Samsung BlackJack SGH-i607
Promising solution for battery issue
Here's the secret: go to the wireless manager and turn off the radio for the phone. Now my battery lasts days without a charge.
Sure you can't make or receive calls, browse the Internet or check email, but I think these are small sacrifices to make for such a cool phone.
Now I use it all day for solitaire and that nifty calculator.
Great solution! 😉

Also check Blackjack forums at howardforums.com or blackjacksmartzone.com. Look for thread with the name Tips & Tricks. They show how to create a shortcut so you can switch back and forth easier.

I just got this phone how do I get to the wireless manager to turn off the radio?
Short press on power button (left on top of the phone). It'll show the menu, select Wireless Manager screen, scroll to Phone and click OK button - you'll see status changing from "on" to "off".
