We’ve just gotten confirmation that the new Samsung SGH-i617 BlackJack 2 (II) will be sporting an integrated GPS module. The SiRF III GPS receiver inside the Samsung BlackJack II is reportedly the real deal – not some cell-tower triangulation, faux-GPS.
AT&T’s BlackJack 2 promo website reveals that the handset will sport “integrated GPS,” indicating that the GPS feature in the BlackJack II is hardware based. However, it remains to be seen whether or not the GPS hardware will be limited to the TeleNav software or if it’ll be free to make use of any GPS software on the market. We’re hoping for an un-crippled GPS module.
As we all know, the Samsung i617 BlackJack II will be rocking a Windows Mobile 6.0 OS with a camera bumped-up to 2 megapixels. The quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM radio and US-friendly HSDPA (850/1900Mhz) should be pulling duty as the Samsung BlackJack’s successor come this Friday – that would be Black Friday, for the uninitiated.
Of course, we’re all still left wondering where the hell is the Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade for U.S. BlackJack users?
