Samsung SGH-i617 is the BlackJack 2
Will the real BlackJack 2 please stand up? It looks like the Samsung SGH-i617 that recently passed FCC inspection is the real BlackJack 2. The form-factor is almost identical to the previous BlackJack, and even the model names make sense (the previous BlackJack was the Samsung i607). We know that the Samsung i617 BlackJack II…

Samsung SGH-i617 approved by the FCC; Is this BlackJack 2?
We’ve just spotted Samsung SGH-i617 passing the FCC hurdle. And while we don’t have much information about this device, everything points to the BlackJack successor.

kajeet adds Samsung m300; Tweens love it?
The pay-as-you-go kids-focused mobile operator, kayeet, added Samsung m300 to its offering. Apparently, Samsung’s low-end clamshell is perfect for kids, and I guess their limited budgets. Retailing at $79.99, the m300 packs all “the premium features kids want” including a camera, internal and external screen, Bluetooth connectivity, and integrated speakerphone. Naturally, kajeet will also bundle…
