We're not at liberty to say how, but we acquired some exclusive footage of Samsung's new Ultra Messaging device, which is going to be hitting Asian shelves in short order. What's so special about this particular brand of i600? Check out the interface. We've seen some future builds of Windows Mobile beyond the now-current 6.0, and this is starting to look very familiar. If this is where WinMo's headed, sign us up -- let's just hope all the stuff behind the home screen gets cleaned up this nice, yeah? Don't be surprised if at some point the Samsung Ultra Messaging (or at least its UI) starts to to head westward across the globe.
Check out the gallery, or check out the video, whatever you like. Player and downloads after the break.

Does this mean you could load his UI on current Blackjacks?
In theory, yes (on a BlackJack with WM6, that is). When someone hacks this up to work on WM6 I think everyone should be able to use it, nothing technically binding this to the Ultra Messaging.
oh yes baby this is Photon?
Well thats good. Now all I need is a Blackjack with WM6. What are the chances Cingular offering free upgrades for a recent purchase?
where's the play button in the video?? seem to me i cant find it...
More info on this device at http://aving.net/usa/news/default.asp?mode=read&c_num=30033&C_Code=01&mn_name=news.
Damn!, it has WiFi, I'm totally sold to this beauty ;)
I'm totally calling Bob Saget.
Oh yeah, this looks sweet as hell.
that was not windows mobile 6. that was windows mobile 5. i can tell because when you look at the soft keys, you can see a white stripe above start and the other soft key. that is only in wm5. i have wm6 on a 8125 and it does not have that stripe, nor do any wm6 standard screenshots i have seen. that is just a nice samsung designed home screen.
put this on something as powerful as the new Ultimate series coming out in a much sexier package, and I will be incredibly happy
Am I the only one who thinks this UI looks familiar to the Windows Media Center UI in Vista?
Nice :)...
Yeah, this looks like Photon.
I can't wait for HTC's first Photon device. >_
Any more info about this interface?? Not sure that it is photon. Maybe a custom Samsung interface on top of WM5/6 ?
No, this isn't Photon, but it is Photon-esque, as Ryan Block mentions. The interface in Photon is designed to cut out stylus use as much as possible, making it easier to use with one hand.
Very sexy my only complaint is... why only max 10 favorite contacts? maybe i want 15?
Let's all call Bob Saget, who apparently lives in Chicago!
