The Samsung Blackjack 2 is my favorite right now. It's got good battery life and runs Windows Mobile, which I like for it's play-nice-with-Exchange qualities.
My CEO, who is a freakshow for homw much she uses her phone, seems pleased with her Palm Treo 750.
I, and a couple others here, use a Samsung Blackjack (original), and haven't had any problems. I've dropped it, and it's held up well. The battery life wasn't good enough for my 5 hours of talk a day boss, but it's fine for me.
The only smartphone I've had bad experiences with was the HTC 3125. It was the flip phone. I LOVED the flip phone design, but had to replace it twice on warranty, once for a problem with the microSD card disappearing and again when it just magically stopped doing anything. The third one's exterior LCD broke in my pocket, and then the power jack came out after about 6 months of daily plugging in. VERY disappointed in HTC and would be very wary of them.
I'm also on the market for a new phone and most likely a smartphone...
Actually, I'm very interested in the
Samsung BlackJack II as well. Glad to see a happy user here! In the orginal Samsung Jack, indeed a lot of people have complained about its short battery life. But I'm happy Samsung has addressed this issue in the Jack II.
My friend today suggested I also look at the
HTC S621 -- a device he's been quite happy with. I haven't gotten to checking that HTC yet, but to me that device isn't nearly as sexy as the Jack II. However, the S621 does have Wifi unlike the Jack II.
The
BlackBerry Pearl 8100 also interests me (no Wifi either). I'm still leaning towards the Samsung Jack 2 tho...
Anyone else using a Jack/Jack 2 or a relatively similar smartphone? Feel free to respond here, or you can contact me via email or private message to share your experience.
Thanks!
