Alright, well I'm under contract still with Cingular. My phone broke a few days ago and need to get a new one, went on their site and saw this little badboy. Anybody have any experience with it, or opinions?

I saw one while at the Cingular store yesterday and played around with it. Not a bad little phone, I wouldn't give up my 8125 for it though, the screen is to small for my taste and I don't want to give up my MiniSD cards for the more expensive MicroSD cards. If I were to get a new phone the 8525 would be my choice. The one thing the Blackjack has going for it though it the UMTS, it's the connection speed, 6x faster than my 8125 (it only has EDGE, which is limited to 135kbps), if I had the unlimited internet plan still then I would definately consider getting a newer phone just for the broadband-like speeds. Both Blackjack and 8525 have this connection type, I don't know if you're able to get the $20 unlimited internet plan on the Blackjack or if they require the $40 PDA plan, with the 8125 and 8525 you can get the $20 plan and setup the connection settings to get full internet capabilities.
