Thanks for keeping us posted!
I will make sure to keep a close eye on this thread

Gotta rename thread to "Good Buy Kaiser"

Mine is on order already, expecting an arrival of mid to late August. £525 GBP. Gotta raise some money now...anyone want a faulty Kaiser??!!!

Why does everyone seem to announce they're departure with the Kaiser?
See, I would get a Touch Pro too, but :
525 Pounds = 1 045 USD.

NOT only the cost, but what major functionality differences are there ( other than the D3D )? Not many i know of. It is a bit sexier though...... ill wait a year after its release when the prices are reasonable, or hang onto my Tilt until ATT rolls out 4G.... since i see no major technological advantages at this point......

i love my tilt, but hey if att is getting the touch pro, then kaiser get out the way and touch pro here i come, by the way matmaneyre, ill take your faulty kaiser

Sorry, just checked back on this post. Sold my faulty kaiser on ebay for £195. Well impressed. That's gone towards my Touch Pro. Well pleased with it btw. Its excellent so far. Had it since August 15th.
Oh and announcing departure from the Kaiser is like saying good riddance to a huge disappointment from day one, what with video driver issues and all the other problems I had with mine.

Is the touch pro the one where they drop the WiFi feature?

The Touch Pro does have wifi.

I think the tilt came out around March 07? for at&t...I waited until Oct 07 to get it, price came down, early adopters worked out the kinks etc. I'll hang onto my tilt until the touch pro has been out a little while..and to let the price come down after the holidays. Looks like a great device, but I'm not in THAT much of a hurry

oh, does this mean no more hergila?

Allot of you might not know this but they can upgrade you well before your contract is up. I am getting the kaiser cough cough I mean tilt cough cough I mean 8925 LOL hopefully when it hits the shelves maybe even sooner but it definitely looks like it brings allot to the table.
Is this phone thinner than the TyTn 1?
That would be the only thing that would make me even consider changing.
Think it's marginally thinner. Only by a few mm.
k-c
has anyone else noticed that the Sliding keyboard opens the other way than the Hermes??? the D pad is on the left, rather than the right! personally that will take me some getting used to playing Snes will be awkward to begin with! it makes the device look weird as its on the other side
Old news...
Seen it already.
Gears has had the review up for a week or so now.
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/article727.html
Bloomin' nice piece of kit though...
Or have a look-see direct... http://tytnseries.htc.com/
Most importantly, what nice apps might trickle over to our Tytn 1... ;-) Isn't this baby supposed to have touchflo, business card scanner etc....
looks like its a bit more advanced than Announced..

Does anyone have any additional info on the battery life? Seems like it will take a beating with GPS and everything else running...
That being said...I can't wait to get my hands on one

I cant find a decent SNES emu for the hermes.. and also, how are u playing it using the touch screen?
i have PocketSNES 1.12.200 and it runs well, and i use the hardware buttons; Email for jump, Dpad for move ... my point in my post was that i have the DPad on the Right, whereas onthe Kaiser the Dpad is on the Left
I have a good friend that works at an att store and he told me that he actually got a chance to play with it in his meeting with the htc reps. He said it felt pretty solid physical, and software wise! He also said it could be out as soon as sometime sept and the only thing that htc will be dismissing in this unit is the IR! but who uses that anyways right lol! Oh yeah and he also said the unit he played with also had the front cam, so its quit possible att might be intorducing video calling for this unit!

Get your friend to dump that rom and get it to our talented chefs...
Trust me, it would be a waste even if he had that kinda access to the the phone, I'm the one that hip him to the 8525's, for a min he thought blackberry's and the iphone was the ****, plus hes has no idea about rom dumping, I tried to introduce him to this site and got all confused with the info lol! sorry!
Looks great, but the GPS, camera and tilting screen isn't enough to get me to upgrade just yet. I'll wait till the TyTN III
dang I didn't realize the GBP to Dollar ratio till I saw some of the european pre-order cheapness....then converted it to USD

If Money was No Object -- which HTC phone would you choose???

I am leaning toward the HTC Touch Cruise. I cannot afford it but I was checking out this phone and wow its nice.
Not unhappy with my wing but been looking at other phones today.

