Their partner, AT&T, has a 30 day return policy so all the smart folks who just spent $599 on a 8 gig iPhone will return it for...a $399 8 gig iPhone or...a Kaiser, which will do a bit more.
C'mon ATT. Let's get on with it!
I do not show this price reduction. I also called them and they are not aware of any such reduction.

Price reduction is real and all over the net ... check out the apple store online for confirmation

Yup! Link: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APP.../wa/RSLID?nnmm=browse&node=home/iphone/iphone
Maybe AT&T thinks that iCrap should not be at the same level as AT&T Tilt and lowered it's price.
$400 for an iPhone with 8gigs of memory, while the Kaiser costs $900 and you have to go out and spend $50+ on a couple gigs of flash.
Is the iPhone subsidized or is HTC ripping us off???
Sorry, if that's a stupid question, not sure what the AT&T/Apple deal is...

As per rumors, AT&T Tilt will be $499 with a two-year contract. $900 Kaiser is the price you are paying for an unlocked/unbranded phone. I bet if iPhone followed the same route, you'd be paying close to a grand for it as well.
I can't help but wonder if this iPhone price drop will change pricing on 8925 with ATT
$399 for an iPhone or $499 for a 8925 ? The teeming masses will want to go the iPhone route
DLD
What the f*$k does this have to do with the Kaiser?
The Kaiser is better than the iphone in EVERY way EXCEPT screen size.
Interface? Port it to the kaiser.
Youtube? Kaiser can do it.
Sliding unlock? Kaiser can do it.
GPS? You bet.
Revolutionary dial up internet? Kaiser has high speed.
Space? 8gb? *gasp* buy an 8gb sd card.
The iphone is crap. If anything buy that 16g modded iphone apple sells now. its the iphone without the phone! lucky you

I agree completely.
The teeming masses won't. $299 iPhone will cut in to 8925 sales for sure.

Until the iPhone integrates well (and securely) with an exchange server, the corporate masses are going to stay with blackberry or a windows mobile device.
I already know 3 people who currently own an 8125 or an 8525 that are looking at an iPhone.
DLD
1. There is no $299 iPhone. The 4 GB model is axed.
2. This is germane because the non-geeks (the bulk of the market) don't live on fora, they live in the world of The New Yorker and the WSJ and MTV so, a ripple in the iPhone force field can be a boon to HTC sales especially once said iPhone customer figures out that a) the iPhone is a rip, b) they might want to send an MMS, c) downloading podcasts in the wild (w/o a dock) is a cool thing to be able to do, d) 3G is more faster than Edge v3...
So HTC need to push ATT to get this king into orbit now!
hehe anyone dropping a 3g 8525 for a iphone is just slightly insain. Futhermore anyone who is considering a kaiser wont even look twice at a Iphone for the simple fact as once you look at the 2 side by side its kaiser hands down. The price drop will affect more T-mobile kiddies useing the sidekick line and helio and there ocean.
Anyways I highly doubt this will affect the kaisers sales in the slightest.
Just read somewhere in engadget last night. One of the reason (speculation) why Apple slashed the price $200 cheaper, because Apple will introduce a new "European iPhone", which has (most probably) 3G and possibility to unlock (required by european law).
So, if the price is still $600, 3G iPhone will not be able to compete with WM if the price is $700 - $800.
That's why the US iPhone is now $400, and later the 3G iPhone will be, again $600.
hey guys i have a kaiser that just came in today.
not really what i wanted.
just pm me with your price.
thx
well what did you want? and are you willing to sell?
...
in all honestly i am looking for some osrt of trade for an *phone.
the wife wants one and honestly this is not a machine i would enjoy as much as my artemis. maybe i'm weird.......
Are you wanting to sell your Kaiser? If so how much?
d
allright guys. i rushed when i first posted not seeing the difference between kaiser and tilt.
it's a tilt
if anyone wants it in europe i'll in the UK on wednesday so i can mail it from there without causing any tax probs
sold
sold.......
Just wondering...
Picked up a new V1615 (Vodafone Kaiser) from a Vodafone store just now because that's all they could offer me.
I really, really want an Mwg Atom V (details) or Atom Life which has some amazing specs (details) instead though.
So I want to sell the Vodafone brand new boxed and unopened, SIM free and unlocked.
What kind of price can I expect for it?
Thanks
Its worth as much as a standard Kaiser probably, and a bit more than an AT&T Tilt. But the main place for selling phones is eBay; so prices vary widely. You can probably get upwards of $650 for it.
You do know that in some respects the Kaiser beats the pants off that Atom thingy? For one thing, it has a keyboard. It also has GPS and a 3.1MP camera instead of a 2.0MP. There is also a much larger ROM community for the HTC phones than for the Atom.

