Samsung Blackjack

[AlamoSpursFan]

$200 after mail in rebate and I'd have to re-up with Cingular for another 2 years. I want it bad, but I'm trying to talk myself out of it.

Should I or shouldn't I?

Mostly good reviews from what I've read so far...

A new Treo? Newer than the 700 series?

Because I really would like the 700w (for the WiFi) and a new one would mean price drops on the old one.

Does the lack of Wifi really hurt these type of phones? Because the Blackjack doesn't have it, but I have a hard enough time finding unlocked wifi hotspots for my laptop anyways.

I mainly need good signal reception in weak areas and that seems to be one of the Blackjack's good points. The Cingular salesdork who pushed this Motorola v551 P.O.S. on me said it got good reception. He lied.

its the TREO 750

its overseas now, or you can buy an unlocked version of it.

Im sure Verizon will get it, the bluetooth is fixed as well as improved reception.

also there is no antenna and it is smaller, while retaining the same screen size

and the best part is the 3G data transfer, so internet browsing will be faster.

also the SD card is behind a little door, so it wont pop out.

He's talking about the new 750w ... it has a few more updates along with the voice-dialing via bluetooth and a couple other additions over the 700wx (which features a couple more things, mainly more RAM, over the 700w.)

I own the 700wx (from Sprint) and jesus, is it nice. I would not give up the bluetooth, and EVDO > trying to find a wireless signal.

The EVDO or 3G would be great. I like quick online browsing and I love my 650, but wish it were Windows based.

This is one gadget I've never felt a desire to get, and I love my gadgets.

Same here. It sucks ass.

Although I do love the Opera Mini web browser (much better, but slightly buggier than Blazer) and AvantGo.
