>> Hi I'm Bonnie Cha, Senior Editor at CNET.com and we're here today at CTIA 2007. Right here we've got your First Look at the Samsung Blackjack 2 so the major improvements were done to the hardware. It comes in 2 colors, in this burgundy which is really nice and black as well. They've added some nice dedicated keys down here and the screen is a little bit bigger. It's also a bit bigger but it's for a good reason. They've made more room for a larger battery because I know the original blackjack had some battery issues so that'll be a good thing. So Windows Mobile 6 it now has built-in GPS as well as Bluetooth. This has been announced for AT&T; it's about 150 dollars with a two-year contract. Availability still no specific date, but it should be by the end of the year. So it's looking pretty good. We're looking forward to checking out if performance is improved. This has been your First Look at the Samsung Blackjack 2. ^M00:00:50 [ Music ] ^M00:00:54

Samsung BlackJack II - black (AT&T) Review
The good: The Samsung BlackJack II improves on its predecessor with Windows Mobile 6; GPS; a 2-megapixel camera; and more memory and better performance. The smartphone also features a larger display and enhanced full QWERTY keyboard as well as HSDPA support, Bluetooth, and AT&T Video Share support.
The bad: The front jog wheel feels loose and unresponsive, and the smartphone uses Samsung's proprietary connector port for headsets and other accessories. The BlackJack II lacks Wi-Fi, and there's also no support for voice dialing. We also had some ActiveSync connection problems.
The bottom line: Although the Samsung BlackJack II doesn't bring any revolutionary upgrades, there are a number of welcome additions, including GPS and better performance, to make it a worthy successor and a good-value smartphone.
