Friday is my b-day! Gonna have to buy myself a present!! :)

[andy @ Oct 4th 2007 9:27AM]

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.

It has everything that I want, but Windows mobile is going to make it all janky. This phone is going to crash alot.

[AcidElement @ Oct 4th 2007 10:38AM]

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...

[nottakingitpersonally @ Oct 4th 2007 11:17AM]

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?

[Mike Uram @ Oct 4th 2007 11:33AM]

I defer to your knowledge, but if I am a fanboy of anything, it is nokia. Thanks for the lesson.

[Mike Klein @ Oct 4th 2007 2:15PM]

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.

[Mike @ Oct 4th 2007 11:52AM]

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..

[shawnkhoda @ Oct 4th 2007 11:08PM]

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

[Goodman @ Oct 4th 2007 2:14PM]

I am so buying this, even though it means switching to AT&T. Fortunately I'm no longer under contract.

[mongoos150 @ Oct 4th 2007 12:11PM]

Yawn. I agree with Mike, the phone looks cheap and BULKY.

[Rizano @ Oct 4th 2007 6:16PM]

CHECK THIS OUT EVERYBODY!!!

Oh well, the link was working at the time I posted it. It no longer shows the Tilt.

[Naveed @ Oct 5th 2007 12:27AM]

never realized this had puch to talk

[JayMonster @ Oct 5th 2007 10:26AM]

OK, so the Mogul is out, now the tilt. Where the hell is my XV6800? Hello Verizon? Can you hear me now? Sheesh.

[Pea Pot @ Oct 5th 2007 9:55AM]

The final price is $399 from AT&T Premier:

Your Price*$399.99

[nycred @ Oct 8th 2007 11:08AM]

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.

[Aly @ Oct 8th 2007 3:58PM]

I only paid $250 for my Tilt... your crazy to pay double!

[Aly @ Oct 8th 2007 4:07PM]

Look on ebay... these idiots paying almost $600 for it.... dumb!
