Samsung Blackjack II with GPS Coming to AT&T

A new version of the Cingular Blackjack is coming to an AT&T store near you. The phone offers the same sleek design with an upgraded Windows Mobile 6 Standard OS. The phone also offers built in GPS; a feature we do not see that often in Smartphones. Although this device has been “upgraded” there is still NO WiFi!!

“Introducing our triple threat – the BlackJack II by Samsung. It’s sleeker, smarter, and even easier to use than the original. Now with Windows Mobile 6, faster 3G download speeds, a larger 2.4″ display screen, and a stylish look, it’s the device all other smart devices want to be.”

WIMP; Where is my Phone?

WIMP is a great new application for Windows Mobile phones which have a built in GPS receiver. Let’s say your phone gets stolen and you have no idea where it is, No Problem you have WIMP!!

When you first use the program you have to enter in a pincode and a friend’s phone number. If someone steals your phone and puts in there SIM this program will automatically send a text msg informing you of the new number.

Now that you have the new number of the person using your phone or if they’re still using your SIM all you have to do is send a short Text Msg ($WIMP****) with your pincode.

Now the phone will automatically turn on the GPS in the background without the person knowing and reply with a text msg telling you the exact coordinates of the phone location and a URL link for Google Maps.

WIMP is an excellent program and really worth buying. The program only cost 10 pounds which is around $20 and is definitely worth the investment in case you really lose your phone or get it stolen. WIMP works on all Windows Mobile 5 and 6 phones and is only 140KB!!
