Guest whoster69 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I always thought the proc was used in most of the video playback but my Wizard(overclocked) plays my .wmv's back better than my 8525. So that must not be the case. I too would be curiousl what video chip is used in the Kaiser. If in fact it matters... That's kind of why I asked the question the way I did, because one of the phones I'm considering, the HTC X7501 has a video card/chip component. I don't know if others do or not, but I'm curious...

Guest gregersdk Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Slightly off track, but does anyone know how long it usually takes for companies (particularly Brodit) to make holders for new phones such as the Kaiser? My contract is up in about a months time, but i don't really want to upgrade until I can mount the phone nicely for sat nav etc. Cheers. I've read that HTC and Brodit develop holders to HTC phones together, so Brodit might (probably) release holders the day that Kaiser goes on sale... I even think Brodit have or have had a HTC Kaiser for developing the holder already... Sorry about the bad language, but I'm not British...

Don't ever apologise for your English, it's better than my Danish for sure :) It would seem that there's quite a few pre-production Kaisers floating about, for sure most of them will have gone to networks to allow for software customisation but it seems reasonable that some will have gone to the major accessory producers. Why release a device without any 3rd party support when people may make their purchase decisions based on the presence of a particular add-on?

Guest GordonTGopher Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Some (e.g. http://proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=...amp;t_mode=cat) have accesories out already, not sure about brodit, but I'm sure it won't be long. Gordon They have a part number so they shouldn't be too long after the phone is released: http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=8019 Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'll have a good play with CorePlayer / TCPMP on it when I get home! What's the best way to give it a real good test? Brodit are generally very quick! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Here is the link for the samples which people usaually used for Benchmark http://picard.exceed.hu/samples/ It is good to test the CPU using the file RL_XQ_640x480_1500_128.avi to test it. This is the 640 x 480 Matrix Reload Trialer.

Guest Blakey Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Sorry for the numptie question, but will I be able to use my huge collection of standard mini usb chargers to charge this phone (i.e. car charger, USB travel charger, standard wall socket charger, etc) ? Looking at the propritary hole it would appear that a standard mini usb plug should fit in it but I'm not certain about that. Can anyone say for sure? One of the best things about mini usb is that it is standard and I don't need to keep rebuying a huge selection of chargers and stuff when I buy a new phone. If I need to that instantly adds shed loads of cash to the cost of the phone which is a big bad mark against it. Thanks! Blakey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr.Clark Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Also I've been reading that the iPhone screen is virtually unscratchable. Can we get this on our Winmo phones? I have to say, the only thing the iPhone seems to have over WM devices is the glass screen. :) Well, that and the touchy-feely interface thing. But integrated GPS, fold out keyboard and full Exchange sells me on the Kaiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention, the iPhone has no voice dialing capability which puts a damper on touchy for me, but it does have a pretty face! Kaiser seems perfect for me...

Kaiser seems perfect for me... And you can't just whack a memory card into a PC, copy a whole bunch of files onto it then stick that in your Kaiser. You don't really need ActiveSync at all if you've got access to an Exchange server set up for wireless access. Plus that backs up your contacts too. Score! And if what I've been reading about WM6 and having a left-handed option is true, bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest argh Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 nooooo! i suggest you inform ateksoft about this. however since the kaiser is not out yet they may not look into it right away. do u think its just wm6 its not compatible with? or have you tried it on wm6 devies already? Not sure about the Kaiser, but CoolCamera didn't really improve performance for the Hermes. The webcam is useful though. CoolCamera has to be updated for each device that is released, afaik. The Hermes update took a few months to become stable and last I checked still didn't support the flash (not that it's very useful). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Syphon Filter Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Any more information on a UK release date (on T-Mobile) or as HTC Kaiser? I am dying to get one of these. What I am thinking of doing is, as I like the black one, getting an Ameo on Tmobile, flogging that on ebay and then buying HTC branded Kaiser...

Guest gregersdk Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I just thought it would be the thing for HTC Kaiser fans, that's all... :) But I haven't understood, if it is possible to use the UMTS camera as a webcam as well.. Can you do that if installing CoolCamera or what was that? If it is possible to use it as a webcam for your computer? gregersdk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shanedean Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Slightly OT but is there any way that us Hermes/TyTn/SPV3100 users can get the little ding-dong sound when we open/close the keyboard? Is it down to the mechanics of the device that means we can't? I appreciate it wiould probably become a bit annoying but could be fun for a while... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
