Probably next week, here in the Philippines. I guess. We’ve been invited to a Samsung event this Wednesday so I’m thinking they’ll show us the new Blackjack by then. Reports in the US on the unit being available with AT&T revealed new features.
The new Samsung BlackJack II will be slimmer and gets more juice on the battery department.
– Windows Mobile 6
– HTML email support
– Office Mobile
– 2.4″ QVGA display
– Built-in GPS (!)
– Tri-band 3G UMTS/HSDPA & Quad-band EDGE/GPRS
– 2.0 MP camera
– over-the-air synchronization of contacts, calendar and task lists with Microsoft Exchange Server
– Support for Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008
– Stereo Bluetooth
– Windows Media Player Mobile 10
– WiFi
From the pictures above, there has been some usability changes — the thumb scroll wheel on the side is gone and now replaced with a jog-dial at the center.
More on this next week if and when it will actually be launched. :D See full specs of the old Blackjack here.
P.S.: Any other tech blogger interested to attend the Samsung event can leave a comment.
I did not realise before that sharks are unable to stop swimming in order to sleep. No wonder they are so irritable!
