Wow, this phone is really packed with features. It seems very user friendly, as well. I take a ton of pics of my little one too

I am a bit confused on what I am telling you how to. Am I telling you how you have captured my attention? You have captured my attention with the bluetooth and the full keyboard. We have att and recently got the magnets, I am a bit disappoints with the bluetooth capability on it. I would love to have the jack. This would be awesome since I also take tons of pictures with my phone and as of right now I have no way to get them off my phone.

I love the instant access buttons on the keyboard!

You have captured my interest because I need a newer model with the QWERTY keyboard (I text more than I talk). Thanks!
Amy B. says:
October 7, 2009 at 9:14 pm
I love the buttons on it..I like that it has a direct one push button for GPS and Email. I love everything about this phone. Thanks for the chance.
Betty says:
October 7, 2009 at 9:17 pm
I would love a Samsung Jack to stay in touch with kids and friends using all the new capabilities. I hate to be left behind when others are talking about new ways to communicate, organize, surprise, save time. Sign me up!!!
Sara L. says:
October 7, 2009 at 9:25 pm
I’m lovin’ that it has XM Radio…I could take it on my evening jog!
A. Cisco says:
October 7, 2009 at 9:46 pm
I do not have a cellphone, which is such a big hassle in more ways than one. It really becomes a problem because, my husband works 200 miles away through the week can never get a hold of me. He has driven all the way home before, because he was worried that I wasn’t answering the phone. This Samsung Jack would keep my family calm,cool and connected because he wouldn’t have to worry, he could get a hold of me at anytime.
Plus all the nice features would keep me very occupied and not bored out of my mind!
Peench says:
October 7, 2009 at 9:56 pm
I love the fact that the phone’s name is Jack… like the robot on Gears of War.
Kim says:
October 7, 2009 at 10:13 pm
I like the video share capabilities! Cool phone!
Marcee says:
October 7, 2009 at 10:19 pm
I just love it period. I have a flip phone that has no other features except dialing numbers!
Mana says:
October 7, 2009 at 10:31 pm
I’m liking the instant access buttons too!
Sean Peecher says:
October 7, 2009 at 11:19 pm
I like it’s flashy look and camera capabilities you mentioned.
Rebecca says:
October 7, 2009 at 11:35 pm
I would use the Samsung Jack in many ways. My husband and I commute half an hour in different directions so it would allow me to call or text him easily. My daughter goes to school by our home, a half hour from my work. She is always needing something because of all of her activities, gymnastics, volley ball, basketball, girl scouts, and all of her friends and their activities. My son also has his share things going on, boy scouts, bike clinic and all of his friends and their activities. We are constantly try to figure out new addresses. Sometimes we need email to check the address before we google it. GPS to guide us to where we need to go. Basically, we would be using it constantly to keep our family on time and in contact with each other.

StacyG says:
October 8, 2009 at 5:24 am
I would love to win this phone. The radio would be awesome. I love my iPod but would really like to hear live radio more often.
Pat Franco says:
October 8, 2009 at 6:39 am
The radio portion is a great feature in addtion to all the others
Emily says:
October 8, 2009 at 6:45 am
I love the Xpress Mail feature so I can check all of my email accounts while on the road and not in front of my computer – which happens a lot!
Diane says:
October 8, 2009 at 6:57 am
Loooks like something I could easily use to stay in touch with my growing family
Chondra says:
October 8, 2009 at 7:09 am
Just loving that “direct-access buttons” to email,& GPS & phone! I am a very busy MOM of two – one in middle school & one in elementary that are on opposite sides of town! So you know I don’t have alot of time – these features are great time savers! I also love the quality of Samsung phones – this is a nice alternative to the Blackberry
Joshua Soper says:
October 8, 2009 at 7:12 am
I am the most unorganized person. This would be awesome.
Shawna O'Reilly says:
October 8, 2009 at 7:44 am
The Samsung Jack looks awesome! I don’t yet have a smartphone, but am hoping to upgrade. I think many features of the Jack would help the fam stay calm, cool and connected, specifically the video share the bluetooth file capabilities!
jill watkins says:
October 8, 2009 at 8:02 am
I love that it has tons of things- But Xm radio is one of the best!
Mary Thompson says:
October 8, 2009 at 8:08 am
My family are busy people so to keep cool, calm and connected I would take a picture or video of something funny and special per day and share to it to keep everyone connected.
Anna Young says:
October 8, 2009 at 8:12 am
I love how everything is right there on the front of the phone rather then trying to navigate within the phone
Andrew Scharff says:
October 8, 2009 at 8:15 am
I LOVE that it has XM Radio, perfect for when I am on the move.
Barb says:
October 8, 2009 at 8:17 am
Seems much nicer then the phone I currently own. I have 5 kids and 2 in college, and good phone is must needed to keep in touch with them all.
shannon flora says:
October 8, 2009 at 8:28 am

