hey paul question about latest HTC Kaiser OS, what voice recognition software for dialing comes with it? Is it Voice Speed Dial or Voice Commander?

The MDA Vario III WILL have Outlook and Office Mobile.

Thanks for the reply Paul... I am not looking to get the phone from the carrier... Would Outlook or Office be available on the unlocked instrument? If not... would that mean we cannot view/edit office docs / pdfs?

This type of software is core to the operating system and being Microsoft it would be suicidal to not include their own products :) Rest assured that you will be able to everything MS related on branded/unbranded phones.

Paul, why the TyTN II name is not anymore in the title of this topic?

I would suppose so.. but nowhere on web does office mobile feature in the spec list. Direct Mail is part of the list though.

The GCF certification talks abt the feature to edit docs.. but does that mean it has the full mobile office suite? Could someone get some confirmation on this?

When I posted that link to Microsoft, I was not suggesting these features wouldn't be present on the device. I was purely pointing out how useless Microsoft are at posting accurate information. There is no question that all those features will be included in all variants of the Kaiser.

Apologies if it caused any confusion...

No, Pocket PCs don't do that any more... that was eradicated with the advent of persistent storage in WM5.

Thank you very much for your replies Paul... nothing is happening yet on the webistes and the alleged release date which is today though...iam patiently waiting..... hope things will change later on.. please let there be a release today...

WiFi is still disconnected when device is in standby.

this is driving me nuts on my se p990. why the heck are connections disconnected automatically? on the p990 EVERY connection (wifi/umts/gprs) is disconnected automatically, self, if one sets the timeout to never.

is this also normal for wm6 phones?

uhm Paul, what's about Skype? So it works well with no lag on Kaiser?

What I'd like to know is how well the radio stands up to losing 3G signal when a data session is open. i.e. if the phone is set to receive push email all day do you find that calls go missing without any notification and will you be able to make a call without resetting the phone or restarting the radio?

So, no exciting news today it seems... Bugger! And I so hoping for a release date... Even in a danish WM forum, some members are summing for this phone. I have had to answer 3 topics that were really the same!

Oh, btw. Paul if you could do me a BIG favour and test the free version of Smart2go on the Kaiser, I would really appreciate it.

And how is this Kaiser doing with media? I'm especially thinking video. Does it lag alot? Is the screen big enough? Is it possible to read subtitles?

Thank you in advance

Another request for Paul:

Can you check www.finetune.com/wii for compatibility?

That's seems pretty cool, but as far I can tell, it is just a browser-based player. So that should be working, right?

8th September is still my guess for actual availability. I expected a web launch today, but nothing yet :)

That finetune site seems to be flash, which won't work no?

But it's not Flash video, more like a slideshow with sound. I've had simpler Flash like that work on my Axim, except not as memory-hoggy.

Hi Paul,

Sweet September 3rd and only $500, I was expecting at least $600. Now if only there was a way to cancel my verzion plan early...

But this brings up my first question, should I get the at&t branded phone or the HTC branded or is there no different besides at&t phone being locked cuz I can get that unlocked. I ask this because verzion cripple there phones like no tomorrow and I wasn't sure how at&t handle that.

Cool , can get mine Oct :)

Paul, how does one become a mobile tester to get the phone pre realse ? just curious

nooooooooooooooooooo!! Why not sprint or T-Mobile? :)

Because T-Mo don't have a 3G network, and Sprint don't have a GSM network at all :P

AT&T's version won't have the sexy plugin... and will be available with and without cameras.

No confirmation yet on whether the camera'd version includes the front camera this time (unlike the 8525), but now they've launched their 'not quite video calling' 'Video Sharing' service, I imagine it will!
