Was having problems downloading. Figured I'd try again this week. It's gone now. So much for "till Feb. 28th"

When I posted this article this morning it definitely was for WM6. Just for kicks, I even downloaded the EXE (though I don't have an 8525). The page I saw was slightly different than what is up there now, showing a dark blue WM6 desktop, and the EXE I downloaded was not the same as what is currently up there. FYI, I just found a link a few minutes ago on Cingular's site referencing this as well: http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&thread.id=62774 Very strange!
