BlackJack: New Colors for BlackJack 2, New Rumors about BlackJack 3

Samsung today released the popular BlackJack II WindowsMobile smartphone in two new colors - giving it the full on "Your a smart consumer phone, all WinMo AND fashiony!" treatment - while WMExperts dropped some details on the forthcoming Samsung i788, which apparently is going to be badged as the BlackJack III.

First off the official stuff from Sammy PR: "The Samsung BlackJack II is now available in two new colors, Romantic Pink and Ocean Blue. Both color options feature white keyboards and decorative designs on the back and is $99.99 with a two-year contract and after mail-in rebate."

And next the juicy bits from wmX's tipster:

"It should be dropping in October, the camera is superb, it's just a ?little thicker than the BJII,? and that little pointer device that replaces the standard d-pad ?works well but takes some getting used to.?

Anyhow, come October you'll be able to judge the Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, 320x320 Touchscreen, 528MHz processor, 3 megapixel camera, A-GPS, WiFi, and 3G goodness on AT&T for yourself."

There seems to be a bit of controversy surrounding the BlackJack III name, as this latest model deviates a bit from the first two's slim smartphone stylings.  But as WMExperts puts it, "With specs like that, AT&T can call it pretty much anything they want."
