i'm listening to xm radio on my samsung blackjack (while blogging from it), the smartphone the cingular rep recommended to me this afternoon when I went into their store with the intention of getting a treo 680 to replace my broken 650... ive had the blackjack for 12 hours now and must say i'm impressed... the streaming xm radio, that's now livening up my living room at 6:24 in the morning, works because of the superfast 3G internet access, that makes downloading email and web surfing (and moblogging!) much faster... other differences with the treo include the 1.3 megapixel camera and the windows mobile os (the treo 650 and 680 have the palm os). the windows mobile os seems to just be better designed than the palm os. the sales rep shared with me that the bugginess of the windows os on treos is what is causing the delay of the treo 750 launch, but it seems to work fine on the blackjack.

The only complaints I have with the blackjack are that it doesnt have a copy and paste function and it doesn't automatically capitalize the first letter of each sentence like the treo or add apostrophes where needed, but oh well at least the keypad works... and did I mention the xm radio? 3G has it's killer app.
