I couldn’t resist and wait for that much anticipated Apple iPhone. Besides, the lack of 3G capability and the ability to manually change batteries is a huge turn-off. For a while now, I’ve been scouting for a PDA or a smartphone and I’ve actually considered the new but expensive Treo 750 and the updated Nokia E61i. Sadly, none of the cellphone or gadget blogs that I read didn’t really gave me good reviews about them. In fact, I relied mostly on gadget forums and tech sites to get feedback about these phones. I guess most gadget blogs aren’t a good source of product reviews since they don’t usually own (or even seen or touched) the devices they’re blogging about. That’s for another discussion altogether.
Moving forward, I was keen on getting myself that well-equipped and appropriately priced Nokia E61i but during my tour to the phone stores, I discovered the Samsung SGH i600 smartphone. It’s commonly known as Blackjack in some regions and was released last December 2006.
Using my old Nokia 6233, I Googled it for a quick review of the feature set and found that it came very close to the Treo and the E61i.

Been playing with it for a couple of days now and the only app I have downloaded into it is Opera Mini. Just love the scroll wheel that controls a Vista-like flipping window. Full review will be up on PTB later this afternoon/evening.
So far, I’m pretty happy with it. Just in case someone asks, it costs just under Php25k.
