Cingular announced the availability of the Samsung SGH-i607 aka Blackjack. This Windows Mobile 5.0 based, HSDPA compatible device is Cingular’s answer to the Motorola Q and the T-Mobile Dash. The quad-band phone sports the usual 1.3MP camera and bluetooth (with A2DP support, I might add) and a microSD expansion slot. With dimensions of 113mm x 59mm x 12mm, the device is quite thin (2mm thinner than the Nokia E61). It does not possess wi-fi functionality, which is a big minus in my opinion, since I use wi-fi a lot.

The phone will be Cingular exclusive, and is expected to launch in mid-November for $199 with a 2yr contract and unlimited data plan.
