Blackjack extended life battery

Overview: Due to the size of the Samsung Blackjack it was designed with a battery that would keep it at its ultra thin look. Because it is a 3G device and has a Windows operating system along with other battery draining features some customers may have experienced a shortened battery life. Samsung and Cingular have worked to produce a bigger battery. There is also a new back cover that looks awesome with the Blackjack. We wanted to make sure that we handle every customer that does have a concern about their Blackjack battery life. Cingular has launched a website that will address the customers concerns and does offer a battery replacement.

• Extended battery is also available as a free option for customers dissatisfied with battery life
– At&t is not overtly communicating this option. Should be used on a case-by-case basis.
– Customer needs to fill out a web form
– URL is www.web-rebates.com/cingular/blackjack
– Needs IMEI, MIN and shipping address
– IMEIs between 352794010030189 - 352794012269959 are eligible for this offer
– Young America will process & fulfill
– Web site will be live Feb 16th 2007. Fulfillment process may take 2 to 4 weeks due to short supply of extended batteries

Hmm...thanks for the post...but as far as I know, all of the Blackjacks sold since December now come with this already in the box. It's a great offer for those who didn't get that initially.

well not really. I got mine in Dec and it did not come with one. Only new shipments ( not current stock ) were shipped with them. So if you were one the "lucky" few that got it first then you got the standard ones..

Thanks for the info! Love the BLACKJACK but I've been frustrated with the short battery life. Switching between the two standard  batteries is cumbersome so this will go a long way.

I bought two BJs one week apart.  1 came with the extended battery with cover; the other came with the regular battery.  I have noticed that on eBay and other places, the price of the extended battery with cover is under $10.00.

I might purchase additonal batteries.

I got mine in January and it did not come with an extended battery.  Thank you for the information.

when you say that youth american will process and fulfill does that mean that this isn't a cingular offer??..... who offers this, youth america??... cause my IMEI qualifies and i called cingular to confirm and they said they have no idea about this offer.... thanks for the help

I just completed the web-form for this rebate but when I checked the status, it says that a mailed submission form is still required. Anyone know where this form can be located and is it truly necessary?

well i just got an email confirmation and it has a cingular log on it..... hopefully it will show up on the tracking system on the rebate page sometime soon.... i think its ligit it gives a tracking ID and a promotion for the extended battery cover and says it will be sent to my house in 2 weeks..... and for the original poster in the thread....THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

I just filled out the online web form and got a confirmation that the extended battery and cover will be sent within 2 weeks.

I don't think it's a scam.
