Ah Man, Just call it the BlackJack III…. Please? Epix?

Oh well, so much for what everyone believed to be the “BlackJack III“. Can’t we just stick with a naming scheme? Anyhow, BGR is reporting that the Samsung i907 is coming as the Samsung Epix. That’s not that cool sounding to me. Reminds me of World of Warcraft.
This flyer was uncovered by BGR and shows us that the Epix is a nice looking phone, with a touch screen. I am pretty sure the hardware is very similar to the i780 that was available overseas. Either way, way to go AT&T but stick with naming conventions next time. Thanks.

I didn’t believe it. The BlackJack series are non-touch devices. Calling this the BlackJack III would be misleading.

I believe that this is the Blackjack III. I work for AT&T and up until the phone was released, we heard it referred to as the Blackjack III. There have been rumors of a Blackjack III though. Who knows, the Epix is a great phone and I can’t wait to use one full time. And about referring to the BJ series as non-touch screen, Palm released the Treo 750 which runs Windows, that doesn’t make it any less a Treo. Since they upgraded the OS to WM6.1 pro, they needed to change the phone to touch screen.
@nyr27ak:
That’s a very good point, but I think some Palm lovers might disagree. :D Also, they called the first Windows Mobile the Treo 700w (”w” for Windows), and I think any WM Treos have a “w” in the model number (at least up until the Treo Pro).
They could have upgraded to WM 6.1 Standard, though.
If AT&T had wanted to keep the BlackJack name for branding reasons (which they apparently didn’t), I would have suggested BlackJack Touch instead of BlackJack III. That would have let people know it wasn’t the same old BlackJack.
