First up, the Samsung ZX30 and LG CU400 make appearances, both presumably destined to bring yet more clamshell love to the HSDPA game, and it'll be interesting to see how the ZX30 slots in against its SYNC stablemate. Also showing up to the party is the CU500v -- a phone we know nothing about -- but we're guessing it represents some sort of incremental upgrade to the CU500 (video calling, perhaps?). Next up, the SGH-i607 seems to have been officially christened the "Blackjack" for Cingular's release of the slim, 3G, QWERTY smartphone."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Kris-Nov2006-CingularRebateBlackJack.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Looks like QWERTY Smartphones cannot have gibberish numbers and letters in their model names. :D They must have hip names like the Q or the Dash, and now Cingular is following the trend by launching the Samsung <a href="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12490">SGH-i607</a> as the Samsung Blackjack. The launch date is not known at this time. We do know that the Samsung Blackjack is quad-band GSM and dual-band UMTS/HSDPA QWERTY Smartphone. Are you looking forward to a Christmas with this Smartphone?

Isn't the Samsung Blackjack a PocketPC Phone and not a Smartphone?

Nevermind. I read one report that the phone included Word and Excel. Other reports I just read don't state that those apps are included.

Cingy really needs this device. As a matter of fact, with the 8525 and the i607, they're getting some of the hottest phones around. I love my Dash with the wifi and battery life but these are two really hot devices that will do well.

The Treo 750 is on the list also. I'm leaning more towards that one. It's Windows Mobile isn't it?

I'm really happy with my i320. If this device has a better battery then I'll be all over it!

I'm not quite sure about the looks of this phone. Like the Dash, it probably looks much better in person. Who has actually seen this phone and what do you think? This phone is out of the question for me since I have Tmo and this one uses 3G and not wifi. The Dash was my only real choice but I have to admit I really like it.