Hmmm...I agree with some of what you say about the Atoms now after doing some more research.
One thing that's struck me is the customer service feedback about the Atom's manufacturers. Very few have anything nice to say about the service they received if something went wrong with their device. I'd be in fear of ever needing them.
The main things that have attracted me to the Atom phones so far is the use of Intel Xscale chips, better video support and the use of Sirfstar III chipsets for GPS. I don't need a high spec camera so I'm not bothered by the lack of high pixel capture.
In my experience of using old HTC devices (Universal, Magician) and some new ones (Trinity / P3600 and Kaiser), the older ones seemed faster for some reason. I don't know for sure but the Intel architecture seems better than the Qualcomm.
Also, the Sirfstar III GPS hardware wipes the floor with Qualcomm's equivalents in my experience and doesn't need QuickGPS to get a very fast lock in a built up city like London where I live.
Why did HTC start using these dodgy Qualcomm chips?
I'm still undecided...I just hate waiting with computers / PDAs etc...They should just work, and work fast. Maybe I'm asking for too much.
Anymore opinions?
You in the UK? Is the V1615 on contract?
Not impressed by those Atoms...

That's all they could offer? You have got to be kidding, there isnt a better phone on voda, and you must pay silly amounts monthly to get that offered to you.
also, note, the vodafone one is unlocked from factory.
Though i did manage to pick one up for £20 a month on my contract for an upgrade, free! but i have a hell of a business head when it comes to negotiating!

heh heh
I meant that's all they could offer me in terms of high spec PDAs and I wasn't interested in Blackberrys.
I pay about £45 a month on my contract, but it is an 18 month one. Not bad, but then I've been with Voda for almost 10 years now.
Anyway....I've seen them go on ebay for around £350. Tempted to sell...Still not sure...Still haven't opened the box.
So noone really recommends the Mwgs? If that's the case then I don't really have any other options and I'll just use the Kaiser.
Maybe one day someone will find out how to enable all the great hardware inside the case

I was gonna say! the kaiser isnt that bad mate, i havent come accross one issue with regards to graphics, plus, got a kiddies psp for games!!, sat nav works faultlessly, good quality phone, my battery life is fine. Keep it
If not, ebay mate, your best bet, but watch vodafone dont pick up on it, as it is "actually" theirs unitl youve paid your years contract off etc.

No it's not - it's 100% your property, and your problem. That's not conditional on anything. The contract debt is separate - you owe them the value of that regardless of what you do with the phone. Sell it, keep it, give it back to them, you still owe the contract sum whatever you do.

Hello people!
I've had a Wizard for a long time and have been saving up for my next HTC phone. I'm in Canada and no-one seems to carry the diamond. Wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase an unlocked diamond for use on GSM (specifically Rogers). I checked expansys.ca and their prices rank as high as $988 after Tax & S&H. That's a little too high for my liking.
Any idea where I can get it for less?

Hey jentech, your offer sounds appealing, I'll contact you if I make up my mind. I'd probably prefer it with the stock ROM though just so I can start my customizations on a clean slate.
Would you care to share why u decided to move up to Pro?

Not sure how credible these guys are... Thanks though.
Sure, pm me if you're interested, and you can flash any ROM you want over what I've done. Went to a Pro primarily for the keyboard. I find myself doing more emailing and texting since I changed jobs and the keyboard just makes it easier for me. I love the size of the Diamond though, so there's a trade off. And secondly, I got a steal of a deal on it
Can I sell it here? (Not sure if its only HTC stuff allowed here, would rather sell it here as I have some history here!)
If so:
16GB First Gen quickpwnd (unlocked can use with any GSM simcard in the world)
2.1 Firmware
Pretty much perfect condition its been in a skin since a week after I got it (7 months ago)
terminal, openSSH remote desktop and a few other nice apps installed. PM for the full list!
£230 delivered Thanks!
