Samsung BlackJack SGH-i607 Updated to Windows Mobile 6

By on January 23, 2008

Samsung today released their long-delayed upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 Standard for the BlackJack SGH-i607.

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 makes several other enhancements, including improved call quality. For the full change list, click read more, or visit the download page below.
