Amazon.com Product Description
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.
All the power and functionality you need when your office is on the move. See the BlackJack in detail: Front and rear. |
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).
