This has long been something that owners of the BlackJack II have complained about. The scroll wheel is a pretty good idea, but it takes too much to make it go around. One full rotation is required to move the highlighted item by 1 step. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done with the [...]
Playing Around with the Samsung i620 Slider Smartphone
The first thing you will notice when you pick up the Samsung i620 is just how small it is and how well it fits in your hands. Samsung is really on to something with this ultra small sliding form factor. It’s the right size for any pocket or purse, and it’s a lot of fun [...]
Easily Manage Multiple Network Data Settings on Windows Mobile
One of the great appeals of a GSM device is the ability to swap SIM cards and as a result, networks. As an example, I have a Samsung BlackJack II from AT&T running on Fido’s network. When I travel to the US, I just pull out my Fido SIM and put in my AT&T SIM [...]

Hacking the Quick Launch App on Samsung BlackJack II
In my previous post about the quick launch application on the BlackJack II, I talked about some keys being locked to pre-loaded applications. It would be nice if I could remove the AT&T Mall shortcut as I’ll never be using that. Same goes for the Media Net shortcut. It’s not that those aren’t valuable services, [...]
Quick Launch your Favorite Apps on the BlackJack II
The original BlackJack from Samsung sported a really cool quick launch application that was launched when you did a press and hold on the scroll wheel. The list of applications was fully customizable and you could scroll through the list rather easily. Overall it was a great application that I used daily. Enter the BlackJack [...]
Roaming Data Only Matters with Email?
Windows Mobile 6 introduced this concept of data roaming when it comes to email. Basically it warns you that you are about to send/receive email and since you are roaming, it may cost you more for that data.