Checked out the X1. I still like the HTC Touch Cruise better. No sliding keyboard.
Just my Opinion.
X1 all the way!
wow.. the Xperia x1 looks amazing!!! does anyone know the release date here in America? this is probably going to be my next phone.
which phone?
If the Xperia X1 lives up to the specs I have seen that would be my choice. If not (money no object) I think the Athena. But I would have to take my time and try different devices. I would likely have a larger device (Athena or Imate 7150 or 9502) for the power when I have the storage space to carry it, with a smaller device for everyday carry.

According to Engadgetmobile the X1 will be available during the second half of 2008. http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/sonyericsson-xperia-x1-qwerty-with-windows-mobile/.
For now, I'd go with the HTC Kaiser. I think it's a solid device. I got mines a few weeks ago and loving it. I already flashed it several times with dutty's roms, even switched carriers (tmobile to AT&T) because I was fed up with the mms issues I was having with the 6.1 roms for my herald. Since I switched carriers, I haven't experienced no more mms problems, and enjoy 3g connection, which is much faster than tmobile's edge. Just my two cents
Like everyone else has said, the X1.
Why? Basically, better features, 400MHz, all the good stuff, ya heard? lol
One thing in particular...I heard (actual read, rumors maybe?) is that this phone is going to sell for about $300-400. Do you have any idea how great that sounds? It's even cheaper than the iPhone, but let's not get my hopes up.

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, that was just a stupid post I put earlier about the phone "going to [be] sold for about $300-400."

BUt idon´t like the dpad and joystick.. that really looks awful!!
but the system features are great..
I want to buy HTC X7510(16GB flash,WM6.1,128MB RAM). But, it is too expensive! I m now going to for cheaper ipaq 210. I'm deconverging. I'll be using herald as my phone but for pocket pc related tasks, I'll have the mighty ipaq for those purposes. And since herald will be there with me always, I'll have a 'backup' pocket pc too

Unlocked Tytn II for Sale with Accessories $200

I have an unlocked TytnII for sale. It is in great shape but does seem to have the backlight bug. I have always managed it with S2U2. Great for anyone who loves flashing or cooking. I moved on to the touch pro so this needs a new home.
Includes box-wall charger-usb cable-extra battery-wall/usb charger for battery-seidio holster-seidio innocase
Accessories alone are worth it! $200 plus shipping.
Sorry....that is $200US + shipping. I am in Arizona and would prefer shipping to the US as shipping international is cost prohibitive. However if you want to pick up the cost of international shipping we can discuss!
Let me know,
Josh

Would that be 200 New Zealand Dollars? It would help your chances of selling it if you tell us where you are (and complete your forum profile for country/network while you're at it). Different countries have different wall jacks/mains voltages and network types. It's essential info missing off your ad.

Luckily for me (and unfortunately for you), 3 hours of work later and three trips to the hardware store for tools I got my Tilt working like brand new.

Get Diamond or wait for Diamond 2??

I am in search of a new phone for Sprint. I have the Titan (Mogul) and want to upgrade. Not sure how long before the Diamond 2 will be available for Sprint. Any suggestions?
I checked with Sprints CSR's but they said they have not heard of it
wait for it
well in europe the diamond2 is launching april or may, as far as i have been told. but since you use sprint, i guess you are from USA right? and its said that USA would not get it until Q3 or Q4 of 2009. with that said i would wait no matter what, unless you really hate your titan. because diamond is good but diamond2 is for sure worth the wait
Well, Q3 or Q4, thats towards the end of the year. The titan is falling apart, i took it to get serviced and they charged $100, so i figured i might as well upgrade since i am due and i can get the Diamond for $199. Not sure what the Diamond2 is going to cost. Any word out?
If it comes out end of this year, i am sure I will be due for an upgrade by Q1 next year and by then they will have fixed all the ROM issues and bugs"? Ideas?
I would suggest not waiting for it as it might take forever or never to get to you particular cell phone provider. The Diamond thanks to this forum is great. As far as price is concern...based on speculation that the specs. are pretty much identical to the HTC HD, expect the price to be high....
So affordability might be an issue regarding this decision as well.
Thats exactly what i was thinking. not sure how long before Sprint actually starts to have them available on their network. Even if they have it end of this year for Christmas, it will take a few months for the price to be reduced and at that time i will be eligible for an upgrade to another phone by late Q1.
What is the best ROM to have on the diamond and what suggestions do you all recommend once i receive it? I am sure i have lots of read on this site to make the most of the Diamond, but any quick suggestions?
How is the texting on it, easy to use? i am used to the full keyboard from titan.
I will send you my thoughts / recommendations in your PM box....check there
thanks for your recommendation. i will place the order today for the Diamond. Any links you all want to recommend me to so that i can view it and learn more about the Diamond before it arrives?.
for me, the diamond2 getting bigger is a big reason why i didn't wait for it. and there's no guarantee that sprint will even carry the diamond2 anyway and as others have said it'll probably be q409 before they have it at all.

