 The Samsung BlackJack II is no doubt an improvement over it's predecessor, but some of the so-called improvements don't actually make things better. The scroll wheel was so poor that we wished to return to the clickwheel days of yore. GPS was a nice addition, but was a little pokey finding us. The larger screen and improved battery life are great improvements, but we're always hoping a new generation will be smaller and thinner than the old, not the other way around. In all, it's a solid smartphone, with the same issues that most Windows Mobile 6 smartphones have, mostly in Web browsing and multimedia. Is it better than the first BlackJack? Sure, but maybe not so much better. If you don't need GPS, now might be the time to find a bargain on the original. Release: November 2007. Price: $200.
Pros: Improves upon the original BlackJack with GPS, a larger screen, more memory. Good battery life. Call management and scheduling are great on Windows Mobile 6.
Cons: Scroll wheel stymied us at every turn. Advanced multimedia services aren't so great, lapped by competitors. Time to ditch the proprietary cables.
