Samsung SGH-i617 passes FCC; hello, BlackJack II?

The FCC’s being a little shy about full documentation here as usual, but we know this much: it’s the Samsung SGH-i617, the device’s outline looks BlackJack-ish, and it rocks HSDPA 850 / 1900 (thanks, SAR report!). Combine that with the persistent rumors of a BlackJack II in the works, the fact that the popular BlackJack (whose model number is i607, coincidentally) is getting a little long in the tooth, and AT&T devices from Samsung typically end in “7,” and, well, you can pretty much figure out the rest. Give us Windows Mobile 6, WiFi, and a slightly better keyboard, and you’ve got a worthy successor, guys.
