Samsung Jack: The Good and the Bad

Posted: 01 Jun 2009 05:28 AM PDT

Just how good or bad is the Samsung Jack? Well that's the question asked by itvoir, who have looked at the Samsung Jack and come up with these answers.

The good side of the Samsung Jack is it includes a faster processor and a better camera, the call quality if also excellent, and the Samsung Jack features Bluetooth, GSP, 3G and WiFi.

On the down side, the Samsung Jack uses Sammy's propriety ports and thus the user can't simply use a standard USB headset or cable, and the Jack also has a slippery feel to it.

Basically the Samsung Jack delivers a fresh and solid upgrade to AT&T's affordable messaging smartphone portfolio
