Extended Battery

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

Re: Extended Battery

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.

Re: Extended Battery

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..

Re: Extended Battery

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.

Re: Extended Battery

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.

Re: Extended Battery

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

Re: Extended Battery

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?

Re: Extended Battery

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.
