The Samsung BlackJack SGH i607 phone is an impressive PDA/mobile phone; it being the latest mobile phone that Samsung has to offer with Cingular being the first cellular carrier to offer this exclusively. What is promising in the horizon is the Apple iPhone that will be available sometime in June -- a formidable player to contend with the Samsung BlackJack SGH i607. The BlackJack comes with two batteries (a standard and an extended battery). The extended battery can last you for nearly 2 weeks (probably more depending on usage) without needing recharging on average when using nearly most of the multimedia features: mp3, camera, Bluetooth, etc. The QWERTY keyboard is easily intuitive.
The two batteries as mentioned earlier are standard and extended batteries. For those who would prefer the slimmer and lighter aesthetic look and feel may be comfortable with the standard battery and the standard battery cover.
Removing the battery cover of the BlackJack was very difficult to remove. You will need to use significant force to slide the battery cover almost causing thumb to become sore!!! Samsung should look into this matter carefully.
The BlackJack comes with the basic travel adapter, battery charger, and a data cable. It would not be a bad idea for a $500.00 cellular phone for Samsung to throw in a car charger for free. You would think that a high-priced phone would include a car charger.
One of the main drawbacks to the BlackJack is Samsung decision not to include a 3.5mm standard jack. The consumer is forced to utilize headsets with Bluetooth enabled capability if you want to listen to your mp3s in private. On average, the cost of a Bluetooth enabled headset will run you about $70.00 with better sounding headsets costing about $125.00 and more. As to why Samsung decided that a 3.5mm jack was not needed that would allow customers the choice of selecting hundreds of headphones is beyond my comprehension. There is a 25-pin USB/data cable/headset/power jack located on the left side of the BlackJack. Currently, there is no 25-pin conversion to a 3.5mm jack for the BlackJack.
