Samsung Jack i637 Phone, Silver
This is my first smart phone and little bit disappointed with the phone.
Bad:
1. Suddenly drops the connection (wifi and bluetooth).
2. Size, ugly shape.
3. Poor Battery Life
Good:
1. Windows Mobile OS – specially office.
2. Install apps easily.
3. Samsung Brand, good support.
4. 3.2 MP camera, excellent voice quality.
Over all, i don’t think it is really worth to pay more than $200. If you get a free phone then you can use it, if not i won’t suggest to buy it.

This is my second time with Samsung and this phone is awesome in most aspects, but like everything is not perfect.
Pros:
-Very classy
-Thanks for Windows Mobile the navigation is really good
-Good response no lag
-Microsoft Office Mobile Thumbs up
-Good Resolution Screen
-Wi-Fi and Qwerty
-Price
Cons:
-Bad design for the On/Off Button and why we have to “zoom” with the volume buttons?
-Battery Life can be better but you know wi-fi has its price
-That odd exclusive samsung multijack for the earphones
One point not good for me is that I can’t sync it to my laptop, because of the internet security from the company, but this is not phone’s fault.
In fact this is a very good product for the price, you can find better gadgets but you have to pay more, the main point for this is WM 6.1 and not other OS.

I have always been a fan of Samsung phones, getting a Blackjack, Blackjack 2 and now the Jack.
What I like:
1) The size is perfect–not too small, fits in the palm of your hand, without being too bulky
2) QWERTY keyboard — I’m not too keen on the new fangled touchscreens (esp on the iPhone) as I type a lot of text and emails and having a real keyboard is much more convenient than a touchscreen
3) windows environment — familiar OS, so there’s no learning curve
What I don’t like:
1) batter life- Most smartphones probably have this issue, so not really a phone specific complaint
2) apps (lack of)- if you want a lot of phone apps, this isn’t the phone for you
Verdict:
If you are looking for a functional smartphone that has email, web browsing and all the basics, then I highly recommend this phone. But if you are looking for a cool phone with all the latest apps and technology, then this one isn’t the model for you

I upgraded from the Black Jack to this and it’s a good little phone, very light weight and fast internet browsing. Only issue I have with this phone is the Battery drains very fast. Not a useful cell phone if you’re planning on doing a lot of texing and web browsing.

having owned both the blackjack 2 and the epix, some observations:
-product is much smaller and fits much better in your hand, although not textured and thus slipperier than bj2
-chargers, usb sync cables all work from previous samsung smartphone models
-keyboard works fine
-pictures don’t convey the chrome band which is quite prominent
-SIM card and microSD card slots are in battery compartment
-battery door has a recess to make it easier to open
