Combine that with the persistent rumors of a BlackJack II in the works, the fact that the popular BlackJack (whose model number is i607, coincidentally) is getting a little long in the tooth, and AT&amp;T devices from Samsung typically end in &quot;7,&quot; and, well, you can pretty much figure out the rest.&quot;</em></p><p><img alt="" border="0" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/spt/auto/1191934799.usr3.jpg" /></p><p>The FCC has proven time and time again to be a great source of information about upcoming devices. You can check out the documents for yourself <a href="https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&amp;RequestTimeout=500&amp;calledFromFrame=N&amp;application_id=713001&amp;fcc_id='A3LSGHI617'">here</a>.&nbsp;I wonder what features would be improved or added in version 2 of this hit Smartphone.&nbsp; I would like to see a faster processor, more RAM, and a GPS built-in.&nbsp; Maybe even WiFi too, but that's not too important for me.&nbsp; What would you like to see changed or added in the next release?</p>

1. Fix the Bluetooth implementation
2. Faster processor
3. Better battery life (may fly in the face of #2!)
4. GPS
5. Let me use the same accessories and batteries!!!

I agree that WiFi is really not that big of a deal with HSDPA - plus that is a battery pig....

Let's hope this puppy hits in the next few months. I'm sure it is too much to wish for to hope for an XMas release...........
