We have been sent the new and exclusive smartphone from Rogers Wireless to review. The Samsung i616, otherwise known as the Samsung BlackJackII, or the “Samsung Jack”. This has just been released by Rogers Wireless and is available with different packages that range in price from $199 – $399.
The main features on this device is that it comes loaded with Windows Mobile 6 – gives you the ability to read, not write, your PowerPoint, Excel Word documents, a 2 megapixel camera, 3G connectivity to the net and obviously access to sending/receiving emails. In addition to all the standard calendar, contact, games this comes loaded with GPS by Telenav – the cost is an additional $10 a month added to your bill for its use. It is really lightweight and can fit comfortably in your suit, jeans as it’s only 4 ounces.
Here are some additional dimensions on the BlackJack II:
Thanks for posting this review, I have been considering the black jack since it launched and I like your review of it..
So you made up my mind for me.. Thanks!

Great review, I just purchased this phone.
Do you have any idea of how to get ringtones for it?

I've been looking at the review for this phone, and I really believe that a significant part of a phone review is missing from this review. The Battery Life! It is absolutely horrible, I feel this needs to be addressed. There is a significant difference between the Samsung SGH-i616 and the i617. The samsung i617 has a rated 7 hour talk time, the i616 has 2.5 hour talk time. i617 has sdhc support, the i616 ONLY supports standard micro-SD upwards of 2gb. I have been looking around and nearly everything else is identical, even the battery. Both phones use the same 1700mah battery, but the significant battery life rating is puzzling! BEWARE before purchasing
