HTC Kaiser unboxing; the over te top HTC Hermes?

Check this link:
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2007/05/24/htc-kaiser-unboxing/#more-931
It is smaller and a little more refined than the TyTN's and does an excellent job at navigating.
Check it out..........

besides being smaller, it's more "rounded" in comparison to the tytn, so it feels much smaller in the hand/pocket.
i think the coolest thing in the open/close system, that has changed and is not the same comparing to the tytn/wizard. it feels rock solid.

yep, i did
i only played with it for a few minutes. i think i "bend" thingie is more solid than i thought it would be. besides that, i liked the positioning of the sim card slot. easier to access than the tytn. no need to get the battery out.

Where is the sim slot located then; like the microSD slot on the Hermes?

I will most definately go for this when it is available. The memory and the internal GPS antenna is the key for me.

When it'll arrives in the stores?

One of the rags indicate it will be released in August of 07. I have not seen an official announcement though.

There was a guy selling one not too far from me. I could have bought it but declined as I the only really desire pushing me was the one to have something as soon as it's out, (which isn't always the best ). He sold it Ebay for £390 which isn't too bad considering it's not out yet. I think the August date should be fairly accurate.

the sim is located on the sliding part. when you slide out to reveal the keyboard, it's behind the screen
the card slot is located on the sliding part as well, at the bottom of the device.

Whew.... nice device! I may be leaping...

Good. I am glad you said that. I am definately leaping. But if you leap as well, I can be assured that there will be some great enhancements for it. Fantastic news!

I saw one that said August. Frankly, I never believe any of them. When it comes, I will buy it (unless we start hearing some nighmare stories about it).

Anyone has any idea if T-Mobile is going to release it own branded HTC Kaiser (as MDA Vario III - for example)? My contract is going to finish around December/January, so I'd be happy to get an upgrade as xmas/new year gift.

Touch Pro 2 Spec Change

I went on HTC's website and the dimensions changed, now it says its 16.65 mm thick, before it said it was like 17.1 mm thick, does this mean that other spec changes could happen too? (Well actually they probably could but I doubt they will) But its still great that its a little thinner now, now its thinner than a G1 or Xperia X1

Clove's description says it has FM tuner, I hope this is correct.

Well at least it's something positive

HTC's website says its only 16.65 mm thick, but where they are selling it on Clove, it says 17.25 mm thick. Which one to believe....

16.65, 17.25mm. Does 0.6mm really matter?

True enough HTC has changed it's specs. Thinner is better of course. That is 0.6mm thinner. Will that be because they took the Radio Chip out? That is a bad trade off if it is. 0.6mm is not really noticeable.

LOL now that you mention it, that is probably why its thinner

I would much rather have it be the same thinness as before and have a radio than to make it a little thinner and to lose such a nice feature, maybe other than the fact that it saves them money they did it to even out the diamond 2 and it a little.

Are you looking at this site:
http://www.htc.com/uk/product/touchpro2/specification.html
Because the spec. still says 17.25?

What's 0.6mm between friends?

He's talking about this page: http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro2/specification.html
It's the www version of the site that they update primarily. The UK/DUTCH/GER/ITA etc etc versions of the site get updated later on

This whole radio myth is really kind getting on my nerves. LOL. Hope someone with the handset can just release us from this.

"""Have got mine today.Am sorry to say i cant find any radio on my mine i guess thier is none and yes it came with the HTC case check on htc website to what type.
The phone is just solid and brilliant.i cant wait to upgrade to win 6.5""""
but i do think that if you make and install a cab of the radio program seen on the first rhodium rom it SHOULD work.

I saw that photo before and it was posted after our discovery about the change of sepcs on HTC's website. The photo was a relief but no one else have proven the radio afterward. But I hope that photo was correct by any means.

should be receiving mine tomorrow with luck, just received shipping notification, and as i'm so excited i probably won't sleep i'll do tomorrows work tonight and then get to play all day i'll let you know what i can find on it.

Well no radio so far found, the stylus has a distinct metal feel to it and the device does turn on when you take it out.
So far i am very impressed the grill onthe back i guess is for battery cooling as the speakers are only at the top , g-sensor all works fine and stuff unfortuntly am connecting to internet via work currently so can't post pictures or anything but if anyone has any requests for info i will check as often as i can.

RHODIUM owners come here !!!!!

Let's count here to see actually how many Touch Pro 2 owners are here
I'm guessing there are more visitors than owners on this rhodium site

Hi,
After Kaiser, Raphael, I have now a french Rhodium unbranded (unfortunatly for hard spl with samsung chip).

