New details emerge for Samsung BlackJack III
We’ve been hearing a lot of rumbling about this one for a while, and finally have something close to official confirmation about some specifics on the BlackJack III. The last child in the BlackJack family should be dropping on AT&T in October running a full version of Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with a 3 MP camera, 528 Mhz processor, aGPS, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, and more. Sharp readers will note that this is, in effect, a rebadged version of the Samsung i788, which is a bit odd given the BlackJack’s current WM Standard market niche, but we suppose everyone has to grow up sometime, right?
“528 Mhz camera”? Awesome!
lookin pretty sweet
definitely not my cup of tea
it does look pretty cool! i like the shape of it and man, it does look pretty smooth. though i wonder how much it’s going to cost…
This is what the BJ II should have been. They would have had me then, but too late, I’ve already replace my BJ with a 8525.
Seriously though I mean are that many people hanging on saying “Ohh just a few more months until the Blackjack 3. I cant wait. OMFG!!!”
Its the same crap as every other windows mobile phone…
WM Phones are not crap mister! If if you think so, why post on WM articles.
Well because for the most part, all of the phones do the same EXACT thing. Also, IMHO The BJ 1,2, and 3 for the most part look EXACTLY alike.
Just my 0.02…
To this device I say, Meh…
Bring on the Omina!
I might be getting this one….depends on battery life and how that touch screen is going to work. It’s flush so that’s a very good start….
screw windows mobile professional. blackjacks have, in fact, carved out a good market share of winmo att smartphones because they are good smartphones that make good phones, not pdas with a rudimentary and poorly implemented phone system bolted on. this thing will need the integrated windows mobile 7 to make this frankenstein fly before I even think about chucking my bj II or any other standard winmo device.
I don’t think so but in this things case…NO SHIT!!
I wonder who’d they find if they ran that great big ugly thumb print (on bottom right of screen) though the FBI’s database
*Yawn*
He posted here because he’s a troll.
WOW your retarted its a 3MP camera
my mom has the blackjack ii and she loves it. her birthday is in october so this is perfect.
word is samsung has launched this phone in some korean country but it has 2mp camera & windows mobile 6.1 standard. BUT samsung could be sending a 3mp windows mobile 6.1 prof. to at&t
“some korean country” you say TO? lets see, north korea or south korea…
your outstanding knowledge of geography and political affairs is truly impressive.
*yawn*
It is so 2006; another “me-too” device in the vein of the Treo 800W and Moto 9 series. Incrementalism isn’t going to keep them in the game that is quickly being controlled by the iPhone, RIM Bold/Thunder, and Sony’s new slider.
Thats becuase I didnt know which Korea it was being launched in. But its South Korea
It has been for sale in China and HK for several weeks (maybe months) now. It’s the i780 (not 788) and it does have a 2MP camera here (not autofocus). It’s 900/1800/1900 on GSM and 2100 on 3G. Good keyboard and feels great in the hand.
If the US version is quad-band GSM with an auto-focus camera I might take the plunge and see if I can get used to the non-traditional navigation pad/mouse.
Oh, and it’s WinMo 6.0 in China/HK, not 6.1
I will definitely pick this up if it’s released on AT&T. I’ve been dying for a new qwertybar WM phone, as my Cingular 8125 is close to pushing up daisies. I wish AT&T would already nab the HP 910, but I suppose this will just have to do!
