Hands-On: Samsung BlackJack II

Gizmodo was able to get their hands on Samsung's Blackjack II. Powered by Windows Mobile 6, the first impression turned out to be a good one, although the follow-up might have a little trouble distinguishing itself from its predecessor.

We liked the scroll wheel (think the original circular movable wheel of the original 1G iPod) that let us scroll around. It's not as convenient as having a touchscreen, but it's good enough. The screen, although 320x240 resolution, is still large enough at 2.4 inches to clearly display Barbara Walter's mug on the on-board Slingbox Mobile app. We couldn't test the GPS since the phone was bolted down, but Telenav was fantastic when we tested it with the AT&T Tilt earlier this month. So far the BlackJack II is a decent, if similar, follow-up to the original.
