AT&T Rebate Points to a BlackJack III

The Boy Genius Report is pointing out the new Samsung i637 Jack, which showed itself on a rebate form. The handset should be coming to the carrier soon, but only time will tell when a launch will happen. BGR has pointed out before that the FCC has cleared the Jack for use State-side. Here is what we know:

-The device will sport Windows Mobile

-The Jack will be a MediaFLO handset for all your mobile TV viewing on AT&T

-The device will support 3G, WiFi, and Bluetooth

-Camera is of unknown resolution

Could this be the next BlackJack replacement with Windows Mobile Standard sans touchscreen? The original BlackJack was carried as the i607 on AT&T and the BlackJack II was called the i627. The non-touchscreen Propel Pro was dubbed the i620. It seems that the i600 series is associated with non-touchscreen Windows Mobile devices for Samsung while touchscreens are given the i900 series moniker courtesy of the Epix.

Maybe Samsung will port the trackpad from the Epix and Omnia to compete with the forthcoming trackpad BlackBerry. Traditionally, Windows Mobile devices have used directional pads to navigate, but a trackpad on a Standard device makes sense, especially with a mouse cursor since Windows Mobile standard lacks a touchscreen.
