When AT&T;came out with the Blackjack series I thought, 'I have to have one of those phones.' My mom and brother already had one and I loved them and I figured I would get one for my birthday, but I was wrong, I got the Blackjack II. When I opened the mail package and stared at the box in front of me I dropped my current phone and screamed. Now, it's more than six months later, and I'm still in love with this phone. I've probably dropped it a hundred times by now, no cracks and not very many scratches, and it still works like a beast on steroids. There are many applications available on this phone to make it exiting each time you use it whether on trips, in a confence call, or just bored. I highly recomend it for those who want a smartphone, but are too afraid of high maitenence.
