Question on Handhelds:

More specifically, will Samsung be releasing the SGH-i780 with WM 6.1 Pro sometime in the future?

If so, should i buy the i780 now or wait until it is updated with WM 6.1 Pro?

Answer:

Technically, all devices which are capable of running Windows Mobile (WM) 6 are capable of running WM6.1. Whether or not you actually get an upgrade depends on whether the company wants to provide one.

In your case, Samsung has already announced that it will be providing an update to WM6.1 for the Samsung i780. This is slated for an October release.

As for whether you should buy now or wait for the update--that's entirely up to you. If you do wait for the updated one, the advantage is that you won't have to do the update manually later on.

Note that all is not milk-and-honey in the land of 6.1.
