Offered here is the Wine Red Samsung i617 BlackJack II, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked, the Windows Mobile 6 QWERTY smartphone with AT&T 3G and built-in GPS. Reconditioned red units are the value pick for collectors and retro-mobile buyers who want the colored BlackJack II, and for exporters to GSM or UMTS markets; US activation is not possible.
The Samsung BlackJack II, model SGH-i617, is AT&T's late-2007 successor to the original BlackJack: a thin QWERTY bar smartphone running Windows Mobile 6 Standard, with a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 screen, a scroll wheel, a 2 MP camera, built-in GPS with TeleNav support, Bluetooth with stereo audio, a microSD slot, quad-band GSM/EDGE, and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900/2100 for AT&T 3G. It measures 0.4 inches thick and weighs 3.52 ounces. Windows Mobile 6 gave it Outlook email and mobile Office viewing.
Collector shops, exporters, and prop buyers take the BlackJack II from TG Wireless in new and Factory Refurbished tiers and three finishes; it has no live US network.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
The BlackJack II is a 2G GSM and 3G UMTS/HSDPA phone with no LTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so this phone gets no US cellular service. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets where GSM or UMTS networks still run (the 850/1900/2100 band set covers much of the Americas), collector and prop sales, and offline use.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-mobile shops stocking Windows Mobile QWERTY smartphones.
- Export to GSM and UMTS markets in the Americas and beyond.
- Film, TV, and office-set props.
