About Windows Mobile 6, The following improvements are available with Windows Mobile 6: Improved messaging and collaboration, including ability to read HTML email, calendar ribbon, keyboard shortcuts, integrated Windows Live experience and more.
Windows Mobile 6 includes new naming conventions:
+ Windows Mobile 6 Standard (formerly Smartphone) is a non-touch platform designed for handheld use
+ Windows Mobile 6 Professional (formerly Pocket PC Phone Edition) is designed for touch screen for flexible input.
+ Windows Mobile 6 Classic (formerly Pocket PC) designed for devices with no cellular radio
The upgrade was previously announced at last year’s CTIA expo, and was expected to be released last summer. However, Samsung and AT&T perpetually delayed the update. The update has taken so long to be released, that AT&T has since released the original BlackJack’s successor, the SGH-i617 BlackJack II.
The update is available free of charge, similar to other Windows Mobile 6 upgrades. In addition, the update includes Office Mobile for Windows Mobile 6 Standard for free. As with other AT&T upgrades, TeleNav and MobiTV are now preloaded onto the device with the update. Because the original BlackJack lacks A-GPS functionality, an external GPS receiver will be required to use it.
The update can be downloaded free of charge from Samsung website now. Check the Samsung BlackJack SGH-i607 software update page at www.samsung.com/us/i607/windowsupgrade

upgrade me now
I thought I was going to have to buy it!
Does the SGH-i607 supports the new version of Windows mobile 6.1? My phone has already windows mobile 6.0 but I would like to upgrade it to 6.1.
If it does support, can I download the 6.1 from the following site?

Thanks.
I was wondering the same thing, so I tried it and it says the S/W version is wrong on the device. S/W meaning software I'm assuming. So, no you cannot upgrade to 6.1. At least not that I have found YET.
