AT&T and Samsung today announced the availability later this year of the BlackJack II, a sleek, smart and simple device powered by AT&T's 3G-enabled BroadbandConnect network that has the familiar look and feel of your desktop with Windows Mobile 6. The BlackJack II had its first public showing today during a keynote address by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at CTIA Wireless in San Francisco.
BlackJack II from AT&T brings the personal computer experience to a slim, compact device ideal for today's mobile consumer. The powerful and performance-driven BlackJack II, which is available in slick black and red wine color options, features a full QWERTY keyboard, 2.4" QVGA color display and front jog wheel to elevate productivity and improve the mobile experience.
Following in the footsteps of the popular BlackJack, the BlackJack II boasts an enhanced feature set, including AT&T Video Share, built-in GPS radio, Quad-band GSM/EDGE and tri-band 3G UMTS/HDSPA, a 2-megapixel camera and a speakerphone.
In addition to a robust feature set, BlackJack II provides users with access to multiple e-mail accounts through Microsoft Direct Push with Outlook Mobile and AT&T Xpress Mail. BlackJack II will be among the first Windows Mobile 6 devices from AT&T to support Microsoft's System Center Mobile Device Manager 2008, which offers companies an end-to-end solution for managing and securing Windows Mobile devices. Employees will also have access to the office computer via Mobile Virtual Private Network (VPN).
BlackJack II also offers support for AT&T Mobile Music and TeleNav GPS Navigator.
The BlackJack II is expected to be available by the end of the year for $150 with a two-year contract and mail-in rebate.
