Samsung Blackjack 2 SGH-617 Blue Cell Phone

Cons: Reception.

Summary: Best phone Ive ever owned. I didnt get good reception at my house with it, out in the country, but that is samsung phones in general, not just this phone. I have previously owned other samsung phones that gave me the same problem. I bought an antenna booster, which seems to have fixed the issue effortlessly. I would say that the battery life that most have complained about is not that bad. Then again, I NEVER go to sleep without plugging in my phone to the charger anyways, regardless of how much battery is left. I suppose if you were going to be in a dessert, or in the wilderness, without power or a car charging outlet for 3 weeks, you might not like how fast the battery dies. But in my case, Im always at work (where there is an outlet if needed), or in my car (where I have a car charger). Im glad I didnt decide against this phone due to people reviewing it as having a "horrible battery life". So far I havent been disappointed. It hasnt frozen on me, and its relatively easy to use. I think the people who havent been pleased are CEO's who have owned 2,000 dollar smartphones prior to this one or something, because honestly, I havent found a problem with any of its features, or battery life.

Cons: Camera stinks plus no flash

Summary: This is a great phone, very accessible. but like all phones, it has flaws. camera is okay but it makes me not even wanna use it. Great battery life. loud speakerphone which is very clear. ideal for textin. in fact I'm writing this review from the phone. Since I had this phone which is about 3-4 weeks, I haven't touch the computer. lol

Cons: Having problems with battery.

Summary: I have been reading that this Black Jack II has a longer battery life than the Black Jack. Well i have the II and have had it replaced twice because my battery lasts about 3 hours fully charged and it still doing the same thing... any suggestions????

Cons: Have to go through too many steps to turn on silent.

Summary: This has been a great phone. I have had it for about 6 months. I am a Realtor and this phone has everything I need to make my job a breeze! Not only can I store my daily calender, I can even pull up listings on the interent while I am with a client. Fantastic!

Cons: User guide. What user guide?
Try to download it on your computer when your sitting in a park or the backyard or a shopping centre. Print it out and waste a ream of A4 paper (not environmentally friendly). Try to get a user manual and be charged $15 AUD after paying $1000AUD for the phone. Useless without a user manual.

Summary: I've had my phone now for 6 months and still have not a clue how to use it. If I need to know something I want to reach for the User guide, not turn on the computer go to the internet or CD Rom scroll through 500 pages.
What a waste of time this phone is.
