Cingular Wireless, Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung) and Microsoft have unveiled the BlackJack, a smart device with features for business customers and consumers alike.

The BlackJack will be available exclusively from Cingular in the U.S November 16 for $199.99 with a two-year activation and unlimited data plan.

This 3G device features a fully integrated QWERTY keyboard with a large high-resolution QVGA color screen, MP3 player, access to Cingular Music, access to online subscription music content from eMusic, Napster and Yahoo!, Cingular Video, Internet browsing over Internet Explorer Mobile, 1.3 mega pixel digital camera with video capture capabilities and Stereo Bluetooth version 2.0 with stereo headset support.

In addition, the BlackJack provides users wireless access to business and personal email accounts through solutions like Good Mobile Messaging, Microsoft direct push technology with Outlook Mobile and Cingular Xpress Mail. The BlackJack also offers over-the-air synchronization of calendar, contact and to-do lists and access to enterprise applications.
