Samsung BlackJack Smartphone

The BlackJack has a very slim and cell phone-like body, which makes it easier to work and interact with. You can’t necessarily say the same about RIM and Palm’s smartphones. It’s even slimmer than the Motorola Q, and really you can’t ask for much more in terms of the portability factor. Samsung’s BlackJack is really a combination of a lot of successful smartphones (the ones mentioned above). It appears as though Samsung has taken the winning ingredients from nearly all of them, added some innovative spices of its own and released a tasteful dish.


The exterior of the device is black, a sexy choice for a color, with backlit QWERTY keyboard and a gorgeous display with 320x240 resolution and 65K colors. The right edge of the BlackJack has a microSD slot for storage upgrade with a cover, a scrollwheel and a Back button. While we certainly enjoyed the added navigation support, they weren’t as smooth as we had initially thought. However, as you use them on a regular basis, they do tend to soften up, but the initial interactions weren’t thrilling.
