It’s predecessor, the Samsung Black Jack was faced with a lot of issues foremost of which was the battery drain issue. However, this (and more) has been settled with the Samsung i617 BlackJack II which is a little thicker than the original to allow for mroe battery space. The upgraded version is a sleek phone and those who have purchase the original Samsung Black Jack can benefit by switching to the latest model since its price ($149.99 after rebates) and with a two-year service contract, is really affordable.
If you’re the formal, office-type guy then choose the Black version but accept the fact it is easily prone to smudges. However, if you are fun-loving and wants a not too-geeky smartphone, then the Burgundy model is the best choice not only because of the color but because of the textured back which make sit easier to grip and less smudge-prone.
This smartphone is not your slim-type phone since at 4 ounces, it has a measurement of 4.4 inches in height, 2.3 inches in width and 0.5 inches in depth. Don’t worry though because it can still fit inside the pockets of your pants.
You may find it interesting to note that this smartphone offers convenient call functions as well as text messaging functions thanks to the QWERTY keypad.

However, the LG Voyager runs a a 3G data network that is a lot faster thanks to Verizon (but it lacks the ability to make use of hotspot connections), it has a V Cast Mobile TV Bluetooth, an Integrated GPS application, plus EV-DO support.

This phone is reasonably priced too with a 2-year service contract at $299 (that’s less the rebate) compared to the iPhone’s $399. The keyboard is also another come-on as it allows you to enter text and use it much like a laptop.
With 240 hours of talk time plus, browsign capability and easy text messaging features, the LG Voyager is indeed a phone to watch out for.

The AT&T Tilt, when tilted to reveal the QWERTY keyboard, looks like a miniature laptop. It comes with an operating system and is bundled with a Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional, QUALCOMM processor with 400 MHzMSM7200 plus a 128 MB RAM.
The screen’s tilting capability might as well be this cell phone’s best feature as it makes typing and sending emails fairly easy. With 3G and GPS features, you can have your own mobile office right in the palm of your hand. Plus, you can satiate your passion for taking pictures with the phone’s 3 megapixel camera.
However, the phone has a short talk-time battery life and this can be pretty annoying for those who use their cellphone more for calling and receiving calls than for SMS messaging. Don’t plan on talking with your clients on speakerphone since it is not of the best quality.
Despite its inadequacies, this cell phone is highly recommened for business users who are in search for a full range of wireless options.

While it does not boast of power features that other smartphones boast of, it however has a GPS navigation feature, Spritn TV, EV-DO connectivity and it is compatible with the Sprint Music Store. However, the music feature would be better enjoyed if you have a headphone jack.

The new Samsung U550 clamshell cellphone may have attractive features for an entry level phone but the manufacturers could have improved a bit on its looks. From the way the promotion photos of this new cell phone looks, no one would dare take a second look unless you already know its features.
The fist thing that will catch your attention (aside of course from the ugly phone design) when you see the specs of the Samsung U550 is the 3G feature. This feature is avant garde for an entry level phone priced at $70 plus a two-year lock-in contract. Need I say that the 3G feature allows you access to Vcast streaming video?
Its clamshell pet name may have been given due to its flip design but that’s about the closest you can get to figuring out why it was given such a name. The 1.3 megapixel camera is not something to boast about but it has a speila nightshot mode which you can use to improve photos taken during night time or when it’s dark. But don’t bet too much on this feature as this is also offered by lots of quality digital cameras but they turned out frustrating as you can’t get a decent nightshot using this feature.
At least, it has a Bluetooth feature which allow hands free calls so make the best of that feature if you buy this phone because that’s the best feature it has aside from the 3G connectivity.
