AT&T Tilt Spotted In The Wild

Jason Chen — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 13:26:31 EDT

A HoFo user got his hands on an AT&T Tilt, also known as an HTC Kaiser or the HTC TyTN II, and took a few shots of its exterior hardware buttons and its fairly standard Windows Mobile 6 UI. From the shots, you can't tell whether the phone has the TouchFlo topscreen UI like the standard HTC TyTN II does, but the default WM6 home screen along with Push-To-Talk is still there. The same HoFo user says that an October 1 launch date "seems right", but we'll have to wait until next week to be sure. In the meantime, hold off on any Windows Mobile phone purchases to see how this one pans out. [Howard Forums]

Spy Shots Emerge of AT&T 8925, Verizon i-760 and XV6800 Phones

Samsung is probably wondering where these spy pics of its i-760 came from. Contrary to the design of the one we showed you almost a year ago, this one has a numeric keyboard on the front and slides to the side. Neato. And what's that next to it? The AT&T 8925? Yes, and its roots are the HTC Kaiser, with a 3MP camera, 320x240 screen, 128MB of RAM and Telenav GPS. Then there's the Verizon XV6800, but we've already shown you spy shots of that. Gallery below shows them all. For what it's worth, we think these are all just a bunch of me-too phones, one nearly indistinguishable from the other. [Mobility Today]

AT&T Tilt Gets Further Specs, Price, Launch Frame

Jason Chen — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 15:00:05 EDT

The AT&T Tilt (also known as HTC Kaiser or AT&T 8925) has further firmed up for a September launch by way of a few leaked details from AT&T. The phone will be $349 with a two-year voice and data plan, push-to-talk, Wi-Fi, 2.8-inch tilting screen, push email, Microsoft Office for WM6, as well as AT&T Mobile Music and Media Net. There will be two versions, the 8925 with camera and the 8900 without camera, but both of them will be sans front video cam, even though AT&T's Video Share video calling service is live. There should be a formal announcement on this soon. [Boy Genius]

HTC Kaiser Coming in August as the AT&T 8925?

Jason Chen — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 16:58:38 EDT

The HTC Kaiser, unboxed here, is supposedly heading to AT&T soon under the 8925 model. This 8925 will replace the current 8525, which has been the go-to Windows Mobile phone since it was released last year. So what's new? Lots of stuff, including a 3-megapixel camera, 128MB RAM, a fold-up design, a GPS (?), a possible front camera for AT&T's Video Share, and preliminary launch date of August, according to the leak.

The leak also reports than the 8525 will be discontinued when the 8925 is released. Also, the price point of $600 sans contract and $300 with two-year agreement from the 8525 seems to be what AT&T is aiming for with the 8925 as well. [Electronista]

HTC Hiding a 3G Smartphone?

Louis Ramirez — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 16:04:06 EST

Still looking around for a smartphone? If HTC's previous phones didn't whet your appetite maybe this one will. Dubbed the Kaiser, the new smartphone will make its debut next month at CES joining the Vox and Love we've already spoken about. The main difference between the phones is that the Kaiser will give you three flavors of wireless: 3G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Will it be worth its $1,700 asking price? Definitely not, but we'll have the full scoop come CES. – Louis Ramirez
