ATT Kaiser pricing and release update

This was posted in the $299 thread but its at the way back so I thought I would create a thread so people would have an easier time finding it. Apparently the guys at howard forums don't know jack.
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2007/09/14/att-tilt-drops-some-knowledge-on-us/
$ 349 with 2 year sign up and data (though I imagine corp will be much cheaper)
release date is listed as late september in the docs.

Am I blind or do they not even list its GPS on there features there?

Thats what I said, however they do mention it in the top paragraph. To be honest Ill still get it even if it doesn't have built in. All I do is put an at&t logo on my punching bag at home to take out my aggression LOL.

oh well I ordered the HTC one lol. Not a bad price on this one tho even without a contract its nice at 549.

$549? I thought they were like $800?

I was saying the att one is not a bad price at 549. The htc unlocked one I got was 789.

They dont have any video calling so whats the point of having an extra low-quality camera?

Wow, $800 HTC Kaiser it is! Screw that ugly nerfed ATT one.

I posted this over at Howard Forums...
There's an online vendor who sells the Kaiser who is offering them to me at $700 for a group buy. If anyone is in IL and is interested, lemme know. The only reason I want to limit it to people in IL is I can drive and meet them someplace so there's no payment/shipping issues. I'm not a reseller and I don't want to be a reseller. I'm just trying to get this as cheap as possible.

I dont think $700 is that cheap though. $600 maybe, I am curious to see what "group" means and will you be able to meet the minimum order in just IL.

I have to buy 5 to get that price. I have Me and 2 buddies from work. So technically I only need 2 more. Figured I'd offer it to the forum.
They are selling them out within days of getting them in stock at 850 so they aren't making much on these at 700. I have just bought a LOT of phones from them and directed a lot of sales their way.
Once AT&T's starts selling, I would think that prices will drop a little but I don't think we'll ever see an online vendor dip below the $700 mark. MMB is $749 which is still the lowest I've seen and he's the most reliable seller I've ever dealt with.
-Mc
Correction: I just checked his website and he raised the price to $779.

5 is a good deal, but at $700 that is too much and all you get is the front camera. ATT for $400 and no front camera is MUCH easier to swallow.

I agree. I just don't want to wait forever for them to release it. I've been holding off because I wanted to see what AT&T did to it. I hate crippled devices. I'm also reluctant to put the 8925 on my account as it could get me kicked off my data plan. A generic device isn't as automated for the system to verify against your plan.
-Mc

Called ATT store by me and asked when they would have the tilt in stock, the guy put me on hold for 2 minutes and told me oct 1st. Surprised to hear he even knew about it and even more surprised to have a date they would have it in store.

Yup me too. i just went to the att store and asked them this afternoon and she said the same thing in october. color will remain the same and as already reported no front camera and so on.........

Some people are claiming that ATT in Manhattan and most of the New York city was selling the 8925 today.

why would u want to watch who u are talking to. if anything u cant lie to the wife when she wants to see where u are if she doesnt believe u .....

What do you mean by getting kicked off your data plan? i have been using the media max bundle for over a year with my treo and my 8525 with no problems. i have never paid the outrageous 60 for a pda data plan.

The Western Union thing sounds shakey but he says he's in Florida and tried to call me on the phone although no one was there. Hopefully he's not using the phone he wants to sell me. LOL
Any more thoughts? I can't find any posts about how this is a known scam other than this post.

Well, I warned you. I'm not sure how clearer I can be.
They (and others like them) post the same junk here on a constant basis. Some have fallen for it and, surprise, they've lost their money.
No offense, but just use some common sense. Do you really think any company can sell merchandise for way below cost? Where's the profit?
As the old saying goes, "If it sounds to good to be true..."

Western Union = Scam

THANKS!

Thanks guys for talking me off the cliff!

Sure way to determine if the guy is a scam is see if he's willing to take a credit card for payment or anything other than Western Union.
The scammers know Western Union is their only way to steal.

