Brett over at MyTodayScreen scurried down to AT&T and picked up a brand new / just released Samsung Epix (SGH-I907). This Windows Mobile 6.1 based phone is billed as the first to include an optical mouse. Sizewise it looks about the same as the iPhone (Brett has a nice comparison shot). Yesterday I was out in New York City at a client and the bookkeeper had a Samsung Blackjack II on her desk. I asked her how she liked it. As she started to roll her eyes and shake her head I stopped her and said “let me guess – battery life sucks?”. To which she vigorously nodded yes (even with the spare battery they gave her). We’ll have to wait for Brett’s full review to see if Samsung has slayed the poor power problem. Head over to MyTodayScreen to take in a few more photos of the Blackjack III.
