Cingular to sell slim Samsung phone with keyboard

The phone is aimed at attracting both business and consumer customers.

CNET Senior Associate Editor Bonnie Cha takes a first look at Samsung's BlackJack.
The BlackJack, the latest device with both entertainment and business features such as e-mail, follows the footsteps of the "Q" phone from Motorola and the BlackBerry Pearl from Research In Motion, which both launched earlier this year.
Cingular, a venture of AT&T and BellSouth, said the phone, which runs software from Microsoft, would sell for $199 to customers who sign up for a two-year service plan.
The No. 2 U.S. mobile service, Verizon Wireless, owned by Verizon Communications and Vodafone Group, now sells the "Q" for $99 after a rebate.
