Cingular, Samsung and Microsoft have launched a new smartphone that leverages the latest functionality in Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system and takes advantage of consumer demand for the ultra slim form factor. Called “BlackJack,” this is Samsung’s first full-keyboard phone in its ultra slim product line — its answer to Verizon’s increasingly popular Motorola Q phone. For Cingular, the product introduction represents the first time the company has offered Windows Mobile on this particular phone design, IDC analyst Ryan Reith told TechNewsWorld.
