Thinking of buying Palm Treo Pro - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

hi,
Kaiser has been a disaster. I am tired of flashing Roms every other day.
Thinking of buying Treo Pro. I guess its got almost same specs as kaiser.
I just need to know if its being manufactured by those Taiwanese cheaters/Frauds. I don't want to use HTC Hardwares.
What about Imate do they manufacture their own phones?
Any info will help me make my life more simpler.

Tough luck man! Treo Pro is also manufactured by HTC!!!!!
See this - http://www.palminfocenter.com/news/9656/palm-treo-pro-review/
Anyway what is wrong with your Kaiser (or HTC)?? My Kaiser works perfectly fine

Indeed, I don't know what's wrong with the Kaiser. Some people flash repeatedly because they can't live without it and need their fix, but that's in no way necessary... I tried one custom ROM, liked it, and never flashed again in 6 months, and my device works just as I'd expect it to. Period...

HTC happens to make a fair amount of Windows Mobile hardware out there out the market. Sorry to tell you that? Their hardware is actually superb, its the software implementation that you're complaining about(and which I can sympathize to a degree with you). The Android is coming out on T-Mobile relatively soon. You might take a look at that. HTC made still, but the software should be MUCH nicer than Windows Mobile.

I need hardware as good as Nokia

I love Windows mobile.

I have go myself a Treo Pro. I also grew tired of the kaiser issues;
Camera
Video
Keyboard
GPS (on 6.1)
If anyone would like me to compare the two in specific tests, let me know soon before this Tilt is sold.

You don't need working drivers for that video - it's Liverpool - they always play in slow motion anyway so no problems with camera lag
"You don't need working drivers for that video - it's Liverpool - they always play in slow motion anyway so no problems with camera lag "
LOL !!!
Nice
Interestingly that endgadget article has a post that this phone does not actually run Windows Mobile... but some sort of rip-off.
Other sites that sell the device don't state WM6 (or any version) on their features list.
Does M$ charge alot for putting WM on a device? If so that could be one reason for the low price.
Plus it only has a 30 day warranty, I believe the tilt has a 1 year(?)

Uses "some sort of Windows Mobile operating system". The real one is already a buggy mess, go figure that one...LOL
I bet it will perform better than the Kaiser, and I'm not kidding (sadly).
It will probably perform better than the Kaiser because it is using a basic OS that is more like a calculator than a Windows Mobile.
So, it probably boots up in 5 seconds, switches apps in a fraction.
But it also probably doesn't have TouchFlo, PIE, or many of the other features that make the Kaiser/Tilt nice.
It is like any of the other numerous phones out there on the market (like from Verizon) that have a slide out keyboard with a proprietary OS.
This of course is assuming the statements above about it not being WM6 are true. If it indeed runs WM6 then I am sure the performance will be equivalent to the Kaiser.

board with my tilt

Well it's time to start to look for something new... i am getting board with my tilt.....what's new and cool comming out?
Sony Experia x1... September.
Did you Mean...

I think he meant Bord, which is the Swedish cousin of El Borg.
Yukka yukka.
So in all seriousness, the Kaiser is slow. Really slow. Like, too much software for too little processing power. I'm coming from a Treo 650, which did exactly what I wanted it to at lightning speed.
I'm seriously considering returning my Tilt and getting a 3g Steve Jobs Special or another Palm PDA.
I went from Palm Pilot -> Kyocera 6035 -> Treo 650 -> Kaiser. So far, I feel like the Kaiser impedes rather than enables my daily productivity.
Bleh.

The Tilt is a great phone, what else do you need?
If you want something exciting why don't you pickup a new iPhone 3G? Seems to have a lot going for it..

right now, I'm thinking I need more speed. The Tilt is very very slow compared to my Treo 650, even without overclocking the processor.
Also, the interface is more laptop PC, less cell phone. Five+ clicks per basic task = 4 too many. It's a mouse-and keyboard like interface.
Plus, Outlook Mobile is lame.
I dunno, I still have it and am flashing away to try and improve things. I like having control over my phone's software, hardware and OS, but I don't like having it be agonizingly slow.
-Mod
Mod'em is right about having extreme control over the hardware/software but it being just toooooo daaaaaang slooooooow.
I also firmly believe this is why I'm most definitely waiting for the next gen powered devices (UMPC's/MID's). These are most likely:
-Intel ATOM powered devices (X86 platform)
-NVIDIA Tegra powered devices (can you say 720p H.264 with the CPU/GPU/Chipset only taking up 1.3watts!).
But really, the hardware you see in the videos at the link below almost made me cry! Do yourself a favor and check them out!
http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/03/nvidia-shows-off-tegra-on-video/2
Those videos show what I've been looking for in my mobile device. I think a Tegra chipset is in my future and going to be the device that takes me away from my tilt.

