I've been reading this stuff all week, and I just had to comment...
We've had these in at our store for a week. It is *NOT* running WinMo 6.1; it's the same ole' 6.0 that's been on the Dash for well over a year now. The processor is the same. The internal memory is the same. The only real difference is that it's black (and the area where it was formerly silver is now rubberized, much like the rest), and the speaker-grill has been re-designed.
The only other difference, if you want to call it that, is that it comes preloaded with the latest software fixes available (the alarm bug, for example).
But seriously...if you have one on your wish-list, don't buy it if you really think it's got 6.1 on it. It doesn't. Really.
