The SiRF III GPS receiver inside the Samsung BlackJack II is reportedly the real deal - not some cell-tower triangulation, faux-GPS. AT&amp;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 ?

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.