nice clear screen
shinny surface
good keyboard
internet and email direct access button
photo is clear

We are so far behind when it comes to technology. I am so jealous of my friends who can do everything on their phones. What I really want is to be able to keep track of appointments and all that is going on in my family’s lives while away fromt he computer!

Simply put, Samsung has been my favorite cellphone company ever. They are user friendly, the quality is awesome and the features they pack on their products are mind blowing. It would be great to try this new Samsung Jack!!!
Chris Champion says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:20 am
You’ve captured my interest with all the photo/video features! I have a three year-old and am still taking pics and videos at an alarming rate too!

I would love to give that phone a try. Looks like a lot of great features.
Rick Zaborowski says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:21 am
Wow – great phone. Would use the messaging to keep in touch with the wife, calendaring to keep track of activities – football practice, cheerleading competitions, scouts, etc. and the GPS to kep from getting lost driving everyone around. Life would be sweet.
Ruben Garcia says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:21 am
Interesting. Windows Mobile making a come back possibly?
Angel H. says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:22 am
It captured ny interest because of its size, keyboard, shiny interface, and most of smart phone features in general!
To sum it up all in one word…AWESOME!
Tracy H says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:24 am
This phone would be great for my son! It has everything a 17 year old wants, and yet it has everything he needs too.. Alot of features are one touch, and not hunting in the phone for everything, which is a definite plus. He’ll be graduating soon and this would be a great way to stay connected while away in college and/or the service (He’s hoping marines)! Loving the video feature too..what else could a mom want! heh
Ray Acevedo says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:24 am
Would like to get a new phone to replace my Trio. Looking at the Iphone but if this device works better and price is right its a winner for me
It would make working much easier and faster than my outdated Trio.
Nick Kleeman says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:24 am
This phone is awesome, I love Samsung use to be the only phone i had until my blackjack 2 broke and i had to replace it with a cheap phone. I have always loved to take pictures and having a great camera makes that nice. The radio would be nice so i wouldn’t have to get a new iPod just to have radio the antenna in my car doesn’t pick up anything. I would love to get something with a QWERTY because i love to text and use internet stuff like Facebook and Myspace. Plus it would be nice to use it to keep track or homework and due dates, plus i live in the sticks so the GPS would come in very handy.
Thanks!
James Harrison says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:25 am
This phone looks awesome. I just might give up my iPhone
for it
Joe says:

Jon Bunner says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:26 am
I currently have an iPhone but HATE the keyboard for texting. I have a Sirius / XM account and this would be WONDERFUL beyond words!!!
Alex Dixon says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:26 am
I love the number of features the Jack has, and the user interface is freakin’ cool as beans!@$
Ben says:

Justin Domina says:

