It might be a good phone and all but get over it! So what you can get youtube and all that other junk, but if you have a computer you can do it just as fast with better sound, color, and speed. If you take that away your left with just a phone with a touch screen, no video capturing, ugly phone. 1st of all, why is everything compared to the stupid Iphone.

Don't get me wrong, there are still some things that could be made better, but overall it's a good buy, especialy if a mobile email solution is calling your name. I've got sample pictures and videos from the phone here for anyone who is curious: http://www.4tay.com/blogs/Adam_Parker/Samsung_Blackjack_2_-_Review/1/1/688/ The phone has been great, the improvements over the BJ1 are impressive.

I had a Blackjack and currently have an iPhone. It's apples/oranges. The Blackjack was far more effective for business purposes. The iPhone, while nifty in many ways, falls short. And as beautiful as the iPhone is, it is a bit of a pain to have to use so many finger strokes for actions, which on other devices, take only one. I have no doubt that the iPhone will continue to evolve and become more spectacular. But little things like the today screen and ability to see emails, calendar, etc. on a single screen, is actually very useful. And I actually prefer a tactile keyboard to a touch, no matter what anyone says. I couldn’t agree more (and by that I mean with TH). I had a Blackjack and currently have an iPhone.

I'll be the first to admit that the iPhone is one heck of a device, but not everything should be compared to it. The BlackJack II included. They don't have the same form factor, operating system or features. You don't see auto reviewers comparing sedans to heavy duty trucks do you? Cellphones are similar. Different types stand alone in their own categories and a Windows Mobile smartphone isn't in the same category as a multimedia phone. --Travis Hudson, MWW Group on behalf of Samsung I’m with Damien on this.
