Samsung BlackJack Review

[Nezello]

Had this phone since it's launch, NEVER figured oout how to play videos after you record them... Serioulsy does anyone know why you cannot play the videos you record???

[itsNerve]

Samsung built an own phone. With blackjack and hooks.

[josiahtspizzle]

Still have this phone, never synced or updated it. Still my favorite phone by far. ungodly durable. but just a quick question, will it run better/faster if i upgrade it to wm6 or whatever is out now?lol

[jonathan3sk]

you have spots on your table.

[TheTripleCup]

hey are you selling your blackjack by any chance?

[xBloodfatherx]

what does the ipod have to do with the blackjack lol

[CJ5m1th]

I'm not here to bitch. I'm just wondering if you remember where you got the home page 'theme' & where to put the theme once I download it. Thanks!

[simpsonandbieberrox]

is there a way for you to do signiture on it?

[CJ5m1th]

@simpsonandbieberrox Yes.

[flexalumnus]

is there a way that this phone will receive WIFI?

[flexalumnus]

is there a way that this phone will receive WIFI?

[otaruargentino]

[bankhead184]

[maddoxeri5]

can u tell me how to use my memory card to be bale to upload in my cumputer i dont know how to set it in my documents thank u

[MissAlejandra88]

how long does the battery usually last? 1 day 2 days?

[vdogg89]

from what I remember, I could go around 2-3 days without a charge. Of course, if you use a lot of data then that will probaly be only a day

[ManEatingLunchBox]

you can charge while syncing?

[ladya2221]

the blackjack 2 is 10 times better. and dude put some life into your voice

[vdogg89]

Ok I did this review when the Blackjack 1 was brand new. Stop commenting.

[marlo916]

man, mine freezes at the blue startup screen that says windows mobile. just stays there forever. i loved that phone

[DJMOLE91]

do you know what to do if you forget your pass plz help i forgot my pass on my blackjack help???

[videoclip425]

does this phone need Data like the iphone?

[vdogg89]

no it doesnt

[zerosolid49]

every smartphone starting from september 6 needs a data plan...which sucks though

[49rockman]

Septerber 6 is my birthday =D

[zerosolid49]

yes it does iiiiiuhhhrrrr

[pufflesaregay]

im a nokia e71 guy but this phone is decent, the stock battery sucks on this phone, only 2.5 hours

[technologytwilight]

on the back of the phone is the texture snake skinned???

[richmondasare]

does it have twitter

[UnEmploymentDude]

Yes you can download an app.

[Mrkbballin24]

I really recommend this phone to everyone, it's very good especially the keyboard

[SpartanMarble]

um i think on getting this. idk if this will be good, if i have thiswill people think its sucks? like is it cool? my dad has one and says hemight give me it if i want it but i dont know if i should. it looks ugly and so is the menu. But is it good? will people make fun me it?

[Ninjabamm]

I have this phone, its awesome it just seems out dated because of all the new ones. You can change the front so you can see just a picture or the menu or both, you just need to explore the settings and see what you like. It had about 10 options to choose from in the front so its actually flippin sweet. It is cool. I love the full key board, it doesnt suck,

[NintendoEntertainer]

i still have the cingular version! but upgraded to wm 6!

[PureBreadFighter622]

do u kno if they still sell these

[YouPoop88]

You can get them on ebay but i would get the Black Jack 2

[germino777]

i have this phone but how do u put skins for listening to music on it

[loisfan22]

i have this same phone!!! i think its the best for texting but i hate it when i turn it off and it takes forever!!!

[jlackeyfan]

this is probably the best phone I've had. EVER!! had to switch back to it when my quickfire started to malfunction. I HIGHLY recommend it!

[mleonard420]

what is the color scheme/ home screen you have on there? I cant find it on my blackjack and I also have windows mobile 5 on it.

[vdogg89]

It's called Just Black. I downloaded the theme online

[sabresforever4861]

used to have this phone until i switched to tmobile. I Hightly recommend this phone. Its a great phone . I loved mine for a year!

[RDFpokemon]

does it turn off?

