Blackjack 3G/Edge Network Selection Solved!
I've figured out how to put the blackjack into Edge mode by default. Simple really. It's the same procedure for the samsung ZX20 (which was my previous phone).

1. Enter *#1546792*#
2. Select Option 3 Netowrk & Call Settings
3. Select option 5 Network Mode
4. Select GSM

Let's see how that affects battery performance.

sweet. I'm gonna try this on my Blackjack in a few minutes.

by the way, would I need to go through the same process every time when I want to switch from UMTS to GSM/EDGE or does it stay as long as I dont change it?

It'll stay on the same setting until you change it.

I found a battery cover designed for an extended battery, but no extended battery to go with it.
