I don’t care what you call it or what it could be called or what it might be, this looks like my Blackjack with some style and much more useful features. I hope that it drops in the U.S. and A. and be named something (exactly this) along the lines of Blackjack II. Maybe with this BJ, Samsung won’t cripple it (bust out the hacksaw) except for 3G.

@Randy
I hope all those specs are right, just that you called it by its proper name (i.e. SGH-i607) instead of its nickname…Blackjack II.

@ Randy

I understand that. I’m just wondering why not make just one model? Why manufacture the i600 for Asia/Europe and the i607 for N.A.?

Does this really benefit their business?

@ Chris

The frequencies listed would imply that this phone is intended for Europe/Asia.

No 850? Why in the world do device makers produce devices without 850 still? Sheer lunacy, IMO…

I looked at the unwired closeups…this is totally a Photon build. My 2 cents anyways

you left out the part about the “mouse-like” features. the video shows someone scrolling a pointer around the home screen.

Could this also be the mysterious BlackJack II that I’ve been hearing about?

Now this is the type of ‘news’ that wee need to see regularly on BGR.

Please stop posting daily musings about the iPhoney.

I hear that SonyEricsson has approached HTC about making a WM handset, where’s the news about this?