FOR SALE: Kaiser with Dutty's ROM installed

hey guys,
I was about to put this up on ebay but then I suddenly decided to offer it up on here since it is this place that helped me get it up and running with a good ROM in the first place.
I have used this tilt for less than a week. I have never dropped it and there are no scratches. I used it for the BB connect and when it comes to BB nothing does it better than an actual BB. while the Tilt is better than the BB in every other way... I realized that I never use anything else the phone offers.
anyway... I can provide pictures if you want. I just need to take a couple good ones (attached ones I took with iPhone are all blurry).
I have all of the original packaging. I also have a new never opened 3-in-1 2gb Micro SD card (Sandisk) and Car Charger (ATT Branded) to go with it.
Im not looking for any specific price... just make me a reasonable offer.

Is there a reason you don't just return it?
Ok I have heard of people getting these for several prices so reasonable could be any number. I'll give ya $125

because I hate dealing with AT&T customer service and would rather take a loss than go through the pain.
I honestly dont need nor care about the money.
Will even take a trade if its interesting enough
and I would rather offer a good deal to someone on this board (lots of great people here) than give it back to ATT.

ill offer 126.00 because i can get it thru premier for 150 but id rather not give att any more money then the 300$ each month i give them
on a side note you should try selling it on hofo i let a tilt go few months ago for 510$ shipped on there..granted it was NIB but still

126$ isnt off the table... but would anyone happen to have a GPS unit Like a garmain or tomtom) they would want to trade for it?

does this phone still have warranty through at&t? like is the imei clean?

no reason it wouldnt be. came direct from ATT. arrived March 21 and I started using it on March 27. I was out of town on business when it came in.

would this work / also I have sent you a PM
http://shopdelphi.com/consumers/mobilenav/nav200us/

ill give ya £80 for it

£80 is the new best offer!

80.00 EUR = 125.270 USD
Euro United States Dollars

yeah I know... for some reason my other line of txt didnt make it in there... I said that as a joke... the international shipping alone would be too much hassel.
so to clarify... no international shipping... lower 48 only. I am in Ohio to give you an idea of where it will be coming from.

Heading out to work shortly, will check mail from mobile for a reply to my PM. Thank You.

actually chumley, £80 is about £160 USD
the exchange rate for 1GBP is about 2.1USD

remind me not to let any of yall exchange my money.

Ill give your $200 for it, that $74 higher than anyone else and you can keep your memory I have an extra 8gb. I just really do hope its in the condition your saying its in.

this looks like your best bet for the price you want to pay

If you read the specifications and looked at the pictures, you would've known that the phone link that you sent me is for the CDMA Sprint version of the phone, but nice try. Find me some more deals, please!

I have a used international version unlocked that I'd be willing to sell. It has everything included except I swapted out the perpritary connection cable with a mini b. The listing would be through amazon or ebay for security. Tell me what you think. I can take pics if needed.

UK - Chromecast £20!

Available from either Amazon or Currys/PCWorld
As I'm a newbie I can't post links, but I'm sure you can find

Currys/PC World:

Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Google-Chromecast-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B00I4WQ618/

Saw this in my local Currys/PC World Megastore, picked one up, was always contemplating it at £30, so £20 it had me!

£18 now at Amazon, PC World/Currys and Tesco.

Wow. Crazy prices.. Maybe I'll ask Amazon if i can have the £2 difference back.

Can only think they haven't been selling well. £30 (net £25 with the £5 Play Store credit) sounded a pretty fair price to me - though my local Curry's/PC World have been making no effort to promote it in the store. Even the sale price is very inconspicuous.

£18 at Tesco, if you use clubcard points to buy it only cost £9 worth of clubcard point, can't get better than that!

£18 in Stratford currys world as well. I grabbed one today

Argos also have them for £20, when I looked £18 was the online price for currys but £20 in store.

I think Tesco also has some "blinkbox" offer, not too sure - i thought that service was basically dead? or at least no where near as big as they expected it to be.
I already have one but got an extra one to root - old one will be a backup just in case there's any issues.

they have them in tesco, i picked it up thinking it was £30 but scanned in at £18! woot

Just picked up mine for £18 in PC World

I believe the blinkbox offer is £5 credit towards a blinkbox account to rent a film etc.

Too bad I've brought my Chromecast weeks before. XP
