Samsung Jack on the Right Track

The Samsung Jack (see CNET Review or official Samsung page) is the latest incarnation of the blackjack Mobile Phone. (You may have seen the commercials featuring Ozzy Osborne.) It’s being billed as a “personal assistant” for busy people on the go. (And who isn’t in today’s day and age?)

There’s a lot of hype surrounding this phone, but there are also quite a few good reviews out there. Samsung has been doing Mobile Phones for a while and they know what they’re doing. And it shows in the Samsung Jack – a somewhat enhanced BlackJack (remember that Mobile Phone?)

Samsung Jack Quick Stats:

• Dimensions: 4.4” x 2.4” x 0.5”
• Weight: 3.6 ounces
• Operating System: Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard
• Screen: 2.4″ 65K Color TFT LCD with 320 x 240 Pixel resolution

• Internal Memory: 256MB RAM/256MB ROM

With a lot of great features, it’s easy to see why a lot of people are falling in love with this Mobile Phone. It’s quite attractive as well, which doesn’t hurt. When you add to those the reasonable price (with or without a contract), things really begin to add up.

On the negative side (There are no PERFECT Mobile Phones), the fact that this uses proprietary jacks (ie no USB) is ironic but not in a cute way. It’s more frustrating than anything else. Still, all other things considered, this is a great little phone that will help keep you organized and communicating on the go.