Chris says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:33 am
I currently have a trusty Treo 750 that has served me well for the past 2 years. With all my friends now having iPhones, and Blackjacks, and Epix and have become the target of most technology jokes. I would love to have a Jack and be able to video share with my kids in school, use the GPS to stop getting lost when traveling, and better manage by e-mail.
James F Bagnell Jr says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:33 am
Slim and sexxy and loaded with everything I want. The question should be “How not!!” Samsung shows the others “don’t know jack about jack”!
Prae says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:34 am
Hopefully the interface is better than (or as good as) the crackberry…
J. Fitz says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:35 am
Hook me up!
Lisa michels says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:36 am
I would love this phone. I would use it to keep track of my homework from Washington state university Go Cougs!!!!
Crystal says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:36 am
I am a HUGE HUGE fan on Samsung Products. I had the BlackJack 1 & 2 until the the buttons fell off. This phone looks amazing and I would love to get rid of my iCrapper and use this instead
Michael Moore says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:37 am
Fancy! I could use something with this kind of flexibility and mobility
Peter says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:37 am
I’m pretty intrigued by this because it looks like it would be just about perfect for my wife to use. It can do a lot of the newer things, has a built-in GPS (always a plus) and can easily hook up to a PC so we can sync all of her entries. Her current phone doesn’t really have those features. The biggest thing that interests me is the GPS – that would be perfect for her.
Steven Di Vita says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:37 am
Looks very nice.

Kristofor Anderson says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:40 am
Little skeptical about if anyone will actually win.. of course people are going to be writing all these comments that are amazing about the phone and hyping it up.. i want to know if someone actually wins..
D.J. Quinter says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:40 am
Had many Samsung phones over the years… left the Samsung family for the Iphone 3G and to be honest… I would love to go back.

This is so cool!
Mike Broderick says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:52 am
I love the QWERTY keyboard. With 4 boys on my cell plan, that makes it much easier to text them. Plus it has to be great using the Internet and typing URLs and enter text on Search Engines.
Roger Powell says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:58 am
Cool Phone looks like this might have to be my new phone
Lisa says:
October 8, 2009 at 11:59 am

Noel Dahlem says:
October 8, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Cory – the phone looks great! What attracts my interest the most hmmmm . . . ALL of it. Especially love the blue tooth tranfer as well as the video share. My father who lives VERY far away would LOVE to be able to see video of his grand daughter! Oh and don’t forget the great AT&T network, I live outside of Houston and we used to have Sprint, couldn’t use the phone close to our home at all. Now that we have AT&T its a go! And would be even better with the Samsung Jack!
Thanks for the video!
Melissa English says:
October 8, 2009 at 12:04 pm
I would absolutely love the new Samsung Jack. I have an old cell phone and I mean old. It recently dropped when shopping with the kids. I am so needing a new phone. I am old school so I only have had a couple phones. I would love to get a hipper phone and have all the awesome benefits of it. I love the idea of the one push button for GPS and Emails. I need a tech makeover and having a new Samsung Jack would be so AWESOME and I am so grateful for an opportunity to recieve one. Thanks so much!
Nicole Cunningham says:

Looks kind of like a blackberry, but I’m sure it’s better!
Tracie says:
October 8, 2009 at 12:14 pm
The camera caught my attention. The camera on my current phone is less than desirable.
Liviu says:
October 8, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Ok, here is the post. Just hope the phone will measure up to a crackberry
Bill Frater says:
October 8, 2009 at 12:25 pm
This looks like a really great phone… my daughter needs a new texting phone and I don’t want to pay for an iPhone…
Howard Kemble says:
October 8, 2009 at 12:27 pm
If I win this phone I would give it to my daughter because my granddaughter just started daycare and she worries about her all day and the dumb phone she has now can not receive the email and pics that the day care sends to the moms everyday so the Samsung Jack would go along way to keeping her calm cool and connected. Thanks
Tim McCurdy says:
October 8, 2009 at 12:28 pm
The Bluetooth downloading of photos is a great idea for vacations and even business. That’s gotta be less complicated to do. My wife wants to take more pictures but has to wait for me to get home to download them into our computer and organize them. With this phone she would be abel to download them herself more time for fun and more time for pictures
Great looking keyboard She wants to text also so this phone has all we are looking for!
Don Ortega says:
October 8, 2009 at 12:30 pm
The radio is a big plus. There are times when you want to hear music you don’t already have! What up AT&T!
Jay says:
October 8, 2009 at 12:31 pm
awesome..I want one…
Chris Cigainero says:
October 8, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Congrats on the new born! The Samsung Jack will take wonderful pictures on your baby, and you can share the pics with Friends via email, bluetooth, or on your blog. The Jack is stylish and packed with features, and the Jack has one awesome name.
Talk L8r have fun with newborn

