Samsung Blackjack was released more than a year ago and since then, it became a successful smartphone in the US and around the world. And it is no wonder, as it's a very nice mobile phone that packs evolved technology in a small-sized device. Still, some Samsung Blackjack i607 owners discovered that their handset is faulty. Don't worry, if you own a Blackjack, its battery won't explode,
as in the case of
some Nokia phones, and you won't discover that the device is completely unusable, as
some iPhones (very few, that's true) were reported to be.
Blackjack's problems are not that big, but some of the i607 models manufactured between November 2006 and February 2007 can have poor signal reception or experience unexpected dropped calls (which can be really frustrating if it happens several times). The problems seem to have something to do with the phone's antenna. Different users reported the above mentioned issues and some official notes from Samsung appeared recently on the Internet to clear out the problem. Only a few devices are indeed faulty, and the South Korean manufacturer made various design changes, fixing the issue, hence all the Blackjacks manufactured from March 2007 are guaranteed to function properly.
For those unlucky users that have problems with their Blackjack manufactured between November 2006 and February 2007, AT&T provides assistance and can offer a new phone if indeed the old one is faulty. Rumors say that it might not be a brand new phone, but a refurbished one, so if you indeed have poor signal or experience drop calls try to make sure you get a new device. And, of course, back-up all your content before changing it.
Hopefully, the new
Blackjack II running on Windows Mobile 6 will not have these problems, or any other kind of problems.
