Samsung SGH-i600 Review

Ming Han has written an excellent review at his site Ming Han's site.

The Blackjack is another addition to the Samsung Ultra series of razor thin phones. This concept of razor thin phones was originally pionereed by Motorola Razr V3, but Samsung took it a step further. The Blackjack is known as the Ultra Messaging, so obviously this phone is targetted for heavy push email and SMS users.

Pros:
- QWERTY Keyboard
- It's so slim, at 11.8mm, it's half the thickness of the Nokia N95
- It's so light, at about 105gm...It’s 50gm lighter than my old Mini
- Screen is absolutely gorgeous...
- Thumbwheel
- 3.5G
- WiFi
- RM1799 with free 1GB MicroSD card

Cons:
- Lack of native Office documents viewer
- No pre-installed Pocket MSN
- No GPS...or you can pay RM1500 more for GPS + Graphics Processor in the form of Nokia N95

In a nutshell:
Seriously I think the only rival for the Blackjack is that computer called Nokia N95, but then they are in a totally different price range, which makes the Blackjack the best in its class (Smartphone, Blackberry, Nokia E61)!

i'd love to see this unit with WiFi... the 'Blackjack' marketed by Cingular in the US does not have it. Seems as if it was originally slated to have it... but NO. ALso, the phone is slow... really slow, and so many apps just don't work!