I bought mine from CLOVE.CO.UK on May 30th .
I had it sent to a friend's address in London as I couldn't risk loosing it or getting it stuck at customs here in Istanbul.
So I flew to London just for a day to pick it up from my friend )))
It was the most expensive phone I ever bought

Couldn't you just buy out HTC for that money?

I like to be the first to own some things and there is cost for that which I am willing to pay.
I remember flying to Germany to buy the Sony Ericsson P1i on the first date it was ever released......
The funny thing I went in the morning and flew back home the same day and the German police at the passport control couldn't understand why I would fly to another country to buy a phone and return home the very same day, he tought I was upto something else

Does it count that I have had 4 so far? Sent 3 back for being faulty.
I'm sure there is more than 100 owners, especially with all the comments going round in this forum.

If you figure out how please add "once it hits my carrier I will own it" because the US carriers have not released it yet.

Got it two weeks ago. Prefer SPB Mobile Shell 3 over TouchFlow3D.

I'm sorry it won't allow me.
But anyway , thinking of buying and ordering the the thing are two different things. You may think of buying TP2 but but decide on a Nokia N97 for example, this could affect the outcome of the Poll When you bought it or ordered it, you could vote here
Seems like so far only 66 of us , I doubt we could make it to 100 owners..

got one about a week back.

got mine for a while now and touchflo 3d beats mobishell on tp2.

Agree with Shingers here, having tried SPb Mobile Shell, I much prefer TF3D. Smooth, intuitive and well, just very pretty! (=
It's the thing that most impresses people when I take out my phone and *ahem* brag a little. I bought mine about two weeks ago. Unlocked, generic ROM, unbranded HTC, roughly 800 dollars.

GOt my tmobile one, for free

Got mine 3 weeks ago - ordered in uk! perfect companion so far with some bugs left...

HTC DESIRE HD in India.

I have been waiting for this phone ever since it was announced and now iv finally got some news of availability in india and its coming soon..
check it out .. sorry cant post urls as of now copy paste the link below thanx .
igyaan.in/2010/11/igyaan-exclusive-desire-hd-and-desire-z-india-launch-on-10th-dec-prices/[/url]

Good News...Badly waiting for it...Looks like the rates are cheaper than what u get in europe...Not sure what's the catch....

WOW they keep rolling them out to other countries despite that according to htc they 'cant keep up with demand' and that is just demand in the uk. i guess this is the reason for the delays ......
however it is good news for those of you who want to pick one up on contract i guess

@Noobdeagle
-No we don't have phones on contract in India...all are sim unlocked.
-You can buy phone from carriers but still have to pay the unlocked price
Recently they released in germany and checked amazon and other sites...its already out of stock in Germany...so Even the phone is announced in india...only the almighty knows how long it will take to actually feel one in hand

really all sim unlocked sounds better than on contract i always import sim-free and no where usually want to sell new handset sim free unlocked and unbranded which is frustrating otherwise id probably have one in my hands already.
i guess htc must just want to get it out there as a sort of advertisement for the product, to get people stuck on never ending waiting lists lol

@v6kgang - well all i can say is that the phone was supposed to release in Nov thru vodafone not bundled or sumthin may be for the launch of 3G but as vodafone 3G is delayed till next year so i think it will be available from local dealers. Since vodafone guys have no clue i managed to get hold of the official distributor for htc devices in kolkata he is saying that the phone shud be here soon but not willing to give definate dates. but he said one thing for sure the phone is definately coming nd pretty soon. So i have my fingers crossed that the 10th dec date is proper info ...
@Noobdeagle - v6kgang is correct there are jbarely 5% of the phones which are branded but they are mostly low end basic phones.

@Noobdeagle - LOL...was thinking about the same thing...they are not able to keep the promise in europe for timely delivery...They just want to add Asian customers as well to the waiting list i guess...
@gaurav - Knew it mate...u can never trust these guys...i still remember iphone came after 2 years to india on contract and is still being sold at around 30K. If it is sold through retailers the price would be un-imaginable...should well cross the 34K mark...lets keep our fingers crossed

I got news that DHD will be launched after December 28. And pricing is the issue for not launching now.

I'm waiting for the mobile to get released officially , even thought the grey market price is 33k in bangalore.. Hope so the wait is worth it..

hey guys got confirmed news from source in kolkata that the phone is coming next week by 22nd or 23rd which means next week. well i think that means the price tussle between the distributors nd htc is over. THANK GOD FOR THAT .. well the price still seems to be 30k+.... but still i have my fingers crossed nd hope htc follows the schedule this time.
