We’re not sure how official this is, but Mobiledia claims the Samsung i617 is the Blackjack 2. It’s likely, since it looks just like the Blackjack 1, but runs Windows Mobile 6, has a 2-megapixel camera, and features 3G HSDPA. We’re not sure whether the introduction of the BJ2 means the promised Windows Mobile 6 upgrade for the BJ1 is on hold, but we’ll see once AT&T or Samsung makes an official announcement some time in Q4 2007.

Nothing’s certain yet, but rumor has it the BlackJack won’t be getting a Windows Mobile 6 update until some time after June. AT&T users were probably counting on somewhat of an earlier update, seeing as T-Mobile’s Dash already got theirs last week, but no such luck (supposedly) for now. Of course, this is from unofficial sources, so you may have better luck once AT&T actually makes an announcement for real. – Jason Chen
