My battery life is acceptable with about 2 days between charges, including 2 hours of talk time and 1 hour of MP3 streaming from SOMA FM http://www.somafm.com - I use TCPMP and set it to 3G only (I'm in San Francisco so I'm covered).

I primarily use it as a data device to tether my OQO via Bluetooth PAN or my MacBook via USB. My main voice device is still my Nokia N80 (soon to be replaced with teh N95).]]>Dec 31st 2006 2:14AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/Dec 31st 2006 2:43AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/
Either I'll end up getting this in a few weeks to replace my SLVR, or wait for the hyped up Apple iPod phone.]]>Dec 31st 2006 4:59AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/Dec 31st 2006 5:17AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/Dec 31st 2006 9:59AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/Dec 31st 2006 1:16PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/Dec 31st 2006 3:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/Dec 31st 2006 3:55PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/Dec 31st 2006 7:02PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/Dec 31st 2006 7:12PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/Jul 25th 2007 8:09AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/
One word - for now: E62.]]>Dec 31st 2006 7:37PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/Jan 1st 2007 10:41AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/

I got a video of me Slinging!]]>Jan 1st 2007 1:50PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/
I am in 3G 80% of the time and I love it. I don't need WiFi and don't miss the touchscreen. I love WM5 phones over Symbian and this phone suits all of my needs.

I picked up the extended battery and cover and the battery is perfect. People who were upset with the battery performance will be very happy. The new cover comes out flush with the camera lens bump so it looks very nice, unlike that link to the 3125.

I get new phones pretty often and would love to go to the Blackberry 8800, but that will not be 3G, so it looks like I will be sticking with my Blackjack for a while.

Cheers!]]>Jan 1st 2007 10:53PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/Jan 2nd 2007 5:21AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/btw happy new year]]>Jan 2nd 2007 12:39PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/Jan 2nd 2007 1:44PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/Jan 2nd 2007 6:42PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/Jan 2nd 2007 10:00PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/
Anyone who's currently restricting their BlackJack to EDGE or GPRS speeds, you might as well save your money and get a Nokia E62 or HTC Excalibur (T-Mobile Dash).]]>Jan 3rd 2007 11:26AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/
I switched from the Nokia E61 to the BlackJack, and the size difference alone heavily favors the BlackJack -- it's so small, and the pictures don't do it justice. I found the E61 to be quite slow (and I've read the same for the E62), and taking a lot of clicks to just make calls. I love the thumbwheel on the BlackJack. Not a Windows fan, but Windows Mobile was refreshing after the Symbian on the E61 and the Palm OS on my Treo before that.]]>Jan 3rd 2007 9:15PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/
Mine arrives from Cingy next week sometime.... can't wait!]]>Jan 15th 2007 3:13AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/
As for the ease with which the battery is depleted, I agree -- after an all-day business trip, a few hours of phone time, four or five emails, and a few dozen photos, the blackjack kind of poops out by around 5pm. However, your review failed to mention (perhaps I missed it) that it comes standard with an extra battery and charger, which can be swapped out in a pinch, something that I need to do at least one day each week. ]]>Jan 15th 2007 5:25PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/12/31/hands-on-with-the-samsung-blackjack/but i had a black jacj got it about a month and a half ago , it fell once out of my pocket and the screen got green , sisnt break tho and half the keys stoped working so i called cingular and just bc it was like 5 days more than 30 they said the couldnt do anything i think thats fuckin hella shitty bc i spent so much fuckin money on that shit and it broke and the fuckin company said they couldnt do shit about it
