Blackjack III and 6.1 for Blackjack II to be released july

[Guest fhaines]

Sure I can do that.

But my WM6.1 is Brazilian portuguese, is it good for you?

If so, I will try to do it this weekend.

You may also want to contact these guys.

They put together the WM6 rom for the original Blackjack before it was released to the public. It states that they need a WM 6.1 rom to work with and are willing to give a hand at extracting it from your Blackjack II.

Hope it works out, as I am really tired of waiting on Samsung for the update.

I have tried working with Txcaesar and Da_G by trying to get them the ROM for i617 from mobileburn. mobileburn initially posted a demo of BJ2 with WM6.1 on youtube. After an initial response mobileburn failed to provide the ROM, and eventually after some time I gave up asking them when I saw a ROM Dump of wm6.1 for BJ2 on Txcaesar's site. So as far as I know they do have the ROM DUMP and wokring on the build. Consequently as per my last attempt to contact Da_G and Txcaesar to find out the latest on their efforts did not yeild a response. We all should get together, and ping them and let them know that there are willing volunteers out there - and we want to help in developing this build. I believe they are looking for a bootloader.. or so I read from crawling the forums.

waiting...

Regards,

Nice, now I know I can't perform the upgrade from my computer. No x64 drivers available. Damn it, VMWare to the rescue, hopefully.

Awesome! Shouldn't be long now! :D

The Vista installer will probably work in XP. You just have to run it in XP compatibility mode, maybe?

[Guest Sir_Brizz]

Both of the FAQs have been removed :D

Today the link is broken. Yesterday it was ok, but i did not downloaded all the programs needed for the update ...

Anyone downloaded everything and tested it ?

Edited August 29, 2008 by rafael BR

[Guest Sir_Brizz]

The download links were never active for the actual upgrade.

[Guest Hodaka]

Both of the FAQs have been removed :D

I had printed one to PDF.. unfortunately, I didn't get both..

[Guest MadSci]

Well, all us BJII owners can kiss the WM 6.1 update farewell till 2009 I think. :D

AT&T's leaked 'roadmap' said it was due in July '08, which is long gone already, but there's no way they will roll it out until they have wrung every last 'early adopter' $ out of the new(ish) Q running WM 6.1 :D

Sigh, I wish AT&T hadn't provided me with such a long trail of broken promises over the past 5 years. Maybe I wouldn't be such a Cynic! :angry:

so if we upgrade to 6.1 what will stay as far as user data and what will go?

will contacts, settings, graphics, etc stay?

You will lose everything.

You have been syncing all your Personal Information to Outlook right? If not, you should do that first.

I love my Blackjack just as much as the next person,and though I don't really like many touch screen devices,I think I'm going to invest my money in the Samsung Omnia ...check it out here http://omnia.samsungmobile.com/ This is one amazing smartphone,check out the spcs on it,it's got embedded GPS if you also notice :lol:

[Guest H.Flores]

That Omnia seems like an awsome phone

According to the following article the BJIII /or the the Epix- is going to be a really nice replacement for the BJII sounds like its going to be just as awsome as the omnia and to be released October 21st( Omnia looks too much like an I-Phone to me but still looks awsome)- I really like the options on the epix and the idea of an optical mouse and wi-fi as well as 3g

Funny this article quotes a different name for the BJ III calling it ATT Mirage
