The Samsung BlackJack is 3G-enabled, features a vivid screen, and has a complete QWERTY keyboard. Some of the highlights include Bluetooth 2.0, push e-mail abilities, and improved call quality. The Blackjack is a Windows Mobile smart phone that also includes complete support for Cingular Video and Cingular Music services. But unlike a Windows Mobile phone, it does not have a touchscreen or Microsoft Office software capabilities.http://www.samsung.com/us/support/detail/supportPrdDetail.do?menu=SP01&prd_ia_cd=01010100&prd_mdl_cd=SGH-I617ZKAATT&prd_mdl_name=SGH-I617

Samsung has released several downloadable patches for the Blackjack.

In 2006, Research in Motion filed suit against Samsung, claiming that the BlackJack name was too similar to RIM's BlackBerry phone and that it could be confusing to customers. The BlackJack is a direct competitor with the BlackBerry and was launched at the same time as the BlackBerry Pearl. RIM accused Samsung of purposely attempting to confuse customers that were looking to purchase BlackBerry phones. The two companies eventually settled out of court.http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=12793
