've Owned So Far April 3, 2008

Before I start this review I just want to say that I do not use the internet on my phone so this review is a little lop-sided, but for those of you who are like me and cannot afford the internet then this review is for you.
I just got my blackjack II close to a week ago and I must say that this is the best phone that I have owned. I have had a samsung flip phone, and two motorola phones (one being the razr) and this easily tops all of them. For some reason, I have not had a lot of the problems that other people have said they have been having with the phone. I charged my phone two days ago and I still have 3/4 of battery life left after using bluetooth, texting frequently, constantly going through my phone and all the features, and many phone calls. This could be because I have had no conversation since I charged it longer than an hour, but regardless this is a much longer lifespan than some people have said their phone has lasted.
The QWERTY keyboard on the phone took me about a day to get used to, which kinda bothered me a little bit but after about two days I was able to text only one or two errors here or there. While the keys are small, they are spaced out enough to where texting is actually really easy and a lot less awkward than the Motorola Q that I tried out at the AT&T store. The phone plays music on it wonderfully and has really good sound for a music phone. I have yet to get headphones, which actually is one of my irritations because you can only get headphones that were specifically made for the phone. Windows Mobile 6 is a really useful program, especially if you are in the field of business like me and need to access files away from your computer. I am a college student majoring in business, and I have used this phone to review powerpoints for my classes when I do not have a computer around. It shows powerpoints almost flawlessly, but sometimes they are hard to see and so the zoom feature is a necessity (which it does carry). The camera on the phone takes pretty good pictures, though they still have this very slight grayish tint like they did on my razr. I honestly have not used the video yet so I cannot comment on that feature. Perhaps my most abused feature at the moment is the appointment book which I use habitually since have so many events coming up in the next couple of months. It is a great way to keep track of all of my upcoming events, and the fact that the appointments show up on the main screen whenever you look at your phone is perfect for those who constantly forget to check their schedule (like me).
One thing that really bothers me about the phone is that you cannot make any ringtones that are larger than 300k in size. While there are things you can do to fix that, I have not done any of them yet. Regardless, I should not have to go through all of that trouble to make ringtones with an unlimited size. Another problem that I have had with it is I cannot figure out how to connect to activesync through a bluetooth connection, but there are ways to work around using activesync altogether and so it isn't a very big deal. Overall, this is a very good phone if you are a casual user that does not want to pay for all of the extra features. Like I said, if you do want to use the internet on this phone, GPS, or other extra features you may want to find a different review and decide for yourself whether or not this is the phone for you. Regardless, I strongly recommend this phone.

Great product. Free with 2 day shipping...and I just ported my number over from Verizon. Everything went well, and there's no ridiculous rebate to send in to get screwed on. That's what happened last time with my Motorola E815 (Verizon).
Why did I get this phone? I'm in the medical field, and need to stay up to date with emails, calendars etc...and we have Microsoft Outlook Web Access, which synced up perfectly with the wireless data plan. I've downloaded epocrates and Google Maps. Medscape mobile is great too. I was looking at Blackberry, but the lack of 3G was a deal breaker. Also, this was the smallest form factor and had the largest battery (1700mah).
Everything is great so far.
Until they release the iPhone 2 (hopefully 3G, GPS, 32gb...I wish). But this Blackjack II should tide me over until that ideal iPhone2 comes out at a reasonable price (I'm guessing about Jan 2009).
Yes PHONE, but not yet PERFECTION!!!!! February 12, 2008

This is a very nice phone and a better choice over the black model as the black Samsung BlackJack 2 gathers alot of finger prints. The back of the PDA is a completely different material then the one on the black version. Dont let the RED offend your BUTCH man hood. Its a very drak tint of a red. No sign of a GIRLY phone at all. Anyways its a nice phone but i hate the Windows menu option. I wish you had a choice between the Windows and Samsung version of the menu screen. Unfortunately all you can do is change the menu style the way Windows has it layed out for you. The camera is really nice and so is the camcorder, but considering that so many international GSM phones have over 5.0 megapixels, i think its time the US get above a 3.0 as well. the call quality is really clear as well. AT&T has come such a long way since the 1990's. The web browser is really fast, i live in New York City so i wasnt expecting slow speeds since i'm at the mecca of technology central. Im very pleased with my purchase and i got it for 49.99 and Radio Shack and the sales rep was really nice giving it to me at the promo price since i'm not a new customer, it was a 2 year upgrade. The promo price was only for new clients. He was also nice enough 2 not charge me a data package as i told him i was in a hurry and would miss my bus. So i got a total bargain PDA smart phone for only 49.99. AT&T data packages are really expensive. I'd rather have gotten this phone for 0.1 on Amazon but they make purchasing phones so complicated. Compairing this to the BlackJack 1, its only a cosmetic upgrade, nothing groundbreaking has been added in except a larger screen and the scroll wheel which i dont care about as it seems unresponsive to me. The also removed the scroll wheel on the side of the phone from the 1st version. Overall i love the phone just wish the new Samsung PDA had a touch screen as the qwerty keyboard is getting out dated.
