As a Blackjack owner I am very dissapointed, but not because I just bought a Blackjack and I want one but because the only significant upgrade seems to be WM6. We already know it won't have Wi-Fi, no dual cameras, etc. It just looks like the Blackjack, just glossier hardware and software wise.

....Dual Cameras?....wow....cell phones are getting quite ridiculous.

But I think this is meant for people that don't already have one more than an upgrade, which is probably why they didn't keep the name.

Dual cameras can be really useful on a 3G phone. You can make video calls and such, which you can't do if the only camera is on the back of the phone

My UK Version of the BlackJack ver.1 (SGH-i600) has WiFi, 3G and Dual-cameras. I think its just a US / AT&T thing that your phones seem to lack a lot of facilities... Although I have to say that a Firmware update was required to strip the *nasty* Orange UK branding / crippleware....

Take a look at my one here in my Blog:-
