Successor to the Kaiser? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Guys!
What will be the successor to this bit of kit most of us have had knocking around for about a year or so now? I'm looking for something similar - ie 'proper' keyboard, good screen, 3g, satnav, cam, and whatever is new and sexy!
I am struggling to think that there i will be a better form factor - but ya never know!
i am a little outta touch with the tech - as i only follow the game when i am really n the market to buy...
so i welcome any good info!
be kool,

HTC Touch Pro, AKA Raphael.
Check the Raph forum and/or wiki on this site or http://coolsmartphone.com.
Or wait and see if HTC bring out a Touch HD (aka Blackstone) with a keyboard

wow aweome!
thx Dave, I'll checkout the info...
I wonder if it is time to look at Nokia's kit? does it rival HTC stuff?
If only that damned android google handset had a keyboard!

I don't think this site will ever do nokia stuff, HTC all the way...

lol damn straight Dave!
Found a cute video of it -

One of two in my opinion:
HTC HD as mentioned above, or Sony-Ericsson Xperia X1. Both have hardware keyboards and WVGA screens. Samsung Omnia is pretty good bang for your buck too, pity it doesn't have a hw keyboard. Nokia's new N96 is interesting, but I would never move away from WinMob, besides, where would you find support like here at XDA?

you speak truth mackjam ;-)
I am in for winmob all the way - sighing and all!!!
cheers

The HTC Touch HD does not have any hardware keyboard though...

My apologies, it doesn't have a hardware keyboard. I was thinking of the Google phone, which is also an HTC device.

Jitterbug?

my only real problems with my kaiser is viability in sunlight my boss laughs at me when he sees me running for shade so i can see whats on my screen, and the material the phone is made out of imo they should have made the entire phone out of the scratch resistant material the back is made out of.
If they were able to make a phone that fixes both of those problems I'd be happy to replace my kaiser with it.

A proper successor maintains or improves:
o the tri-band UMTS (Raphael does not, iirc)
o the keyboard (Touch HD does not)
o has the HTC P4xxx numbering scheme
Anything else?

jitterbug? is that an htc rig?
or somet else?

The Jitterbug is a the wave of the future!!

I'm planning on holding out for an android based phone. A year from now android will be much more mature and hopefully have some excellent phones running it.

Same here as far as android development is concerned.

(I love the big red and green buttons that say yes and no)

I am a fan of the TouchPro (AT&T Fuze) and eagerly await its release...
Still waiting...

lol @ jitterbug - reminds me of my 3 yr old kids 'my first fone'!

Oh ok
Too bad the G1 (HTC Dream = Google Phone) is not as sexy as the other HTC phones...

i changed my mind.... i didn,t know the htc dream had a qwerty!!!
I may change my mind - depending on results of the OS....
I wonder if there will be plugins to be able to monitor my adwords on the fly!!!!

Touch Dual Dialer for KAISER

Take a look at this Video of th TOuch Dual expecially the end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tupk8MYLhMk
I think this the best dialer there is, if you notice it is basically the prefect Microsoft dialer with video button on it...
I'm not so much interested in the dialler, but the text entry methods available on the Touch Duals are also excellent, I believe there is 20 key style on-screen keyboard and also a T9 style on-screen keyboard. If these could be put onto the Kaiser I would be a happy man! The dial too would be a nice addition.
as i read on smarmania(dot)cz, there will be these keyboards available for htc devices through htc eclub at the end of october...
Is it not all about intall a application on WM6?

Awesome...Awesome to the MAX!
If they make these keyboards available on ALL devices that would be frickin' amazing...
even they will make it available only for touch, someone will earlier or later extract it, or you can download through htc eclub...
Check out a util called Phone Pad, i think this is like a T9 dictionary pad like normal phones.
Check this out...
Reported my msmobiles:
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6772.html
Free until December 8th.
Has the dialer been released yet?
http://www.cootek.com/intro.html
These guys released a similar style on screen keyboard
It's free for a limited time (like December 31st 2007) or something
Download away
the Touch Dual is out, can anyone get the DIALER?