I want it so I can get rid of my iPhone. I miss tactile keys and easy access. I’d use it to stay connected to the world around me no matter where I am.
Karen says:
October 8, 2009 at 1:06 pm
You tell me how you are going to talk me out of my iphone for this phone.
cory says:
October 8, 2009 at 1:08 pm
we just had a baby a two years ago. the samsung jack would help to keep me in touch with the wife and little one while i am on the road for work. jam packed with features.
Emily Odgers says:
October 8, 2009 at 1:09 pm
You have totally caught my attention with this phone! This phone looks awesome! Right now I just have a run-of-the-mill cell phone, but keep promising myself that one of these days I will splurge and upgrade to a phone exactly like the Samsung Jack cell phone! Now would be a perfect time!
leslie grant says:
October 8, 2009 at 1:11 pm

Can it beat out the iPhone?
Peter says:
October 8, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I can’t wait for this phone I have the first Blackjack as my first smart phone and it was great. I also bought the 2nd one which was even better so I can’t wait for this one.
Lillian Postma says:
October 8, 2009 at 1:38 pm
i would like this phone because i have a old phone handed down from one of my friends and it hardly has battery life. i have never had good luck with an at&t phone and my parents dont have much money we might actually be losing our house. we are eligible for upgrades but my dad doesnt have enough money or time to renew our contract with at&t because hes working hard to keep our house and is retired. this phone would be greatly appreciated since i have never had a good phone and cannot afford one ]: thank you .
Yitzchok Brown says:
October 8, 2009 at 1:51 pm
This phone is AWESOME! It has everything I need. The keyboard is perfect for the amount of texting I do and the web browser looks great! I’m a HUGE fan of Samsung products, as almost all my stuff is made by them! Go Samsung! Looking forward to seeing what else this so far AWESOME phone does!
Karen Medlin says:
October 8, 2009 at 1:53 pm
The Samsung Jack, wow lots of features! I can eliminate taking a camera, laptop on my trips with this.
Janice says:
October 8, 2009 at 1:55 pm
The single button access to features/applications and larger keyboard both appeal to me. I am a busy Mom that travels quite a bit for work and appreciates having one piece of equipment that will keep me connected (home, work and play)!
Cara Gruszecki says:
October 8, 2009 at 2:08 pm
I loved my Blackjack, and would love to love the new phone, as my Blackjack has seen better days. The keyboard is too cool and will help me text even faster!!!

I like the fact that it’s pretty compact and has the “direct push” button for all the key features on the phone i.e. GPS, mail, etc. I like it’s ability to take video (my current phone doesnt do that) and Im able to retrieve my email while Im mobile. Thank you for the opportunity!

I want a phone to keep in contact with my family and my future wife. The Samsung Jack phone would be the prefect gift for us. It would be a great way to start out together. I don’t mean to brag but everyone will get the Samsung Jack when I do. It will keep us all calm, cool, and connected.

I am still using an original iPhone but am not happy that Apple will not enable simple things like SMS even though it can do it. They of course want me to buy a new 3GS instead of making a feature like that work on the original, like it should have in the first place. There are other things like that which give Apple a bit of an arrogance that is finally starting to get to me so I am thinking about another phone and the Samsung Jack seems like it would be a nice replacement. Thanks for the review and congrats to you and your wife on the baby.

