Blackjack II Coming Soon From AT&T

While reading up on the new Mobile Device Manager, and looking for device support, I stumbled across some specs for the soon to be released (apparently) Blackjack II:

AT&T Blackjack II

Introducing the Blackjack II by Samsung. It’s sleeker, smarter and more simple than ever. Now with Windows Mobile 6, faster 3G downloads, a larger 2.4” display, and a stylish look, it’s the phone all other smartphones want to be.

• 2.4 Inch 65K TFT, QVGA Display

• QWERTY with FRONT JOG WHEEL & Build in GPS

• 3.6 Mbps UMTS / HSDPA (850/1900/2100 Mhz), GPRS / EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHZ)

A quick check on AT&T's site, and sure enough, there's a Blackjack II page now, with some more specs:
