The slide here clearly identifies the Pivot as a "successor of BlackJack series," yes -- but the same slide deck also refers to the Samsung Jackie (the
Jack's codename) as a BlackJack successor, so we wouldn't put too much stock in that. The fact is that this Pivot is a touch-capable WinMo device with QWERTY, and we can't imagine AT&T bothering to stock both this and the similarly-spec'd
Epix at the same time. By and large, this seems like an ever-so-slight upgrade to the Epix, featuring 4GB of onboard Flash, a 2.6-inch QVGA touchscreen, AGPS, WiFi, and a 3 megapixel camera (up from the older model's 2 megapixel unit). It also has triband HSDPA for international 3G roaming, but curiously, it seems that it's lined up to launch with WinMo 6.1 -- at least at the time of this slide's creation, which has the phone pegged for an October launch. That'd be precisely a year after the launch of the Epix -- perfect timing for a refresh, and we wouldn't be surprised if they slipped 6.5 into the mix by the time that happens. Follow the break for a closer shot of the phone.

2gb of ram?
Hey, It's running Windows.
Does it still have an optical mouse?
Post the 3g microcell slide already!
Confusing
B = byte
b = bit
sooo... this article is incorrect and there is only 256MB RAM and 512MB on board flash not 4GB(4Gb=0.5GB)?
Hey hey now, they may be horribly wrong but you can't blame them. They are so use to being told how to think and what to do by Apple and their computers.
320x240? Must be a typo...I hope? :-)
This looks like a really good windows mobile phone. I think a lot of people will love the full qwerty keyboard on this, plus you are running windows mobile.
does it have the optical mouse and stylus?
