@ Dave & Matt
Sorry for double post.

The last leaked beta version was I607UCGI3 I believe.

See: http://dan.omefilms.com/ for details.

The file name i have is: WM6-Blackjack-UCGD2
It may be hard to find, if so let me know and maybe we’ll trade for it.

What is the “filename” for the rom so others can search for it a bit easier?

Windows mobile 6 is out for the samsung blackjack i607, but you have to look for it, att has not released it, but it can be found. i’m found a version of wm6 and it works great on my blackjack i607. you just have to look hard for it.

There was a project by a national provider to provide exactly this feature of a carousel interface. Some who saw the application prototypes found it intuitive and much easier to navigate. Detailed requirements and functional specifications were prepared by the manufacturer and prototype handsets designed to work with the application were built. However the provider was acquired and at this point, not sure if the project is still a go.

@Cannon

I’m not going to run a leaked ROM. Period. No matter how great everyone says it is. I’m well aware of the deficiencies with it and given the problems vs the benefit (to me,) I’d rather hold out for an official release. But given that it’s taken them this long, I’m doubtful that at&t will release it at all.

But regardless, I’ll likely hold on to this phone until iPhone with 3.5G or a phone w/ Nokia’s S60 touch UI materializes, or if HTC releases something worthwhile in that time frame (a slim phone w/ Kaiser specs, yummy!)

I like my Tilt with WM6 and this looks to be one of those upgrades that I’d like to have more than WM6 on my Blackjack.
(which will never happen)

WM is nothing compared to BB 8320 Curve I have worked WM5 & WM6 and several BB devices and BB kicks WM butt

I have HTC Home, fTouchFLO and the TouchCube installed on my JASJAM and it looks great and function well. Still would love to try this out when it becomes available. Like fashion, I like to be able to change the user interface every now and then.

Btw, if you aren’t already, try a phone from HTC. I love their phones – I’ve had at least 6 of them over the last few years. They are slick and work well.

Dude – cut the bull. I’ve been using WM since the early versions and it is way, way better than anything else including Blackberry which I had to use for work for some time.

The only real complaint is boot time but then I only shut my phone off when I get on a plane (shh, and then sometimes I only shut off the radio).

Any new wimo update needs to be met with speculation. As you have mention the iPhone is something learn from but it should only be that. WiMo should be released with flash or wake3 installed and developed to give more use to what is already there.

The interface looks mysteriously like Yahoo Mobiles interface.

Well that looks good but the stability has always been a problem. But the look is much improved compared to the current WM which looks horrible.

I just wish that they learn from the iPhone and add some flash and usability to the interface of BOTH Pocket PC and Smartphone.

@Randy

You gotta look around the internets. I’ve seen the WM6 update for the Blackjack (along with updates for the 8125 & 8525). Just gotta take the time and follow the instructions.

Just to be clear – that particular bit of “marketing hogwash” is my own, not necessarily that of Microsoft (for this software, anyway).

MAYBE ANOTHER UPDATE IS A WAY FOR THE PHONE TO NOT FREEZE EVERY 3 SECONDS. THAT’D BE A PLUS
