1. The Q-Boat in The World Is Not Enough

Samsung SGH-i607 BlackJack Review

Just like T-Mobile’s Dash and Verizon’s Motorola Q, the BlackJack is a Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone slab sporting a 320 by 240 screen, a full keyboard and a 1.3-megapixel camera on the back. In many ways, it’s a cross between those two other phones. Like the Dash, it’s a quad-band world phone, it’s black, and it’s almost the exact same size. Like the Q, it uses a high-speed national cellular network rather than Wi-Fi, the keys are long slanted ovals, and it has a handy scroll wheel on the side as well as cursor keys for navigation. At 4.5 by 2.3 by .5 inches and weighing 3.5 ounces, it’s smaller and lighter than both the Dash and the Q.

Nokia 9300 Review

Nokia announced the Nokia 9500 Communicator back in February, it received generally positive reviews as being an impressive piece of kit. The 9500 was a little too much for many people. Both camera phones and wireless network are a distraction and security risk for many businesses, and not all individual users want them in any case. What these customers wanted was something without these features, and if it could be a bit lighter and a lot cheaper then that would be great too.
