Friday is my b-day! Gonna have to buy myself a present!! :)
vaporware.
How is this going to be launched on Friday when ATT hasn't even acknowledged its existence?
Where's the proof? Too many lies about this thing abound for you to be believed without concrete proof.
@andy:
say wha??

It has everything that I want, but Windows mobile is going to make it all janky. This phone is going to crash alot.
I've used Windows Mobile 5 on the KJAM for 3 years and Windows Mobile 6 on the P4350 for about a year - not one crash.
On other hand, I've worked at RIM and had crashes on several Curves, Pearl's and especially the 8800.
Not that I'm a fanboy or anything, cause I just bought an iPhone, but you should watch what you assume when you probably don't know shit in the first place...
8125 when it was new: NEVER crashed.
8525 when it was new: NEVER crashed.
8525 when I put whatever new WM6 I was trying at the time: prone to monthly crashes.
As a a repeat (and heavy user), I have total confidence this thing WONT crash, where are you basing this off of? Have you ever owned an HTC phone?
I defer to your knowledge, but if I am a fanboy of anything, it is nokia. Thanks for the lesson.
8525 never crashed? Dude...do you even turn it on?
Mine hung after a hard reset even (10 mins later) when bringing unit out of 'standby'.
I call B.S.
Ill this phone looks so bloated and old.. Looks uncomfortable using those buttons so far at the bottom.. Looks like cheap ass plastic.. Small screen.. Battery life sucks.. Why not just buy a laptop or a oqo??
Actually looks kinda like a Zune... Scary..
why the **** do u come and read an HTC KAISER article, and then just say that it sucks. obviously u care about it if u took the time to write ur stupid post and just complain about everything. /cry
I am so buying this, even though it means switching to AT&T. Fortunately I'm no longer under contract.
Yawn. I agree with Mike, the phone looks cheap and BULKY.
CHECK THIS OUT EVERYBODY!!!

Oh well, the link was working at the time I posted it. It no longer shows the Tilt.
never realized this had puch to talk
OK, so the Mogul is out, now the tilt. Where the hell is my XV6800? Hello Verizon? Can you hear me now? Sheesh.
The final price is $399 from AT&T Premier:
Price Calculation
Base Price$999.99
Company Discount-$499.99
Web Discount-$100.01
Your Price*$399.99
jeez this thing is huge! I had the Helio Ocean for a few weeks and that was bulky enough! Devices like this big ole' nut log are just too clunky to be practical. Who the %#@* wants to walk around looking like they have a brick in their pocket? I guess you could always clip it to your waistband...yeah...that makes you look REALLY cool...especially when you clip it to the waistband of your pleated Dockers.
For the record...I have had my Pearl for several months now and it hasn't ever crashed...that's about the only positive thing I can say about it.
I only paid $250 for my Tilt... your crazy to pay double!
Look on ebay... these idiots paying almost $600 for it.... dumb!
