"Here is the latest information regarding windows mobile 6.0 and the BlackJack. Samsung and Microsoft are submitting 6.0 software version to Cingular on May 26th. At that time Cingular has 8 weeks to review the OS and give approval. Given the approval all BlackJack from late July time frame going forward will come from the factory with the new 6.0 OS. Also at that time there will be a download for existing BlackJack users who want to upgrade via an Cingular/AT&T hosted website. So yes , given Cingular approval the BlackJack will support windows 6.0 OS."
Smartphone Thoughts reader, Foxbat121 has posted a copy of a letter sent from Samsungs National Accounts Manager that talks about the possibility of Cingular releasing a Windows Mobile 6 update for their 3 top selling phones. If you're questioning the validity of this post, then you might want to read a recent post over on Engadget Mobile that has the exact same information. It's starting to look very promising. I hope I can wait until July.

Your headline refers to CINGULAR releasing WM6 to Cingular top selling phoneS, when in fact the piece only speaks about Backjack or Samsung phoneS only.
Those of us who bought another popular WM5 phone (the 3125) remain hopeful and are certainly led to read this Blackjack article anticipating that other phoneS will be discussed as well.
Patience is painful...

Question is exactly what flavor of WM6 will Samsung/Microsoft send to Cingular. Will it include Mobile Office or will it be a WM6 Lite similar to the WM5 Lite which BlackJack Cingular users have today.

This has been beaten to death on this forums. It will be WM6 Standard of course.

It will get the Windows Mobile 6 Standard edition. It will have Mobile Office, you will be able to edit documents on your smart phone (BlackJack) post upgrade.
