Guest Shuflie Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I've just read on one local (czech) forum that there is already Kaiser Dummy phone in T-Mobile shop! Yeah, it's coming ! Was that the HTC or T-Mobile variant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 It's all personal opinion of course but... 1. the touch 6 2. the kaiser 9.5 3. the vario 2 7.5 4. the trinity 7.5 Paul if you were to score a handset with marks out of 100, how would you score, 1. the touch 2. the kaiser 3. the vario 2 4. the trinity i'll be getting one of these, but i cant make up my mind wether i'm going to wait any longer for the kaiser! :P :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I haven't had a chance to read through this whole thread but had a question. can you flip up the screen without it being slid out? and/or slide out flip up and then slide closed again with the screen still up? Seems like itd be off balance with the screen up while slid, is that true? How about a picture from opposite the screen with the flip up (looking at the flip mechanism)? must be more patient....ME WANT! You have to slide then tilt, balance isn't a problem as the bulk of the weight is in the base. I've not heard anything about a CDMA version per se... the Mogul is pretty close really, so i'd expect a CDMA variant to innovate a bit more than the tilting screen and GPS.

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 First topic update will happen as soon as I get the ROM i've been waiting on for quite a lil while now :) If it doesn't materialise soon, i'll update at the end of this week. P Have I missed something or did Paul update the first topic with more review information? Looks exactly as it did almost a month ago even down to the pre-release ROM that didn't do the GPS any good and the plastic back instead of the more finalised rubber back. He has added a few updates along the way in the topic but not actually in the first post which is the "the first release of the review". Oh, and as others have pointed out it is a slide then tilt, it even get a mention in the review the exact phrase being "After sliding the screen open, it can be tilted upwards" which I would read as you need to slide the screen open before you can tilt it.

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 It holds up just fine :) P paul, when the screen is tilted up and you tap the screen with the stylus, does it just tilt back down? does the screen hold up well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hi Paul and everyone :) . Was the picture of the Kaiser running TomTom removed? I can't seem to find it here. It wasn't, but somehow it got b0rked. I think I still have it somewhere, i'll check! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Current discussions are based around handset only, but there's no reason we can't include the Expansys contract bundles in the offer. P I'm watching... :P Are you planning on doing just the handset on its own, or is there going to be any reduced-price handsets bundled with contracts? I want the Kaiser, but not enough to pay £400 for it up-front... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 - are there more screens with htc custom design (others than camera- and today-screen)? Er, the Comm Manager is skinned, that's pretty much it. The Today screen plugin is the most significant departure from HTC devices of old. - how does the tomtom-screen look like (i did no find the mentioned screen in this thread and i already have tt navigator 6, which i could use)? I'm using my copy of TT6. - can one change the color of the htc theme (black makes me sad - i would prefer silver or green)? Yup, you can make it whatever colour you like. - how does the email-client look like? It's the standard WM6 mail client. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I really want this device, but some of you may remember the problems I had with my first two TyTN units (I think I was one of the first to unbox a retail unit bought off the shelf on this forum). I think I am going to wait for a bit after the Kaiser lands and see if there any little "quirks" like those on the TyTN, silly stuff like screen alignment issues, backlight problems etc. I guess it's to be expected of a new device. So this time I am going to let someone else take their turn as a beta tester for HTC!! Then once things have settled down a bit and things appear kosher I think I will drop for one. It's reassuring to see that both the units i've had (and one was a prototype) are free of quality concerns. Sure, there gets a bit of dust between the battery cover lens cover and the camera itself, but it's easily wiped by removing the battery cover. That's literally my only (very very minor) hardware complaint so far :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 It was full of errors... in early ROMs as you'd expect :) It's very, very near to being ready now. P I've talked to a contact of mine working for the danish parallel to Vodafone. He's a tester, and he have had he greasy hands on the Kaiser... And he says, it is filled with errors... So much, that they will not sell if HTC dosen't correct those errors soon.. I just hope they do... But he said about the same thing about the S710, and taht one came out...

Guest steveoidm Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Paul, any news from expansys on why it has been removed from the site? I have emailed them twice and got no response at all. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Interesting, just read on HoFo that the AT&T Kaiser could be called the 'AT&T Tilt'. Discuss....

Guest Kchrpm Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Tilt sounds ok with me, have to see about blocking out the "l" and getting a second one so I'll have my own nice set of... Anyway, once you get some nice stable software, think you could download and play one of the standard def wmv's from GameTrailers.com? That's where I get a lot of my daily-watched media, so if it can play those back without stuttering I should be ok with its video capabilities. The Mogul I messed with at a Sprint Store was not happy at all playing back the trailer for Resident Evil 5. My 624 MHz Axim handles them (and even some 640x480 content) just fine, I'm not too keen on spending hundreds and losing capability in the process!

Guest tata Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Hi Paul, I've read that Qualcomm GPS chipset seems to be less sensitive and accuracy compared to the SIRFstar III GPS chipset, that could be a problem when the conditions deteriorate. It was the case with HTC P3600. Do you know if latest Qualcomm chipset MSM7200 and last programs versions have improved sensitivity GPS on the Kaiser compared to the HTC P3600, and if it is now at same level as SIRFstar III ? Thanks a lot! Edited July 31, 2007 by tata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Sensitivity seems fine to me, but then I was quite happy with the P3600 :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mortenandersen Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 As the keyboard is very important for me, can someone tell me how large it is, for instance compared to the HTC S710 keyboard, or the Nokia E90 keyboard? The S710 keyboard is a bit to small for my liking, so I would like the Kaiser keyboard to be larger. If it is, how much larger is it? And is it comfortable to use with the indexfingers?

I kinda like it, but then I like the naming of the 'Wing' and 'Dash' by T-Mo too :) P the tilt doesnt sound too bad, its a much easier name than 8925. im sure someone could remember than name better than a bunch of numbers as a phone name. i found the topic on HowardForums: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php...642#post9640642 aparently i dont know where the power button is on that forum cuz i only have 1 post lol.