[xBloodfatherx]

@sabresforever4861 how do you like t-modile im thinking f switching but the reviews for service is bad

[Eatahoho]

Does anyone know if you can jailbreak this? if so send me a message if you know how or who can

[korrineeex3]

ohh my god. why would you?

[8MunchenBayern8]

the Blackjack is the best phone i have EVER had.

[erenNtR]

3:04 <= That was gay :D

[sk8infreek]

haha yeah it was gay.

"I need your arms around me"

hahah

[erenNtR]

and he replied by :

"The speakers are on the back"

To make sure that you know who the gay is! (the phone :P)

[sk8infreek]

hahah yeah thats hilariouss

[vgdd4]

this is the worst review i have ever seen in my life

[Darkstar2520]

umm EPIX

[kiresanera]

u can also put music in it and then make any song a ringtone and yes u can charge it with a sync cable..

[oaky8]

can the phone charge over usb aswell?

like an ipod

[boatblocker]

sup vdogg..hows the ringtone volume on this phone??

[kubizmas69]

How about video quality?Is it good on this phone?I`m talking about movies

[nurbsenvi]

Blackjack is the only phone that looks original against iPhone yet stylish

[UdeaniKidd]

the phone stinks.

[DORYAKAALEX]

usually windows mobile equipped phones come with a comm. lock manager. i have an unlocked HTC s710 with Windows Mobile 6 installed and in the Comm Lock manager, Wi-Fi is available and free. Does this feature come on the BlackJack as well?

[ghost0315blood]

no none of the blackjacks have wifi

[kaylajean1234]

can you like set pictures as your backround?

[InsertNameHeree]

yes you can. And make recordings you ring tone

[jencalo]

i have this phone and i hate it...freezes too much and the back falls off

[jazzyxfr3sh]

lmfaoo!

this phone got stolen from me

broken in half

and thrown into a toilet at school

i'm kind of happy they did that

bcz now i got the blackjack2

hahah :D

[scarface122]

bought this phone off of someone for fifty bucks, i love it!

[SuperSweet19]

Where do u get the themes??

[sansa234]

is all of that bad stuff really true about this phone i was going 2 get it next week but now im having second thoughts

[vdogg89]

no.

[fireknight187]

good review thank you

[yamyz126126126]

thats the original blackjack im getting a blackjack 2 next week :)

[Kelseyfitz]

is this a blackjack or a blackjack 2?

[Funtasticblogtv]

blackjack is now discontiued in toronto through rogers at least

[digitaldown]

absolutely the worst phone i ever bought. crap. crashes, freezes

loses headset connection

can't charge from usb when battery is dead

nearly impossible to remove the battery

a smart phone with no voice dial? wtf

[Funtasticblogtv]

what's your thought on windows office

[digitaldown]

Yes, the blackjack is physically durable, but riddled bugs and glitches. I really don't like windows mobile either.

[Freenex]

90% of the phones will actually charge through the computer while syncing.

[iant4]

good song awsame phone, im geting the palm centro thou

[turtledogg]

blackjack.....more like black-jack-off

[Rayscee]

Go die.

[ChristSavior101]

The service any good? I've heard many bad reviews about the service.

[vdogg89]

I have hardly any service in my rinkeydink town of 2,000 people. I do however get great service with 3G in neighboring cities. Check their website to see if your location is supported.

[ilikecoffeemilkalot]

ive actually tested AT&T and Verizon in places with no service, and at&t had better service in ALL places, and verizon dropped almost every call. what do they mean about the network with the fewest dropped calls?

[dre4302]

how much does it cost to go on the internet

[vdogg89]

they have a website you know ;)

[ilikecoffeemilkalot]

it depends on your plan, unlimited is about 40 bucks a month, plus the regular bill

[Funtasticblogtv]

rogers has student plan that is really good right now for $25mth - 100 daytime min, 1000monthly min, 500 incoming min, but what's great is the Mi5 you get to select 5 free peeps and then you don't use your min, and can change the names anytime online, you can also add this as value pack if you have other phone(s) and add internet for 30$ per month, extra $5 mnth another person can be added to internet

[gaara62]

I love it when it says "In fact you can charge while syncing" made me giggle

[vdogg89]

Youtube's new annotations! I can finally fix the mistake in my video :)

[orangelemonhead]

in the video do u have windows 5 or 6? and ya it is free.

