johnkara's Full Review: Samsung BlackJack Smartphone
This is not a bad phone, its simply the WORST phone I have ever had the displeasure of owing.
Its so bad I took my carpenter's hammer to it after I drove over it with my car, just to make doubly sure I totally killed the farker! I've replaced this piece of crap with a real phone, the Nokia N95.
The number of times I missed phone calls on the blackjack because I could not hear the phone ring, even when it was in my breast pocket I can't recall. You can not adjust the ring tone! Why not for heavens sake? Its the most frustrating phone on the market. And the number of times it would automatically dial a number when it was accidently bumped(such asbeing in my pocket), I have lost count!! And when in locked mode and it rang, the number of times I accidently disconnected the caller because I pressed the answer key, I have lost count. And then you want to unlock it, well the process is so stupid and convoluted its a pain in the backside. The software needs a complete rewrite - the navigation system it employs is not intuitive; simply put it sucks! Its far from being easy to follow. Take a look at the number of used blackjacks being sold on ebay and you have your answer about its quality!
I have spoken to several other disgruntled owners and they have made the same decision as me - kill the blackjack and buy a Nokia N95.
I just dont dislike this phone but in fact, I HATE THIS PHONE.I will post on youtube the video of me destroying this rotten, terrible, expensive and useless excuse for a phone.
SAMSUNG should be ashamed of itself for not thoroughly testing this piece of crap before putting it on the market. I will never buy another SAMSUNG phone and am feeling hesitant of buying a SAMSUNG refridgerator or televisions!!
My score out of ten:.... hmmm...errr... let me think...but not too long .... ZERO, ZERO.
Its the type of phone you fear the most especially when you have bought it on a phone plan ... you fear buying a lemon which is so inferior that you want to destroy it.
Please note that package only includes the device and necessary accessories. SIM card not included. In order to access the phones functions, it is nec...More at Overstock.com
