Samsung - Blackjack II Cell Phone Review

Bought the Samsung BlackJack II to replace a dead Motorola flip style phone.  I chose the BlackJack II because it was a 'smart phone.'  I have been very pleased with its performance to date.  The phone works flawlessly and I have taken advantage of the MP3, e-mail and web browsing capabilities of this phone.

I would recommend a protective cover for this phone to avoid scratches and to help damped any falls.  Without a protective cover, my phone would most likely have been unusable after the first few months.  I am not a person that has to have the current hot cellular phone out there.  I plan to keep this phone as long as it keeps working.

The only two negative points that I can find are the slow internet and the battery life.  Even on a 3G network the internet is about equal to a 56K modem.  I don't use the internet on my phone very often so that is not a big concern for me.  Also, the battery lasts less than a day.  I unplug the phone at about 7am and by 10pm the battery is pretty much dead.  I have bought aftermarket batteries with the same problem.  Do not get this phone if you can't charge it everyday.  I would recommend a car charger also to extend the battery life during the day.
