Okay, I'm a little confused. Are they saying that there is a new version of the i600 coming out this year? Or are they just refering to the existing i600 with Windows Mobile 2003 on it?

I think they are talking about i600 with WM2003 on it for Sprint PCS.

Though I wish it were an i600 with hardware update, with Bluetooth on it :-)

Ya, that's what I thought at first, but then I began to wonder. They refer to this as a "launch". They aren't launching the i600 with WM2003. It's merely an upgrade.

Maybe they're counting the Sprint release as a launch. :?