[orangelemonhead]

and also.... GREAT REVIEW!!!! Thx, it helped a lot!

[orangelemonhead]

ok well i have a couple of q's. one: did u get it for free cuz now it is for free?

two:ummm when u were loooking through stuff it looked like a computer, so umm do u have to be able to go on the internet on ur phone to have this phone?

[vdogg89]

you dont need to have an internet plan. and im sure the phone is free by now

[Chedarkim]

is the internet or gps free ?

[vdogg89]

no it requires a plan and there is no gps

[ninjaboxer451]

haha i understand :) LOL

[MimiSayako]

Can they track down what you look up on the internet explorer? Like do they keep a history file somewhere where they store the info you search for?

[ninjaboxer451]

dirty table imust clean!!:) just kiddin nice review

[vdogg89]

that table just will not clean :(

[slickyxslime]

people are only getting it for $25 because its without the plan and its locked otherwise their pretty expensive...i'm getting one and it cost like $200.

[vdogg89]

are you using it for T-mobile or what

[slickyxslime]

No At&T...its refurb though so the price was a hell of a lot lower.

[cky02495]

its freeee noww! :]

[Funtasticblogtv]

Fido has deal right now buy it for $180 get rebate $100

[Metroid788]

can you take videos with the camera?

[vdogg89]

why not

[brianyoou]

that mirror is a mirror. not a lens.

[talentokie]

Is this a Windows Mobile 5 or 6 that you are talking here.

[vdogg89]

[talentokie]

Thanks. I am gonna buy this today from ATn T.

[sk8er4life707]

[mrisaiad]

[vdogg89]

[flyingeagle2581]

hahaha

[SuperSweet19]

Just wondering... I just had a HipTop 3 but u guys call them sidekicks ova there but anyway, everytime i would take out the battery of the hiptop it would clear everything on my phone.. does the blackjack do that?

[vdogg89]

nope

[randomgirls123]

u r a complete idiot

[jamesdg1]

dude, thanks for the vid. this might acctually convince my parents to get it for me now. i was gonna get the iphone untill i saw another video about how big of a piece of crap it was. great reveiw. 5 stars

[jjjordon360]

i kno i just ordered one today, you can upgrade to wm6! its practivally the same as BJ2 but it isnt shiny who gives a shit?

just get an ipod touch and you get internet free!

[JeyFizzul]

Longer Battery, Bigger Screen, Better Camera, and more Apps.! I give a shit!

[jjjordon360]

true for some

[dolmation1]

no way they give you batteries.

[vdogg89]

yes way?

[romeo1102012]

dood i have this phone and the lcd is messed up and i got to the music i got it from a kidd thanks soo much now i got his old music =]

[lauren2ndborn]

I just purchased one online this morning.Cannot wait to get it!!!!!!

[edraf07]

v_dogg you suck! jk man i love you

mine and dougs pictures are in the slide show, i dont appreciate that....haha

[rockinman101]

can you get music from iTunes onto the phone?

[seauryakumar]

NO MAN ONLY APPLE CAN DO THAT

[jjjordon360]

if its mp3 you can transfer it to moto q (i have one) i dont know about the blackjack but their practivcally the same

[vdogg89]

it functions like a flash drive, just drag and drop the songs into the "my documents" folder of the phone

[fonzhere]

one more thing.

do you pay for the internet????or can you get without it?

[vdogg89]

you can download songs right from your computer and put it on the BlackJack. And no, you dont have to have internet, thats just an upgrade you can do, but its most certainly not needed

[fonzhere]

THANKS!!!

[fonzhere]

thnks this was very helpful

but one thing......you can just download music from your computer right?

thats it. thx :D

[skinnysponge]

im getting a bj right now!

oh its so cool, i love them.

