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...

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.

Me too! YAY!

If only the screen was 640X480. I saw the Toshiba G900 at MEDC and couldn't believe it.

so who recieved his phone yet?

now that they are in stock it should be with some of you by now
1- what are your first impressions of the device.
2- how solid does the build quality seem? is it too plasticy? how solid is the sliding and tilting mechanism ?
3- how good (stablility, speed, software) of the stock rom. seems HTC has started putting some really nice ROM since they released the HD.
4- whos gonna be cooking for this phone. any famous chefs
5- is the speaker phone really a lot better than other phones?
6- any disappointing things about it?
7- can we safely say that there is no GPS lag issues like the ones found in other QC-based phones
8- where did you get the phone and how much did you pay for it

I'm really excited about the Touch Pro2 coming to the US sooner than expected. I've had a Touch pro and Touch HD running at edge speeds for a while now. Finally I can get basically a Touch HD with full Qwerty board and 3G AT&T speed.
The Tg01 is exciting with a 1Ghz processor and 4.2" screen, but I've been missing out on 3G speed and a full qwerty for too long now.

^ agree bro, the TP2 is state of the art with 3G for us in the usa right NOW!
we can check out the TG01, Star, etc. when they come to us later...

Anyone got theirs delivered yet?
simple questions
1) Does it have the FM radio?
2) Any case provided, if so what type?

In second post, @MinecraftZombi.es said that he grabbed one and he's from Spain. Ask him how.

I'm also interested in obtaining this phone. £299 is the cheapest price iv'e found, the only problem is that I can't find any way to get the phone from the UK to the US

Maybe something like www.myukmailbox.com and similar

Got one Tuesday after much fussing. First one had a power button issue and the second was the last in stock. I have a very small hairline scratch at the top but not on the actual display itself. I have just ordered a screen protector and case as not *ONE* (high street) shop in the UK appears to sell any accessories for this phone that I could find. So I have been using it bare. The scratchy plastic front lens is a bit of a pain for me as I have an HTC One M7 that has never had a screen protector on it in over 3(?) years and has not one scratch on it. Some minor niggles. The scratch prone nature of the lens obviously. The Android soft keys take up room on the screen and requires root to sort out (I am a bit shy about doing that right away). The lack of a charging LED when connected other than if you run it down to 0%. A fingerprint scanner would have been nice as well as the sensor that the S6 has to monitor things like heart rate. I can't seem to get Nova Launcher to work properly on it either (post Marshmallow and after updating). Not sure if that required root or not on my HTC though. I can see myself rooting it at some point but I will probably need some hand holding in order to do it.
In all other regards it's a steal!

Nova Launcher works absolutely fine. Most be something to do with your phone.
Try to reset the phone.

Nova working fine for me too.

Turns out something changed for the camera app launcher (The one on the bottom was different to the default launcher on Googles Launcher). I was getting a photo app error when using it in Nova ('Photos has stopped working unfortunately' or something like that). I changed the icon to the Camera icon shown in the default launcher and it works now. I think I must have installed Google Plus or something whilst running Nova and it changed the Camera launching app. Only the default camera launcher seems to work with Nova on Marshmallow (what is that Quickpic? Will have to investigate). Also I don't think Nova likes the 'Hide System Bar' app on unrooted phones.

Is our phone a lost hope?

no promised updates, no good custom Roms, no one wants to port lineage os for us, and the list goes on and on.
if by March still no update by HTC, I'll be giving up on HTC products and venture into OnePlus. so sad to see HTC gone to ****. /rant

Totally agree with you.
Let's talk about the alternatives / improvements.
5 inch display, dual sim, microUSB expansion and stereo sound are my "must have".
Any decent alternatives out there?

