			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, so here&#8217;s a brief summary of my experience with owning a Samsung Blackjack Windows Mobile Smartphone:</p>
<p>NEVER AGAIN.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what I was thinking the day I handed over my hard earned cash (well, signed a 24-month contract to slowly and painfully hand over my hard earned cash over 2 years) for a phone which was overpriced and very, very, very disappointing.</p>
<p>ActiveSync just didn&#8217;t work properly. The phone was slow. It recorded weird contacts. It has no functionality to MOVE contacts from SIM to phone or vice versa. It won&#8217;t sync with Apple&#8217;s iSync because apparently Windows Mobile is different to normal mobile devices. Sometimes it&#8217;d record a phonecall to an arbitrary 1300 number as a call to someone in my address book (even though the two numbers bore no further resemblance than a single digit). The microphone would randomly cut out but the problem has mysteriously disappeared.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, this device doesn&#8217;t even come close to justifying its massive price tag. I&#8217;m selling it and getting an iPhone. Yes, having an iPhone means I&#8217;m tethered to iTunes/iSync, but I&#8217;d rather that and be able to use it on ANY computer with iTunes than use a sub-standard piece of phone software that, quite frankly, gives me an ulcer just looking at it.</p>