+1 for the dialer
Its way better than the one by default on most kaiser ROMs
(especially since it doesnt truncate names when SmartDialing)
Woow, looks nice; I am also really interested in this. The actual one is a little slow.
Is there any hope to get this amazing dialer??

no, and i am affraid if it ever will be released coz guys already extracted it from the roms and there is no need to do it by htc
this htc support is terrible
as for dialer - just wait some time and guys will extract it from some rom
I don't understand how HTC can provide a phone like the Kaiser (supposed to be high-end right ?) with such poor dialer.
It would make more sense to give same nice-looking tools that the Touch family is getting.

Out of curiousity why is the Kiaser phone dialer poor? Im not very impressed, but whats it lacking in your opinion?
yep. correct. what is nice no need to be the best
Easy : it's lacking lisibility
Any Windows Mobile 6 Standard do a much better job when it comes to SmartDialing...
Having a larger top window would definitely help (like on the screenshot)
That is precisely the reaso I use the Microsoft smart dialer and do away with the video call... But this one seems that it combines the Micrsoft smartdialer with Video call... Or it is based on the Microsoft Dialer, it does not matter but it is better. I have seen the Video dialer in the Toshiba G900 which is a Video dialer based on the microsoft WM6 smartdialer and it works much better then the HTC solution

Wts fuze / touch pro, ***look***

***PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK IF YOU VIEW***I know most of you on here know all ths stuff already, but this is my post i'm broadcasting on the various forums i am a part of. anyone that is interested, don't hesitate to pM or post, this is no joke or scam or anything, just trying to get this thing gone. don't be afraid to offer, whats the worse that could happen?***
This is one of AT&T's flagship phones. In my opinion, this is the best phone available one the market today, beating the Xperia X1, iPhone, etc.
I've always been a phone freak, and I do EXTENSIVE research before purchasing a new one. I've been dealing with HTC phones for over 3 years now, and I've never had a desire to go with another company. I love windows mobile and all the cool things you can do with it. The list of programs and applications is endless.
The phone has a GPS receiver built right into it, and I loaded TomTom 7 on it, making it a fully functional GPS unit. It also features a 3.2MP camera with a super bright flash, built in FM tuner, business card reader, mp3 player, picture and video viewer, and lots of other great things. Windows Mobile 6.1 works flawlessly on this phone, thanks to the OEM HTC ROM I flashed on this FUZE, essentially making it a HTC Touch Pro.
The new Touch Flo 3D interface is something to behold. This phone is absolutely beautiful, from it's high resolution VGA screen to its "diamond cut body" and perfect form factor.
I bought this phone for over $500, and I have to say, it was worth every penny. I'm selling it cheap, so don't miss out on this sweet oppurtunity. Thanks alot for reading, and happy buying.
Please no low balls, I'd prefer cash but may consider trades. I accept paypal and money orders. Due to my low feedback, I will work with you as far as shipping arrangements go. I will provide contact information upon payment, and provide confirmation numbers and information upon receiving.
Pictures!

Why would you sell if you love it this mutch? Dunno if this forum is designed for selling Phones.
i need cash quick.. got in a pretty bad car accident and I have zero transportation, gotta pay my car insurance. I bought a piece of **** car for $300, and i don't think it would be cool to have a cell phone that is worth more than my car.

whoops.... good catch, thanks man
personally,
I am in London atm,
I got the touch pro,
I like it but it is too slow,
the performance just loses against other phones..well, not the price!
it is a great phone none the less, but would really prefer a blackberry tbh...

Seeking worthy successor to Tilt

Contract w/ ATT up in June, any suggestions / rumors for a good replacement? Prefer HTC, maybe others? I want at least the functionality of the Tilt, and then some. Maybe WM7 based? I like newer stuff and don't mind tweaking, actually insist on some tweak-ability http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
I would go with the Pro2. It has the tilting screen that the Touch Pro didn't, and this time in WVGA. It will be released with 6.1, but will be upgradable to 6.5. In theory, it will be upgradable to WinMo 7 too, but only time will tell. The worst that could happen is you could have to flash a custom WM7 ROM. If you buy the Unlocked version from a place like Expansys-USA, I am expecting a price tag of at least $750. Check out this and this.

You know AT&T is going to fsck up the keyboard.
Unless something better comes along -- I plan to get the Pro2 when my Kaiser dies (or when the prices for the Pro2 come down a bit )
I will sure miss all the buttons and the jog wheel though
*This* was my next phone before HTC unveiled the TP II , now we will have to compare.
I know that T-Mobile will supposedly be getting the touch pro 2, but have we heard anything about at&t even getting it?
If my sources are correct, it is extremely likely that AT&T will get this, I believe by December. However, they will probably ruin it as usual with trial applications, junk shortcuts to their services, and they will most likely ruin the keyboard, etc. This is why I'm just gonna save up, pay more to buy it unlocked and bypass AT&T entirely.

