God, what an idiotic bug. Is this a Microsoft issue or a problem with the
Dash's implementation? If it's a Microsoft bug, I can only shake my head....
their QA for the last couple of years has been horrendous (for all their
products).

Looks like I won't be upgrading my BlackJack to WM6 when it comes out.

According to reports, the Blackjack WM6 upgrade from Microsoft/Samsung goes
to Cingular May 26. I think it was stated Cingular has eight weeks to review
before release/reject.

T-Mobile may have been in a marketing bind to release the upgrade early.

I just upgraded to the 'twixt' release on my Blackjack with no problems. I'd
swap the loss of calendar, switching to MS Live, to gain the ability to edit
on the Blackjack. I've tried Orneta Scissors. It just doesn't go far enough.
