WM6 has been on the old blackjack for ages! I am running WM6 on my blackjack, and its a charm!]]>Oct 23rd 2007 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/

It's nice to see AT&T touting other mid/high-end smartphones besides that one with the touch screen surrounded by black gloss and metal.

Now if Verizon would just get off their asses and SHOW us why their network is better instead of just telling us, I'd stop complaining.]]>Oct 23rd 2007 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/
Now they are doing it again with the blackjack 1. They promised a WM6 upgrade for all original blackjack owners, but are now coming out with a second version with the new OS, and pulling there previous statements.

They just lost me as a customer. I'll be getting another plan on a better carrier, one that actually cares about their consumers and listens to what they want, and actually delivers on their promises.]]>Oct 23rd 2007 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/Oct 23rd 2007 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/Oct 23rd 2007 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/

I mean, really ... I didn't know that a non-duplicitous and consumer responsive carrier existed. I'd love to be proven wrong on this one. ]]>Oct 23rd 2007 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/Oct 23rd 2007 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/
Actually, I have heard some good things about prepaid, which I might just do. At least then you control your minutes.

I have 7k+rollover minutes, and I thought they were paid for, so I started using them, and they billed us for them. WTF? Are they not minutes you have already paid in full for? Correct me if I am wrong here.

Who knows, I might just start up my own wireless service. Oh would that be fun to get past the FCC.

oh yeah, sorry about the double post. The commenting system on here seems borked at times.]]>Oct 23rd 2007 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/
If you are, a phone call to AT&T is in order.]]>Oct 23rd 2007 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/
between that, misleading us on insurance, and a pile of 6 broken phones, something's got to give, and I think that will be me.

or it may just be they are total arses in Michigan, and nowhere else.

That's what's so hard about good product design. It's not so much what you put in, it's also what you leave out. What the hell use is GPS on a screen that small? GPS for hikers? Geocachers? Yeah, those markets are big.

Samsung has too many geekgineers and not enough normal people doing product design.]]>Oct 23rd 2007 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/Oct 23rd 2007 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/


integrated GPS is excellent, go buy tomtom software, slap it on, and listen to the directions...no need to look at the screen]]>Oct 23rd 2007 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/Oct 23rd 2007 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/Oct 23rd 2007 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/Oct 23rd 2007 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/I use it in many ways, but mostly to drive and discover new twisty roads, it's working for me.]]>Oct 26th 2007 1:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/I use it in many ways, but mostly to drive and discover new twisty roads, it's working for me.]]>Oct 26th 2007 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/

I wasn't impressed by it and unless they fixed the annoying flaws in WM6 I'm not sure how much better it will be.

I hated not being able to edit tasks and some other things like I could on my 8125.]]>Oct 24th 2007 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/Oct 26th 2007 7:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/Oct 26th 2007 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/Oct 26th 2007 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/23/samsung-blackjack2-gets-ready-to-launch-on-atandt/Since you work for at&t do you have any knowledge about the upgrade to WM6 for Blackjack v1 phones?
