Has anyone heard any news if we will see a upgrade to 6.1?

Posted by: Kevad007

Yes, it was announced by the CEO of Microsoft at the CTIA Tradeshow keynote speech in October that the BJII will support a new Microsoft feature to be used by Corp. IT departments but that it will require an upgraded Windows Mobile 6 that will be applied through the existing built-in WM6 upgrade feature by late Q1 or in Q2, 2008. He specifically showed the BJII phone and said it is the 1st Smartphone that is ready to be upgraded once the software is finalized. Its pretty neat what it can do based on demos done on stage I saw, but It will cost Corps. some big bucks no doubt.

Don't hold your breath. I hope I am wrong, but if the WM6 update for the BJI is any barometer, it might take longer than it should.