I myself prefer a minimum screen of 5.5 the bigger the better but definitely not beyond 6 or maybe 6.2(I'm gonna wait for s8 xl to come out to see if 6 is my max or 6.2) dual SIM is not a must for me but it's nice to have i guess. expansion is a must i think for external backup and such. our HTC one stereo speakers are just soo soo good though I'm gonna miss it for sure. AMOLED is a must for my next phone it's just so beautiful! ofcourse the camera has to be superior too.
at the moment i really am considering OnePlus due to its versatility and support and since I'm not from the US so pixel is out for me. to be honest, I'm gonna wait for note 8 and Nokia flagship to come out before i make my final decision. I grew up with Nokia if the flagship turns out to be superior I maybe going with Nokia i think.

If you are considering the Galaxy S8 or S8+ but miss the stereo speakers of many HTC phones dont forget the S8 and S8+ are remoured to also have stereo speakers,top and bottom. Though not at front ofcourse.
But guess we'll have to wait and see for sure.
On the topic of the E9+ and software updates I have recently emailed HTC support India side and they actually got back to me.
They did say the E9+ is only upgradeable to Marshmallow meaning it wont get Nougat.
But they didnt actually say it will be getting Marshmallow,only that its only upgradeable to Marshmallow.
I messaged them back asking if it will still defo be getting Marshmallow though. Still waiting for reply.
But it did sound like it will be getting it,but they cannot give me a timeframe as to when though.

out of curiosity, are you on stock e9+ or you have custom rom installed? if custom what room did you use? I'm from Malaysia and the only rom that works for me is E9pw_Android5.0_Sense70_E1.zip which I got from this site and it works just ok but not that great imo https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/boycracked.com/2016/02/05/official-stock-rom-firmwareruu-htc-one-e9-plus-a55ml-e9pw/amp/

Im on stock rom.

One advice. Don't buy **** models instead of flagship next time.

It's always the same with HTC, we should learn that at the end, is a ****ty company.

There is a very simple method to avoid phones like this with no support. Before purchase look into specs and search for "CPU" row. You see anything with "Mediatek" in the name you immediately forget about purchasing this phone. Works everytime.

Looking to buy used/refurb XL. Does this one look legit?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/SEALED-Goo...290836?hash=item442299f394:g:x2MAAOSwEjlbRvcv
The thing that stands out to me is the "90 day manufacturers warranty". Which is good, as most likely any defects should present by then. But, if NO warranty at all after 90 days, seems risky.
Does this seem like a good deal? (they've sold over 200 so far, though nobody has left feedback yet).

That seems shady that nobody at has left any feedback even though they've sold 200 units. If you can return the purchase if you arent happt with it, go ahead and try ir out. But you still never know. Most of the times, they ship merely the phone itself and no other gadgets that's supposed to come with it. So be aware of that. I bought a refurbished pixel 2 xl and that one was on Pie and the battery kind sucked aswell as the fingerprint scanner after a week or so. So i bought another one and this time it wqs on oreo 8.1 and so far. It runs smoothly without any issues.
Hence, buying refurbished is kind of like gambling. You never know what you will get!

90 days should just be warranty that they have stated. Though Google does two year warranty mostly. I would check the IMEI with Google and see what they say before you purchase. Because you bought it and they should be able to offer you a refurbished unit as a replacement if it has issues. They look brand new basically.

How would he check the IMEI before he even gets the unit? It's not like they'll just give him that info before purchasing.

The seller has a solid rating. I would not worry about it. Just a heads up, it is probably a Verizon version. Those are the only ones available outside of the Google store so you won't be able to unlock the boot loader if that is important to you. But there is no way to know for sure without the IMEI.

Flash the latest factory images before doing anything! It could have malware preinstalled. The description says "Bootloader unlocked", this could be a typo and the seller means bootloader unlockable, or perhaps carrier unlocked, but flashing the factory images will clear out any changes, and will also save you the trouble of going through each update on its own.

Supposed to be here Friday, so I was surprised to see it when I got home today.
It looks brand new, with factory stickers and packaging. Bootloader is locked.
As stated, no accessories included (except SIM tool and a cleaning cloth).
From what I understand of it, it does have the blue shift issue with the display. Not sure how I should feel about that... doesn't seem to bother me yet.

All OLED displays have blue shift, so it's really a non-issue. If it doesn't bother you now it probably won't at all.
