Its disappointing that the upgrade is just a face lift and nothing more than that. The upgrade does not contain Office Mobile and the Picsel viewer still does the job. There is no card wheel interface either. The only notable thing is that the performance has improved good bit. The operation is a lot smoother, but other than that, there are no additional features or improvements.

I've been interested in the i600 for a while now but have refrained from buying it because I know it's been out for quite a while and was concerned Samsung had something new coming out. Does this upgrade to WM6 mean that they'll still be supporting the i600 for quite some time before they release new hardware?
