I've gotten quite a few emails about my previous Samsung Blackjack and OS X entry so I thought I would answer some of the common questions:
1. How do you sync the Blackjack with OS X? I use the very handy "Missing Sync" application from Markspace. It costs $40 and is well worth it. You can find out more here.
2. Did you get the GMail app working correctly? Yes, I found a page that had a copy of the IBM j9 Java engine for the arm processor which worked just fine on the phone. In addition the rest of the apps I like to use such as Google Maps and Opera work just great too. I'm not going to post instructions here, there are many other sites with the info. Howard Forums is a good place to start.
3. How well does the phone work? It works great with the exception that it eats batteries for lunch. I guess that should be a base assumption when the phone comes with two batteries. I've had to alter my charging habits and now have the charger on my nightstand and charge it every night. I don't get G3 service at home or work, but have gotten it in other areas in Los Angeles and in northern California. Bubble Breaker is strangely addictive and I've yet to really notice anything I dislike about it.
4. Does the Blackjack charge when plugged in via USB? Yes but only when it is connected via software as well. Unless Missing Sync is connected to it, it will not charge.
Now to just swap out that darn Cingular java stack all together.
