BlackJack II, Video First Look
There ya go, kids, a quick unboxing and Video First Look at the Samsung BlackJack II, available for $149.99 with contract from AT&T. It's a little shorter than we'd prefer, but as we mentioned earlier it's a travel day for us. We'll definitely have more later, because we respectfully disagree with the Boy Genius's assessment that the Q9h is better than the BlackJack II. No sir: the BJII is tops in our book. We'll explain later, we promise.

BlackJack II Must-Install: GPS Hack
Our First Look at the BlackJack II is coming just as soon as YouTube finishes processing it. Meanwhile, if you're one of the lucky ones to have picked up this mamma-jamma, MoDaCo has a download for you. See, the BlackJack II has GPS built-in, but by default it only wants to work with TeleNav (an issue we were worried about from the get-go):

Blackjack 2 Photos Emerge
Well, it’s not the i780 that the FCC just passed, it was the SCH-i617, aka the Blackjack 2.... It does look like the main buttons are placed a bit more nicely - reducing constant accidental pressed.

Blackjack 2 Rocks Touchscreen?
After reading Andrew’s full-throated defense of the Treo over at Treonauts, I was slightly abashed to realize that the Treo really does still have a very nice form factor - it’s just that Palm got it right early and hasn’t managed to significantly improved on it. To wit: * Mobility Today is one among many sites showing a photo and video of this sweet-looking Samsung device.

AT&T Windows Mobile 6 Delay Because of Good Messaging?
Well Well, check out this little tibit from the TreoCentral Forums: A mention today in the 750 forum makes the third instance I have heard that the ATT WM6 upgrades are being held up by the delays of GMM 5.0.... However, since the GetGood functionality is part of ATT’s base ROM, and since GMM 4.x versions are supposedly incompatible with WM6, the whole shooting match is waiting on GMM 5.0 to be complete.

Windows Mobile 6 on the Blackjack - Sept 17th?
We have been wrong before about the release date for the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade for the Samsung Blackjack, so take this one with a grain of salt. Smartphone Thoughts is reporting: Now, word is circulating that the production release of Windows Mobile 6 for the BlackJack will hit the streets (or maybe just AT&T’s website) on September 17th.

Review: HTC S710 (Vox)
Way back when I first unboxed the HTC S710 (aka the HTC Vox), a reader commented that my voice sounded giddy. Indeed, I was giddy. The s710 was (and is) an exciting form factor for Standard-Edition Windows Mobile phones - a candy-bar slider that includes both a standard 12-key phone pad and a full qwerty keyboard. But innovative form factor does not a usable device make. How does the s710 stand up to actual use? Read on for the full review.

ATT's new Video Share Service AND WM6: Coming to Blackjack This Summer?
When I loaded the hacked Windows Mobile 6 ROM on there, I noticed something very, very odd. There was a new setting and a hidden application that kept loading itself in the background no matter what I was able to do, and it was called "Video Share." So today Mobility site points us to an AT&T announcement that this summer they'll be rolling out a real-time video sharing service. The page that displays compatible phones on the Video Share site doesn't list the Blackjack (yet!), but it does list two other Samsung phones. The fact that Samsung is on board with Video Share *and* the fact that there's a funny little "Video Share" application on my WM6-hacked Blackjack tells me it will be added to the list. It also makes me *strongly* suspect that my earlier doom and gloom about the Windows Mobile 6 date for the Blackjack was wrong. A late July release for Video Share bodes well for the new ROM that supports it on the Blackjack.

WM6 on a Samsung Blackjack
The leaked ROM was taken off of the forum where I found it, which is unsurprising. I imagine that it wouldn't be too difficult to find with a little Googling, but here's the thing, I think I'm going to recommend against doing that. Not just because you'll be in sketchy legal territory, but also because the update process didn't go very smoothly - my Blackjack froze on the screen you see pictured here. I was worried I was going to have a thin little brick. Luckily, though, it came out ok after I removed the battery. There's not a lot of surprises here - it's Windows Mobile 6 on a Blackjack. I don't think it's the final update, though, as the boot time was very long and there were a few little strange spots in the settings (Hardware Rev0.0 -- what!?).
So the verdict is: wait. I hope you won't have to wait long. In the meantime, you can stew by watching this quick little video of a Blackjack running Windows Mobile 6.
