A tip for Samsung BlackJack owners
Hey guys,
If you read my blog in the past couple of weeks you know I’ve had problems finding a good new cell phone. I’m on Cingular service and have 6000 rollover minutes stored in my account so I want to stick with them. So I was limited by the phones available to Cingular.
I got the Cingular 3125 but it sucked. It dropped calls left and right and the user interface for the phone was clunky. I kept hitting the wrong buttons and stuff, so I sent it back. When I returned the old phone I had them send me a Samsung Blackjack.
Wow what an awesome phone. The Blackjack is still pretty small, it’s actually thinner than my buddie’s new BlackBerry. It is a little longer but that’s ok with me. I really like it. The thumbpads look like they wouldn’t work well, but they do. I think they borrowed a lot of ideas from previous phones and even the BlackBerry. So I really enjoy the interface and so far have had no dropped calls. I did have one call which was kinda crappy but I think it was a bad connection. We just hung up and called each other again and it was fine.
So two of my friend’s have also purchased Blackjack’s. We’ve been trying to find the best places to find accessories. I just found another blog that told me instead of buying your Blackjack accessories from Cingular, you should get them direct through Samsung’s web site. The quality of the accessories is still spot on, and you get a better price.
Alternatively you can buy Blackjack accessories on ebay. They come direct from Asia. I bought my original cell phone case there and it was only like $9.95 including the shipping. The quality isn’t the best, but the price is so much cheaper. Some guys suggest buying them on ebay because they go through a lot of accessories and want the cheaper cost…
So if you bought a Samsung BlackJack like me don’t go buy direct from Cingular! Buy from Samsung or Ebay.