but the music audio quality of the Diamond is way worse than the Touch HD one right? I'm asking because I'm indecisive between the two for months now :/
Sprint being CDMA not GSM will likely take longer before carying it them people are estimating.. I would guess mid 2010 if ever & By then if they jump on the LTE train with the pther 3 carriers they may not be all that inclined to cary a high end device that they will have to replace so soon.. & if there not jumping on the LTE train then there going to be suffering BADLY network wise & You would be better off moving elsewhere..

Huawei Mate 20 pro Canadian discussion thread

This is looking to be an epic phone guys. ??? Mine is already pre-ordered since this morning. Who else is getting this bad boy? What feature's got you most excited?
I'm getting it! Pre-ordering tomorrow through Bell. I'm excited about everything to be honest. I've been strictly with LG the past few years and have been making a ton of themes for it so I'm looking forward to a completely new device and experience...and of course to theme it!
But yeah for exciting features I'd have to say the camera is right up there with the in screen fingerprint scanner. I'm reading conflicting reports though about the ir feature. Some say it works as an it blaster to control a tv and some say it doesn't and just does the facial recognition thing. If it does do the tv function then that will also be something I love!

Mark Bencze in the house! Now you got me even more excited. Yeah man I remember rocking your themes on my LG G7 thinq which was a low key awesome phone btw. But yeah prepare to be amazed if the mate 20 is better than the p20 were in for a treat. I remember finishing work at 5 with 86% battery. That phone was beast. Anyway you give me even more reason to be looking forward to that phone. I always have more than one device so let me know if you need a tester. ?
I called Bell today and they aren't doing pre-orders quite yet. Hopefully they do soon so I can get everything taken care of.
Looks like we're the only 2 Canadians getting this phone[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I pre-ordered mine yesterday from Rogers! Do you know if there's a case in the box and where to find the official Huawei case??
Thanks!
Hola
I am on the fence. Given the screen issues that are reported I want to see what batches we get in Canada. Plus lack of getting bootloader unlock (though not a must have) may be the deal-breaker for me... I wonder if the prices on 2 year contracts will be good on Black Friday.
I am also about to order this phone from Fido, however, only concern is the screen.
Not sure how warranty would work, i want to buy the phone (full price).

So far, all the unboxing videos showed an included transparent case. So I would say yes but I ordered one from Amazon just in case. No pun intended. As far as the official ones, did you try Huawei's website?

Those are solid points. As far as the screen issue goes well you have 15 days to return or exchange the phone. If you wait you miss out on the free Huawei watch 2 (if that matters to you.

I pre-ordered mine on the 26th from Rogers, and just called in today to get an update. Nothing in the system yet, but hopefully they're still ready to deliver on the 7th/8th.
I asked what the return policy was, and she did mention I have the 15 days if I change my mind. I recommend all of you to use it like crazy to detect any of the green screen issues early on!
Let's all keep each other posted on when we receive it and if we notice any issues.
Looks like no freebies from Bell which really bothers me. They're the only ones not offering anything when you pre-order. I'm still grabbing one but I'm disappointed they're not offering anything.

bell I was told from a store manager at bell that there was going to be a watch included with a huawei product because my wife was going to get a P20 pro. Wait till the 8th and see what they say. I was also promised a loyalty deal but with their track record I wouldn't expect much

Yeah I called a Bell world store and was told the same thing. They said it's for new activations only though aka 2 year deal and I'm buying mine outright so I likely won't get it unless I get lucky. Fingers crossed. Thursday morning I'm grabbing it!