Can you post some larger pics? I can hardly see these.
ive been researching this phone the past couple days, and im highly interested in upgrading from my dash to the kaiser. im in the market for a new smartphone a) cause i am bored with my dash, done everything ive wanted to it and b) its slow. i have a low budget, id say 300 tops and everywhere ive looked to buy this phone is at least 400. ive tried lookin for promo codes and all that fun stuff, nothin. i dont want to buy one off ebay cause you never know what youre gettin off there. I have t-mobile and i dont know wether to get this or wait to get the diamond/touch pro... bottom line is i like this phone alot and im ready for a new one...
if i could have waited, i would get the touch pro..
at least from what i think i know
still avalible?
Is the phone still avalible? What would be a reasonable offer at this time if so?
Thanks,
Loretta

what have you upgraded to?

my kaiser is having problems the keys are getting worn out and i think it is time for a new phone. so my question is what phone have you bought next after the kaiser?
bump anybody?
I'll bite
I got the TP2 yesterday and love it

I still have my Kaiser

Cool. So just keep the kaiser and give me the TP2.
I am waiting for the next Windows Mobile 7 released
At that time, probably TEGRA or SnapDragon phones will become broadly available !
You know, (my) the dream phone, TEGRA/SnapDragon, 4" (or at least 3.5") screen, thin, superb battery .... Windows Mobile 7.
I am pretty much happy with current Kaiser, WinMo 6.1 ... at least it is working fine .. internet browsing via opera-mini (love it!) ... GPS via TomTom ...
I first upgraded to a Fuze... Went back to the Tilt... Then I upgraded to the Touch Cruise *FM Radio is cool... but went back to the tilt... Now I upgraded to the LG Incite.. and again... Went back to the Tilt.. .I really think I would LOVE the TP2.. but..uhhh.. I am poor after buying a Fuze, Touch Cruise, and a LG Incite... lol I still have the Incite if anyone is wants to buy it.. Liike New, Unlocked, and custom 6.1 rom installed..
I upgraded to the Fuze and haven't really looked back. The TP2 does look nice, but I doubt I'll have money to buy it since I won't qualify for an upgrade.
I still have my Tilt that I use as a backup and flashed WM6.5 on it. If I'm going somewhere that something could happen to my Fuze, I'll bring my Tilt instead.
I do wish we could get aGPS working on the Tilt like it does on the Fuze now, but even with the registry settings I think we would need an updated radio that recognizes the commands.

upgrade from Kaiser to what?

Hi,
Im very interested to see what current Kaiser users are planning to up grade to?
I almost bought the Blackstone but the hardware keys prove very valueable with java apps. Not to mention that the jog dial is also very useful.
Any projected handsets that HTC will release that support dual sim, and maintain the hardware buttons similar to the Kaiser?
Thanks
I'm in the same boat, except I also have a secondary desire..... The Pre. But I don't plan on changing from AT&T so..... we'll see. I haven't heard anything concrete in that regard except for a weak rumor that a Centro-like WebOS might be coming to AT&T which I don't care about.
So I'm eyeballing the "Tilt 2" but I'm with you in that I REALLY like having hardware buttons, losing the 5-way controller blows..
Touch Pro 2 brah!!!!!

I only miss the Camera button, the scroll wheel, an ummmmm the button above the scroll wheel, the Windows button, the left/right softkey buttons.
the Center button, and the 4way Dpad.
Not to mention I have to use the Left Hand!!!!
I cant open the slider with just left hand.. lolz.. i guess i need to switch the fapping hand.
But I really like the new TP2 because of the real estate on the screen.
Not to mention the 3G connection... (which doesn't work I my room cuz of weak signal, so Edge only) Oh and the keyboard is ALOT better (both hardware and on-screen)
It is definitely worth the purchase for me. (half the price of the unlocked Kaiser, duh!)
blackstone for me...
i have the kaiser for nearly ... past 2 yrs.... really enjoyed using phone.. and still do...but....about 4 months back ..upgraded to blackstone and in beginning ..bit upset with some missing issues...as you ,also named..jog dial... hardware buttons....... also some software ...etc ..but.....
after tweaking this and that... you get so use to the blackstone (and screen ) that the missing issues..(jog dial....hardware buttons..)becomes a very.. very small issue ... the blackstone ..to me is... no 1.. .!!!
working very... very smoothly..!!!!
..but yes..in beginning (for 1 month ) after upgrading i did miss the kaiser eperience...but hey...
... now i have the pleasure in having both phones ( one old .. but still good and the other one ..blackstone.... my favorite...
my vote ..blackstone..
