LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- A mobile phone is not just a phone anymore. In the day of ever-increasing need for communication and data, messaging and smart phones have been taking the wireless market by storm. Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung) recognizes this growing trend with a focus to continue to provide consumers with slim, sleek smart phones that meet both their personal and business needs.

"The pressure on mobile professionals and business consumers to stay wired into their e-mail and Internet while away from the office continues to grow by leaps and bounds," said Dale Sohn, President, Samsung Telecommunications America. "To meet that need, Samsung has several quality messaging and smart phones that provide e-mail, voice and Internet services while remaining slim and sleek. We look forward to bringing consumers more devices, such as the SCH-i760, a CES Innovations Award Honoree."

The latest in Samsung's line of smart phones is the Samsung BlackJack(TM). With the Samsung BlackJack(TM) customers can get rich entertainment features, powerful business applications and the familiar look and feel of Windows Mobile(R) 5.0, turbo-charged by Cingular's 3G-enabled BroadbandConnect service in an ultra sleek design. With features such a fully integrated QWERTY keyboard, large high-resolution QVGA color screen and side scroll wheel, the Samsung BlackJack is the ultimate messaging device.

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

Users looking for a slim, clamshell style messaging phone can look to the Samsung SGH-t719, a premium slim flip phone. The flip phone design is married to a powerful, yet compact, QWERTY-like keyboard with speedy word predictive text and an enhanced organizer making it quick and simple to type messages, remain organized and stay connected. Consumers will benefit from wireless calendar synchronization, remote address lookup, and advanced security with Triple DES encryption.