I love it when people say "if my sources are correct"

I gave away my tilt to my friend and got myself a iPhone 3G last week... Boy what a improvement... Also try blackberry bold, that thing is a beast as well...
According to my sauces, it will be called the Barium ( as in Barium enema ) and yes, it will include the great AT$T keyboard.

Yeah, you can chop, sample, mix, effects, and just about anything else you can do with a full sized drum machine. I know this is an extremely complex app, so chances are, we're SOL. but here's to wishful thinkin!!!
Yes this could be good, plug your TP into a mixer, brings a whole new capability to the device.
I also think though, that to port such an app would be an enormous task.
+1 on wishful thinking
Close thread
I think it's safe to say we can go ahead & close this thread. It's not getting too much interest, so i'm assuming it's either damn near impossible to port, or none of the dev's are really willing to give it a shot. Hopefully someone will drop a similar program from WM.
can somebody please port this i need this in my life.

no my friend... while these are all nice apps, they are NOT beat maker. None of the afore mentioned apps have a full functioning drum machine built into it. Not to mention, NONE of the apps allow for 3rd party plug-ins like Pro-Tools export, rewire, t-racks, etc. Beat Maker is the real deal. I'm seriously debating buying a iTouch SIMPLY for this app!!
Maybe you should contact the maker of the App and see if he would port it himself. Maybe he's already making a WM version to sell on the Windows Marketplace.
For the record, I would also be willing to pay to get a port of this app.

damn, why on EARTH didn't i think of this myself?! i might have to look into this.
i have this app "phoenix Studios" and i love it but its not vga and i stop using it because i didnt have enought memory to keep it going on my old ppc6700.
i almost got an iphone just to get that drum machine apps.
Wouldn't the fact that Raphaels do not have a capacitive touchscreen really hinder this Apps original functionality/awesomeness?
Our touch screens are resistive, and are thus incapable of multitouch like an iphone or g1 for example. (I have seen a demo of multitouch on a supposedly resistive screen around on the nets, but never seen a resistive device with multitouch capabilities released) http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/stantums-mind-blowing-multitouch-interface-on-video/ here's the vid
Just a thought, hope your dreams aren't too dashed.
no need to multitap and such.. we just gotta contact the maker of beatmaker and see if hes brewing a version for WM6.1 platforms!
so is this thing ported yet?
Omniano the Band, is the closest thing to date. The other would be Little Snazzy Drummer, which has a free Lite version as well as a paid version. Neither of these are quite as complex as the app. you mentioned, though I find them both very usable and entertaining.

Help me get my wife a real phone

Hi,
My wife's LG Shine is getting awfully long in the tooth and I seriously want to upgrade her to a WM phone with GPS, WiFi, etc. (I'm a touch hd owner-LOVE IT). THe problem is that she doesn't like the plain, brick-like form factor of my HD. She wants something that looks cool and is appropriate for a business woman (she own her own consulting biz in China). Can anyone help me out with recommendations? The plane black candy bar is out, what else is there in a full featured phone?? Price is not a concern when it comes to my better half ;-)
MANY THANKS in advance!!!!
Coolest looking WM phone?
Hi,
I'm looking for a new phone for my wife, she hates the plain look of my Touch HD. What's the coolest/nicest looking full-featured phone you've seen? Price is not a concern...thanks a TON in advance for any suggestions!
go for a touch pro or get the new one when it comes out!
What about a Touch Diamond2, do you think she'd like that?
The Touch Diamond2 might look good on her...
I think she will love the Touch PRO 2 if she prefers having a keyboard, the HTC Advantage X7510 is too big for first time owners.
Don't go for the Sony X-peria, it has casing manufacturers defect.
diamond 2 looks good...
Thanks for the suggestions, please keep them coming! She's not into the keyboard at all, she actually really likes my Touch HD, if only it came in another color!!!

Get her an iPhone, my wife loves hers. And it is a real womens phone. It has everything that appeals to someone that is not serious about their phone. It is a serious piece of fluff and my wife loves it.
Best part is, you can play with it , and you don't have to admit that you own an iPhone.
