new phone guideWhat could be a more fitting day than Black Friday to launch a mobile phone named as BlackJack II from AT&T? Perhaps the Halloween but it may be inappropriate since this new Samsung smartphone is filled with exciting features.

Samsung claims the new BlackJack II is a triple threat since it is easier to use, smarter, and sleeker than its first version. Powered by Windows Mobile 6, it is now effortless to connect with your email, calendar, and to-do list. Scrolling is also a lot easier with its stylish front jog wheel.

The large 2.4″ 65K TFT display screen makes reading and viewing photos very enjoyable. Although it is not as powerful as the FlipShot, a 2.0 megapixel camera will suffice to capture decent photos.

International roaming is never a problem with BlackJack II for it is a Tri-band HSDPA/quad-band EDGE world phone. In simple terms, you can work virtually anywhere at 3G speed.

BlackJack II goes with $150 price tag and with two-year contract. Color, is of course, black but it will be also be available on red version starting December 12, 2007.
