The answer is:

* AT&T Tilt (and other HTC Kaiser phones obviously) !!!!!!
* AT&T Blackjack II

How do we know it? Because Microsoft hints at it HERE by saying:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobiledevicemanager/default.mspx

Find the phones

Currently, the following devices will receive a software update that allows them to work with System Center Mobile Device Manager:

* AT&T Tilt
* AT&T Blackjack II

And more devices to come

While having ability to support "System Center Mobile Device Manager" is not the same as "Windows Mobile upgrade in all areas", at Mobius 2007 event Microsoft has announced that next major upgrade (updated?) to Windows Mobile is coming Q1 2008 what is exactly the same (or similar) time that this one mentioned by Microsoft HERE as a release date of devices and upgrades with support for this device manager.

In other words: Microsoft together with new Windows Mobile 6 with support for device manager server product, will roll out new improvements and features also in area of user interface! The possible version name for this upgrade will be Windows Mobile 6.1 or Windows Mobile 6 Second Edition but for sure it is not yet Windows Mobile 7 (code name "Photon") because it looks like Photon has been postponed till 2009 as commercial release date (it may go to manufacturers by the end of 2008).

If Microsoft is using the Kaiser for their internal WM6 development, we can always hope that they have some constructive critisism to pass back to HTC regarding the current inefficient device drivers driving the MSM 7200 hardware.
