Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / May 2007Samsung Blackjack?
Do you reckon that this phone would work here on Telstra's NextG network? http://www.cingular.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?q_list=true&q_pho neName=Samsung+BlackJack&q_sku=sku840008 > Do you reckon that this phone would work here on Telstra's NextG > network? > > http://www.cingular.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?q_list=true&q_pho neName=Samsung+BlackJack&q_sku=sku840008 It is already being sold here.. however it's let down by the lousy camera and poor battery life..

Who is selling it, and does it work on NextG? As for cameras and batteries, tell me something new. I've yet to see any current moble phone that has fancy color screens etc. having any sort of decent battery life, nor have I seen anything decent, camera-wise. > James said.... > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Who is selling it, and does it work on NextG?

Just found it. It wasn't listed when I posted the question the other day. Telstra sells it for $999 outright or on a plan starting at $60. Decided to see what people overseas might pay for it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/wireless/bundle-list/002-1257191-3052817?ASIN=B000KJS8CI The phone retails for around $500USD or around $608 AUD. A big difference between Telstra's pricing and Cingular's for example. The plan associated with this phone seems to be more attractive than the comparable ones with Telstra. For starters the per minute charge is less than half of what I'm paying now. A few on Ebay are going for under $600 at the moment. Thing is, the unit doesn't appear to have a touch screen. It'd be a handy feature if it did have one. >nor have I seen anything decent, camera-wise. K800i isn't too shabby IMHO http://www.flickr.com/cameras/sonyericsson/k800i/ ...though battery life sucks hard when it roams between 3G and 2.5G services.

Its not designed to be a camera phone, you dick. Dont you understand segmented marketing? >> Its not designed to be a camera phone, you dick.

Its PRIMARY function is not a camera phone > Its PRIMARY function is not a camera phone So the camera is so nasty as to be useless, why have it?

And it doesn't take notes with a single button push, either.