The Jack (or Blackjack) has always been under my consideration when looking at my next phone, and I’m going to need something to replace the iPhone I just lost on my vacation. I think the Jack has all the bases covered.

I have 12 brothers and sisters that I need to keep in touch with and its not easy. I have so many nieces and nephew too. Help Samsung Jack! The Samsug Jack will help me organize all their information plus more. What a great help that would be.

The xm radio, direct buttons and the camera are what would make me buy this phone, the keyboard is a bonus
Trent Wagner says:

I dig the non-attention getting style. Flashy phones wear on my nerves quickly. Also dig the form factor – always accessible quick access keys and full keyboard.

This looks like a great phone and will compete nicely with any Blackberry that is out there. The reflective surface is a pretty cool feature too. No need for a mirror anymore.
Thanks for the Giveaway!

I have been with AT&T for about 10 years and love it. I have always been in love with the samsung models my favorite being first blackjack I had till the second one then had the blackjack II. I think blackjacks are awesome phone and would love to try this one on for size. I like everything you said about the phone has me reeled in to try.

You had me at voice-guided GSP. I get lost at the drop of a hat so this would be great. I also like the display size. It would be readable even without my glasses.

The Samsung Jack looks great & you’ll be able to keep up with the newest trends about kids! My oldest is almost eighteen and phones have changed so much since then. Samsung has a great product. Now my two sons each have a Samsung phone and love them. Just want my husband to update his phone to this model of Samsung! Then he’d be in the 2000’s!
Gayle Watkins says:
October 8, 2009 at 7:19 pm

Its a great phone. I tried one out at the AT&T store. I’ve been used to Blackberry devices – so would be really curious to know how it compares in terms of ease of daily use getting e-mail etc. Looks great!
Joseph Fritsche says:

Wow! It does sound like a fabulous phone! I like all the features especially being able to transfer pictures so quickly. I’m a big picture taker so that is important to me. Not to mention the internet/email connections. Sounds like a phone to die for.

What a great phone! Certainly much more functional than the Sony Ericcson T637 I currently use
This would definitely allow me to stay connected for work and friends, and things like the radio and video capabilities make it just plain fun to use!
Thanks for an awesome giveaway.

October 9, 2009 at 12:07 pm
I am amazed at all the features this phone has! Just a few years ago I thought my husband fancied himself James Bond because he had a little Motorola flip phone! He would love this – it’s almost a mirror!
Our family is fairly up-to-speed on phones. We have 4 iPhones and 2 Blackberrys in the house. (But before you get jealous – our house also has college tuition x 3!)
We’d love to try out the Jack with the GPS and XM radio!
Form or function? I love the idea of not being forced to decide.

This would be perfect for my husband. We recently switched to unlimited texting and now he texts, tweets, and does FB all via his phone but it doesn’t have a full keyboard and it takes him forever!

Michelle Scurlock says:

You have my full attention I love the full keyboard with the easy access buttons for internet, messages, etc. Video share sounds great and easy to transfer. After seeing all the great features of the Samsung Jack I really need to upgrade my dinosaur cell phone.
Charlie says:
October 9, 2009 at 4:28 pm
I would take more pictures of my day, and document more of my family-time. It’s always handy to have a camera, because you’ll never know when you need it–and since I always have my phone on me at all times, I’ll also have a camera! Quite excited =)
*congrats on your child, btw!
Amanda @ High Impact Mom says:
October 9, 2009 at 4:50 pm
You captured my interested with the capability to capture pictures and video with this! I have a BB that does not cut it..doesn’t take pictures or allow me to access them. I need this to take up-to-the-minute pictures/video of my two daughters and be able to upload them directly to my blog. Would be so great to have this! Thanks!

I’d definitely use the XM app. I also would also use the camera phone to take pics on the go. Family always asks for pics -this would be so easy.

