AT&T Making Samsung i788 The BlackJack 3?

"Throw this one in your "hopes and dreams" stack friends, but the web's buzzing with rumors of the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional-powered Samsung i788 as AT&T's BlackJack 3. This new and freshly rumored device apparently will pack the 3G frequencies that the Samsung i780 doesn't have, stylus, optical touchpad, WiFi, HSDPA, GPS, and almost certainly be devoid of any type of forward-facing camera. Of course, all this is guesswork, and features could disappear -- bye bye, WiFi, GPS? -- or be added if and when it comes to market."
I'm not a huge fan of the BlackJack series, but that doesn't mean others aren't psyched to see the line continue (Sorta like the Treo line was before Palm decided they wanted to make theirs look more like the BlackJack line...). Anyway, the stats look pretty nice and I really like the addition of the touch screen. Having a BlackJack 3 out so soon after the release of the BlackJack 2 (Just under a year maybe), would be pretty sweet. Anyone drooling out there?
