Windows Mobile 6 for Blackjack Coming in June?

"If this rumor is to believed it, it looks like Dash owners will enjoy another full month of exclusivity. Pocketnow is reporting that "an industry source" informed them that Cingular's Samsung Blackjack smartphone won't be receiving the Windows Mobile treatment until June. It's anyone's guess as to why the updates are taking so long, as the software has clearly been ready and available for quite some time now. Without, ah hem, pointing fingers, we can only assume that this is a carrier-side issue, as it's been clear from the jump that upgrade availability would depend entirely on the willingness, or lack thereof, of the Windows Mobile software. All we can do is hope that the delay means that Samsung is working hard to include a version of the uber-slick Carousel home screen interface that they're currently including on the European version of the i600. While we're at it, why don't you fix the keyboard issue Sammy…You know, the problem that you can't type more than 1 letter a minute?"

Now you have to admit, rumors lately have been coming true. We heard that the Dash update would be May 4 and indeed it was. Now the Boy Genius is reporting that the Blackjack will get the Windows Mobile 6 update next month. Now besides the OS upgrade, what else would you like to see Samsung add to make the Blackjack even better than it is? Perhaps the Carousel home screen interface mentioned in the article? Anything else?
