A BlackJack II for Europe: Samsung i-616

We unveiled the potential BlackJack II for AT&T earlier this month and it looks like the::unwired has posted some information that Samsung will release a Samsung i-616 model, which will be identical to the i-617 but may feature European bands according to the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG).

The BlackJack II i-617 will feature GSM 850 and 1900 as well as WCDMA 850 and 1900 bands, which means it will be headed to North America. Europe operates under the 2100 MHz band for its UMTS/HSDPA network, making a need for a Europe-specific model.

Europe currently has the i-600 as their version of the BlackJack. Perhaps the i-616 will be the successor to the i-600.