A full keyboard always attracts my attention. I love the button that takes you directly to your mail. I hate going through several screens to find what you are looking for, so this button is a plus,

Ryan Trombley says:
October 9, 2009 at 7:04 pm
You have captured my attention by first of all it being a blackberry, I am a
blackberry fan by far. Second full qwerty keyboard is so sweet of an option I love full keyboards on mobile phones makes it so much easier to type and also I love the fact that it’s a smartphone. The samsung Jack is phone I am in love with unfortually with not enough money to purchase one I am really struggling on getting one but I do love the phones ad I hope I am the lucky reader that gets chosen to recieve this phone, I would be so greatful. I also love this phone by it’s Bluetooth capabilites considering I love phones with Bluetooth because I use it all the time because k am driving alot and need this feature on my new phone and I also love the sleek an sexy design of it they did an awesome job on this phone let me tell you.

Congratulations on the birth of your new child!! I’m due this winter so you definitely caught my attention talking about taking all those easy photos of your new baby you have taken with the Samsung Jack. It would be a blast to be able to send my parents and family photos of our new little right after he’s born.
Milcah says:
October 9, 2009 at 8:24 pm
I like the fact that it has blue-tooth file transfer capability!! P.S. Here’s wishing you and your wife a lifetime of happiness with your new baby!!
Wendy Limauge says:
October 10, 2009 at 12:14 am
After seeing the video I have to say that I would love to try this phone out for myself and possibly get one to test, review, and tell my readers about on my blog. The ability to take clear photos and videos is a plus in a phone these days and it can make it so you don’t need a digital camera. I like the fact that you mentioned it is easily to upload them to the computer. That is another benefit I would like to test out because getting them from the phone to the computer is half the battle.
Val Pearson says:
October 10, 2009 at 3:42 am
First, congrats on your new baby! My use of the camera part on the phone would also increase. This phone can do it ALL! Amazing! Thanks so much for the contest.

Congrats on the new born! I’m always fiddling around to find my camera, especially during the precious moments with the kids. It would be nice to have a phone that has a camera, and something I could use as a planner. The short-cut keys, PERFECT.
Dana says:
October 10, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Wow – what an awesome phone. With 5 kids ages 20 – 3, it’s always a challenge to try and keep up with who is doing what or whom is taking who where….
This phone would be AWESOME in helping me de-stress a little and therefore keeping my family calm, cool and connected!

I have a beginner phone and have mastered all the basic features. It’s an LG Vu. I love it, but yours is so much larger and easier on the older person’s eyes. Wow – I would love to try it out. I’m on AT&T – so a sim switch would do the trick.
LYNDA GREENE says:
October 11, 2009 at 7:32 pm
I would use this to stay in touch with my family, keep birthdates, addresses, at my fingertips. Hard to remember 6 grown kids birthdays and phone numbers, plus 1 16 yr old granddaughter I am raising. She reminds me of her important day tho.
And then I could use it for a little while escaping the world by playing games on it.
John N. Liagridonis says:
October 12, 2009 at 2:48 pm
How would you use this Samsung Jack to keep your family calm, cool and connected? I’ll tell ya!
Im a foster parents to three (3) amazing children. I havent had a steady job for quite some time. I do Video Deposition work for attorneys mainly which means you never know when they settle out of court or if they still need me. Its so last minute. I also am trying to get grants to create educational games for the Wii and Playstation because they really don’t exist at all. I wanna help as many people as I can, and in doing so better the lives of my new family.
With this phone I would be able to create a website where attorneys’ can schedule and cancel Video Depositions so I can receive email update on my phone so I have a better idea of when Im free to spend time with my kids and use it for my new business to help project manage and use the business applications. Best part of all I could use the new Family Map service and give my old cell phone to the kids and be able to track them and use Twitter and know up to the minute whats going on.
This is a phone that I would get lots of use. The kind of phone that I would end up using so much that a year from now I would probably need a replacement.
This phone would change my life and others in so many ways. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell you how this phone could change my life and having a chance to WIN it.
Thank you So Much!
