No, I thought it would never come out. Oh, you’re serious?!?! http://www.monicaadjemian.com/mofomon/2008/03/11/wm6-for-my-blackjack-no-i-thought-it-would-never-come-out-oh-youre-serious/ http://www.monicaadjemian.com/mofomon/2008/03/11/wm6-for-my-blackjack-no-i-thought-it-would-never-come-out-oh-youre-serious/#comments Wed, 12 Mar 2008 04:55:43 +0000 mofomon http://www.monicaadjemian.com/mofomon/2008/03/11/wm6-for-my-blackjack-no-i-thought-it-would-never-come-out-oh-youre-serious/ That’s right, while I was running like mad trying to meet deadlines for the last month, WM6 was FINALLY released for the Samsung Blackjack.  What are you waiting for?  Go install it!

Don’t forget, this will wipe your phone, so be sure to back everything up.  Anyone have a copy of Sprite Backup I can use?

The way it works is you text “GIFT” to 7230 and then send you a link where you can get the ringtones and game. The Link seems to just be http://www.attfreetone.com/ so if you want to save yourself a text I think you can just directly go to the URL.

Enjoy your free stuff!

Here is what the post said:

“Customers who purchased the Samsung BlackJack i607 which was manufactured during the
months of November 2006 – February 2007 may find they are experiencing dropped calls
or poor signal reception. After extensive testing by Samsung and AT&T they have
found some internal components are wearing over time and causing the antennae
connection to loosen causing poor signal and dropped calls.

Samsung has implemented some design changes to fix these issues: they changed a
coating within the device back in February which improved RF and have made several
hardware changes recently to improve the reception even more. There have been no
issues with call performance with all new hardware manufactured from March 2007
forward.

Customers who have purchased the Samsung BlackJack i607 and are affected by the
“dropped call” scenario are advised to call the Exchange  By Mail”

Enjoy your newer Blackjack!

Maybe we should take comfort in the fact that it was released for one phone yesterday and thus AT&T must be making progress.

I’m anxiously awaiting our upgrade release.  Hopefully it will come soon.

(saves battery life if you’re not on 3G)

You can get into the admin settings etc with the following code:
*#1546792*#
Menu:
1 Version
2 Preconfiguration
3 Network and Call settings
4 Internal

Two of the menus require a password, it is *#81230*#

Being obsessed with computers and gadgets I’m constantly messing around with my blackjack trying to customize it more and more. This translates into “I break it a lot and then have to fix what I did wrong,” so I’ve put together a list of resources that I use to customize my blackjack, stay up to date on news for, and then fix my blackjack when my customizations go awfully wrong.

Good luck!

In the meanwhile, since we won’t be getting wm6 until mid August to early September, I’ve been trying to make the most of what i do have. Went ahead and checked out the new release of Yahoo! Go for the Samsung Blackjack. This is basically just mobile Yahoo, has some neat features, but runs a bit slow. I’m assuming that may improve since this is just a beta release. Try it out, let me know what you think. Also, here is a link for those who are courageous enough to try out the leaked wm6 ROM for the Blackjack. Enjoy! (yes it links to the download for wm6).

Cingular/AT&T originally delayed the update to Q3 and now I’m hearing “later this summer.” I’m exciting…and I’m waiting. Has anyone heard anything new?

Here is the news I’m working off of:
