Samsung Blackjack Firmware Update
Looks like Samsung has posted an update for the Blackjack that fixes some roaming issues (especially internationally) and changes branding to AT&T, among other minor changes.
I haven't installed it (yet,) but some have and the only noticeable change is in the icons for some apps.

I anxiously followed those instructions hoping for so much more. The AT&T logo is nice.... but now it doesn't match the Cingular branding on the phone itself
Anyway - the only problem I had was when the phone finally restarted after the update I got "Cannot execute calnot.exe". I pressed OK and carried on... It didn't come up when I rebooted the phone... but does anyone know what this is?
Changes I've noticed: - Startup/Shutdown logos are now AT&T
- Default wallpaper is "AT&T Default"
- "Cingular Music" is now "AT&T Music"
- "Cingular Video" is now "Cellular Video"
- "Cingular Mail" is now "AT&T Mail"
- Default Cingular ringtone is now "at&t tone"
- New wallpaper "Waikiki" - Sailboat with subdued AT&T logo
- New wallpaper "Message in a bottle" - Bottle in sand with subdued AT&T logo
- New wallpaper "Bay bridge" - Bridge with subdued AT&T logo
- New wallpaper "SandGlass" - Hourglass with subdued AT&T logo
- New wallpaper "Tuscany" - Flowers in field with subdued AT&T logo
- When dialing a number - there is an AT&T logo on top

Funny that carrier name on the home screen is still Cingular...lol
Calnot I believe is short for a calendar notification service. If it hasn't come up on subsequent reboots then I wouldn't worry about it

Phew - if it's just a calendar notification then I don't care... I was afraid it was Call Notification... I definitely want to get notified of calls!

I just installed the updated... went smoothly.
Got all my contacts/dates back via ActiveSync, but was a little annoyed that I had to install the Daylight Savings update again, along with setup Pop/Mail accounts, and re-do some hacks.
In less than an hour, everything's about back to normal... I'll fill in any gaps as they come up, but all the important stuff is working fine.

i just did the firmware update and now my bluetooth won't pair with anything. so far this firm update is useless. i was wondering if anyone had the original firmware to re-flash the phone with. or if anyone knows how to fix the problem. thanks for any help.
edit- well i don't know what happened but i had left bluetooth on and a friend of mine turned on my headset and the head set tried to connect with my phone by itself. pretty sweet! i also tried to pair the phone with my gps receiver it worked also. so the bluetooth fixed itself. and i have been getting a better battery life not that i had problems before it just lasts super long now. average day only took me down 75% left. before i was on 50% to 40% on the average day.

Since this update I have copied over cab files for installing programs such as documents to go and I cannot view these files from blackjack. Using both Active sync and the missing sync (MAC Sync program) it shows the file are there but when I go to the files location from the blackjack it doesn't show. Is there some kind of hidden files and folder option in the blackjack the I have to enable to view these files?
