Rogers pushes Samsung Blackjack II out the door as Rogers "Jack"

We hardly like the name -- How about something a little catchier Ted? -- but Rogers' Jack will make up for it with a pile of features and some pretty decent pricing. We've been all over this guy before and this is indeed the same handset but with Rogers branding -- oh, and we're still not seeing WiFi. Pricing is set from $199, on a 3-year stint, $374 on two years, and $399 for a one year contract. Availability is listed as sold out so if you want to get your mitts on one, better line up, like right now.

Ha! The name must be RIM's doing. Their "we own the words 'black' and 'berry'" lawsuits are insane, but I guess they have a little more clout in their own country.

Hmmm. Someone should own the words 'phone' and 'scoop' here in the US ;-)

Crazy pricing. Way too expensive. At&T has them for $99 on sale right now with 2 year contract.

Man do need GSM competition in Canada!

Apparently Fido is getting this at the end of Feb. I wonder if they'll charge even more?

Lol, I'm a pro gambler and I always thought that Blackjack is something like this: http://www.blackjackencyclopedia.com/ :)
