No, it’s not the BlackJack II – that would be the Samsung SGH-i617. This here piece of kit is the Samsung SGH-i780 GPS and WiFi-equipped Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional smartphone.

The Samsung i780 launched yesterday in London and hasn’t looked back since. With HSDPA (3.6Mbps), WiFi b/g, and A-GPS, the Samsung i780 is sure to keep you connected and informed anywhere you go (as long as there’s at least a GSM network handy). It’s slim, black, and has a full QWERTY keyboard to supplement its 2.55-inch touchscreen. Just how slim? How’s 13.3mm?

It’s just too bad that this impressive WinMo6 smartphone is a tri-band (900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM jobby, otherwise we’d be all over this thing like white on rice. Pricing and availability haven’t yet been announced, but we’re expecting more details by year’s end.
