Well I did it - I found a great price on some Sandisk Memory - So I garbed it. Now I was concerned because I had spent considerable time re-setting up my Phone after the (AT&T firmware) update - but I figured I would take the chance. I decided to try an just copy the files from one MicroSD to another. I did this by turning off my phone - Inserting one MicroSD into a Flash drive (the Sandisk Mobile Mate), nice tool to have. and the other into a SD up-conversion adapter - the one that usually comes with the MicroSD chip. Once my PC recognized both of the chips - I started the copy process - Drag and Drop - Nothing to it - Then I was done. I then Inserted the new 2 GIG chip into the phone - Turned it on - and then when to one of the apps that was installed on the Storage Card - The app came up with no issues - Dash Weather.
Now for the real test, Music. Now I powered up my CorePlayer ( I like the features better than Windows media player) my music was all there and with plenty of room to spare - so what did I do next - More music of course. I put an awesome Favorite play list together and loaded it to my phone. I use a couple of programs for media and tag editing - MediaMonkey (Highly recommend it - it will recognize a plethora of devices - Motorola phones - my BlackJack - iPOD's - Sansa Music players, and I have seen many others - edit and upload options are great.) the seconded tool I use for editing is Zortam MP3 Media Studio Pro ( for Batch tagging - Cover Art - there is nothing better, that I have found - the sorting capabilities are a notch above as well) for playing my music on my PC, I prefer to Use WinAmp for its integration with programs like Google Desktop and the Skins, Gadgets available for it are plentiful, so you can find a look you want any day of the week. So now I suppose you want to see the play list - well - ok here it is.

Finaly a phone with usability

Ok I am not going to get into the PC is better than the MAC or iPod is better than Zune - All I know, is that I finally have phone that gives me what I need (for business) and gives me what I want (for pleasure).
For business I get the tools I need - I can sync it to my PC / MAC for contacts and email - Calender, and alarms very nice
for pleasure I have a decent 1.3 megapixle camera / video recorder - java capability for the games - space to install fun apps like weather and the like, and if I need more I have a MicroSD slot to add an additional 2 gig of storage -
So why am I so happy -
Bluetooth - now allot of phones have bluetooth and yes they are starting to get the picture that Bluetooth done right makes the phone so much Safer and Usable.
I had a Motorola L7 and for the most part it pissed me off - no A2DP (without getting to technical this means that you can send music to a Bluetooth headset) A2DP allows your phone to now server two purposes for which one might require audio ( the phone - and - music) The BlackJack Has got Bluetooth implemented almost to a T - The only thing - and I do mean the only thing that the Blackjack lacks (right now) is native voice dialing - In my opinion voice dialing is what makes hands free - hands free.
At first, when I started using the Blackjack I needed to be tetherd to a power outlet or computer to charge it, but after some research I found a link to get a new extended battery for free from Cingular (AT&T) - which to their credit - they came through. One other issue I have a first was that the phone didn't seem to fit any cases out there - again after some research I found a great case made specifically for the BlackJack that really is nice. Today I just picked up a Generic armband "ipod" holder that fit the phone perfectly, and that combined with my Bluetooth stereo "ear bud style" headset I feel truly WireFree it;s so awesome.
If anyone would like to see some of the sites that I research and find to be usefully |
