Samsung Blackjack-2-SGH-617 Black Cell Phone

User rating

4.5 Read reviews - Add review

The updated Blackjack, the Blackjack2 SGH-617, steps up with a bigger battery providing a claimed talk time of up to 7 hours. Version two also replaces the D-pad with a scrolling jog wheel as its main navigation tool. Key features include a 2.0 megapixel camera, WM6 for smartphones, HSDPA, document viewer and a faster processor with more internal memory.

At a Glance:

What’s Good: Compact, stylish Windows Mobile 6 smartphone; HSDPA (3G) high speed data; Improved battery life; GPS; Center mounted jog wheel

What’s Not Good: QWERTY keys are a little small and a little slippery; No touchscreen; Display is smallish for a smartphone

Bottom Line: Blackjack II is a solid improvement over its predecessor. There’s nothing revolutionary here, but faster hardware, improved battery life, and speedy 3G data make this a worthy update to the popular original.

Battery

Pros: Everything is great.

Cons: Having problems with battery.

Summary: I have been reading that this Black Jack II has a longer battery life than the Black Jack. Well i have the II and have had it replaced twice because my battery lasts about 3 hours fully charged and it still doing the same thing... any suggestions????