I just love bj's

[bioman27]

blackjack owns blackkjack 2 is a waste of my time since i can get wm6 on my blackjack and the battery life isnt tht great on the first one but it lasts for a day so its all good

[vdogg89]

ya, wm6 works well on the Blackjack 1.

[underfame123]

I just ordered my new red Blackjack 2. Its supposed to be here tommorrow! YAY! I Cant wait!!! Im So Excited!!!

[Treachrocc]

This is a VERY helpful review..i kno im kind of late but im just now about to get this phone.

[evobeatr]

im about to get the BJ 2 i a few weeks!!!

[Averia89]

How'd you get that theme?

[vdogg89]

downloaded "justblack" and dropped it in the Home folder on my blackjack

[ThelostIndian]

is it free, where is "justblack"?

[Excelsion]

i got a blackjack as well its a nice phone the my battery dies like soooo quick even after a few txts literally i take it straight off the charge send like 15txts and get a low battery warning

[vdogg89]

i texted all day, and my battery lasted just fine

[icarmine]

HOW DO YOU PUT MUSIC ON THIS ?

[cbroome77]

go to settings-connections-USB and change it from active sync to Mass Storage device, then when you hook it to your computer with the usb cable folders pop up for you to put mp3's and 3gp videos on it

[icarmine]

thanks man

[gwinsauto]

this so-called "review" of the black jack really distorts the view of how really nice the black jack is.

[vdogg89]

and how do you suppose i do that? i dont have a data plan or anything.

[paintballer753]

nice review but dose it come with software or when you pulg it into your comp dose it just come up with that window??

[gwinsauto]

yeah it comes with software. I have 1. And also the larger battery last the same as the little one, meaning its just a backup battery.

[hunterharkins]

I just got mine, i upgraded it to windows 6 and it is awesome. i highly recomend buying this phone.

[Averia89]

How'd you do that? I've been looking for it, but I'm not sure where I should go.

[vdogg89]

i upgrade as well. it was a pain, but its nice

[skydog711]

yo howd u get the "justblack" layout

[cmp455]

Wow! This was really helpful. It makes it easier to make a decision in buying a new cell phone. Thanks.

[Scottttocs1121]

i have it but my battery life even wit the extended battery SUCKS!!!!!!!!

[3352147]

And i forgot! This table was so dirty! Clean it!!!

[CSX1023]

After seeing this I am SO buying the BlackJack! Thanks!

[MimiSayako]

Is there an earphone jack where you can put any earphones in?

[meowskull]

good question, i didnt see any on there :(

[sup3rsal]

on the same slot where the charge/usb....you cant put any earphones only the ones that are specially made for it..but there are some 3.5mm adapters out there..BUT the bad thing with the adapters is that most of them make the earphones "pop" thay meke a really really and i mean really annoying sound each time a song changes....BUT the BJ IS AWSOME!!!!! I <3 muy BJ!!

[RazorzTheName1991]

no but you can buy a headphone adapter for it.

[ThelostIndian]

actually, I went to bestbuy, and i found these headphones for $25, and they fit in the blackjack. It's really nice, deep bass, high quality, somewhat noise-cancelig headphones.

[DontMessWithTexas45]

I got a new AT&T Blackjack unlocked for sale!!!!!!!

[OTH3R6]

when u put songs on there can u also set them as ring tones

[norcalstockton209]

can any body answer his question

[cbroome77]

yes you can. just click set as-ringtone

[strumtillyudie]

say i get this phone off ebay. now i have this really cheap plan with no internet or data plan, just unlimited text messaging. will the phone still work with the chip i have now?

[vdogg89]

yes, you can simply put your sim card in the phone and it will work immediately

[ddpmj]

where do u get the downloaded skin?

[vdogg89]

not sure off the top of my head, just google it

[todolosdemasfalla]

can u put headphones in this phone?

[ilikecoffeemilkalot]

thanks! I got it this morning and i was lyke lost

[shockinvybz876]

hows the internet explorer on this thing?..i wanna get rid of my sidekick but i need a phone with good internet
