Speaking of Germans and cellphones, today we learn that the HTC Kaiser is indeed coming to the US-and-A, courtesy of AT&T. Why the carrier is hogging all the high-end phones is anyone’s guess; we see them diluting their upper market with iPhone competitors as they try to cover every base, but whatevs.
The QWERTY-sliding Windows Mobile 6 smarty should hit sometime next month, which is fairly soon for a rumor of this nature, but we’ll see. What we like about it is the 128MB operational RAM and the 3-Megapixel auto-focusing digital camera.
No word on pricing yet, but expect it to be around $500 with a plan at launch.
Kaiser trumps iPhone [Tom the Geek]
Linked site blocked at work… this phone looks a lot like the Cingular 8525 I wanted before but decided to wait on…. should I get this one? Peter Ha help me!
The Kaiser is the Hermes 2, it’s a lot like the Hermes (8525) but with 128MB of RAM, Built-in GPS, that neat slide/flip up, and the auto-focusing camera. With the progress the Official ROMs have made for WM6 this should be the device to have. (Not that WM6 doesn’t still suck…but it does suck less now)
I’m sorry everyone is linking to this joker who actually has no better idea than the next guy. Unbelievable! Tomthegeek site does not cite a source!!!
