I have upgraded my Samsung BlackJack for a BlackJack II. So far so good:
- I can now use MS Voice Command to lookup a phone number without waiting 10 seconds for it to search my contacts (I have about 2,000 contacts in my phone because I sync my sales contact database to the phone).
- The bluetooth stack has been improved. Now I can redirect podcasts and streaming radio via bluetooth to my Jawbone headset using a free application called BlueTooth Audio, or you can install my favorite media player, PocketPlayer (not free) which has built in support for redirecting to a BlueTooth headset.
- The connector for the cable is different that the BJ connector which means that I have to replace all of my cables, chargers and my wired headset. Very frustrating!
- I was upset that AT&T disabled Internet Connection Sharing, but a hack is now out that will enable Internet Connection Sharing. Now I can now connect my Laptop to the internet via USB or Bluetooth via my BJ2 at 300 - 500kbps. The instructions and files can be found on this post at Howard Forums, but I have cleaned up the instructions for you here (note that I am running WM 6, I have not tried this yet on WM 6.1):
- Download the SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab file. (UPDATE: The link to the original appunlock.cab file was broken, so I have updated the link with a new file. I haven't tested this new file, so let me know if it works.)
- Download the secpolicies.cab file.
- Download the BJ.WM6.ICS.Enable.cab file (WARNING: If you download this file using IE, it may incorrectly name the extension .isc be sure to rename it to .cab before saving it.)
- Transfer all of these cab files to your BlackJack's \My Documents folder.
- Install the SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab file and reboot.
- Install the secpolicies.cab and reboot.
- Install the BJ.WM6.ICS.Enable.cab and reboot.
- Navigate to \My Documents and click on Certs.cab to install and then reboot.
- You should now be able to run ICS from the Internet Sharing Icon in your Start Menu. (Make sure your Network Connection in Internet Sharing is set to MEdia Net.)
