Pros: Everything is great.

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????

Great

Experience: 6 Months
Pros: Smart key pad. Even though the key pad is small, the phone programs the letter buttons that sit next to the numbers to display the number if you hit it while dialing in the call screen. Camera and video is amazing.

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!

Madness

Overall Rating:
3 out of 5
By: Lisa Mayer on Thursday, November 29, 2007
From: Brisbane, Queensland (Australia)
Experience: 6 Months
Pros: Just like every other phone I used. Thank god, because there is no user guide to find out how to use the extras

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.

From: NILES, MI (United States)
Experience: 1 Months
Pros: Just about everything

Cons: Can't seem to find the tone alert to remind me that I have a voicemail or a call.

Summary: All I can say is that it is very sexy and serious looking at the same time. Very nice to hold up to your ear for a long time. Very bad manual though...call quality is excellent!

Im loving it...

Experience: 2 Months
Summary: I have had the blackjack for a couple of months and love it. Im still trying to figure out several of the options and the user guide is no help. The screens are very user friendly.
Once you start service on this phone, everything else, and I mean everything else cost extra. I just wish I could load music from my computer.

BlackJack!!

Overall Rating:
3.8 out of 5
By: Stewart Underwood on Wednesday, November 29, 2006
From: St Louis, MO (United States)
Experience: 3 Days
Pros: The phone starts off with a great bright big screen that makes using the features amazing. For the first time for me I can be looking at the web, stop and make a phone call and then go back to where I was. What a concept! 3G speed is awesome as are all of the extras like XM Radio.

Cons: Going to have to travel with a charger everywhere because the battery life is terrible.

Summary: I am extremely impressed with the phone and what it can do. I am also impressed with the improvements that Cingular has made to their network, making all of the fun features work at decent speeds. A better battery and this phone would have been an A+ for me.
