I've been using the Kaiser for a couple of weeks now (a test model) and it rocks!
Previously I had the Hermes, and this one is so much sleeker. Design is better. It is visibly thinner.
The only problem I have is probably with the radio. It doesnt seem to have the same signal I got with the Hermes. (In my office, I used to have 2-3 bars with Hermes. This one gives me 1-2 bars)
Other than that it's awesome!
Could you please confirm if it has 128 mb of RAM, because mostly I can read about 64MB

hey bouaroudj. ive been really excited about the kaiser's qualcomm 7200 graphics chip. ive done comparisons to it and the dell axim's intel 2700 graphics accelerator and the kaiser's is much better. anyway, on a normal 400mhz device COD2 will run just fine. so im sure it will be the same. now what we really need testing is a PS1 emulator, and Quake 3. Those things will really tell us how good the kaiser is. =)
Video on the new Kaiser
The new Kaiser is really a great deal and it's a most solid PDA I have never seen. I had seen a detail hand on video on this new kaiser at http://mymobile911.com
can you post the rom version you are using?
I tried running cod setup and on both computers it tells me try freeing up harddrive space and trying again.. anyone know whats up with that? I have mucho gig's left on both.

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
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

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

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.

Need For Speed Undercover seems to be hardware accelerated on my htc diamond. Can anybody confirm this? or is my impression?
see the difference between the graphics of another device and the diamond!

DIAMOND
judging from the quality of the textures i doubt it
don't look very good
looks as if something any pda would run well
hi,
What do you think about this game ? I hesitate to purchase it.
How smooth is the scrolling on the Diamond ?
Is the touchscreen usable ?
thanks,

but look at the difference of the first three images (other devices) between the diamond. In the latter the graphics look better. How do you explain then?
Just tested it, it is definitely accelerated, the graphics are quite good actually, and it is very smooth. Using the udK R3 ROM, it is very smooth.

I have NFS undercover aswell and yes it's definitely hardware accelerated on the Diamond and it runs supersmooth!!
Btw. People reports that this game runs like crap on the Dell Axim X51v with it's 624 MHz Intel XScale CPU
In Need For Speed do you control the car by accelerometer or somehow else?
I just got this game off of the sprint store. It's hardware accelerated alright. It runs at similar graphics and frame rate of a nintendo DS game. It's fun. you control it with on-screen buttons.
I use the hardware buttons in landscape mode for more flexibility (to drift curve and press simultaneously)

Did you see my response to that on the same "place" ot was reported it runs crap on the x51v?
Yup I saw it in the same place 2 guys with x51v's complained about very bad performance...
It's indeed nice that our Diamonds can outperform that 624 Mhz cpu in some games

I assume without the driver, you would have 1-2 fps in the quality displayed when running accelerated NFS.
Nope, I have completely removed the ati driver a while ago and now have only the htc d3dm driver and it runs extremely great... Also my registry points to the htc driver so I guess it ain't that bad after all...
I also have this game and it works really well. The on screen keys work well for this game also. Definitely worth getting.

That's what you get when you code to a specific architecture rather than to standards. Making corporations to even _try_ to follow that standards is an even more dantic task, so i find your bashing of the axim *g* very annoying. remember, Stuntcar Extreme which is fluid on the axim, runs at 3 frames per second on the diamond. see what i mean?
Am I the only one that can smell the bullshot. Aftet all the rumours, I thoght I'd take the plunge. Initial impressions eere that I must've got a QVGA software accelerated version. Turns out that all the screenshots corroborate the bs attempt by EA. EA has basically started a contract with MS to provide ots games for the WM platform (wonder if Apple needed a contract with EA.) but basically EA has spat in MS' face. Just look at what the game is like accelrrated on the iPhail on youtube... and cry.
how do you guys play this game? is there a way to activate an on-screen controller? i keep pressing the other keys (home, call, end, back) while trying to press left and right...
Now we all were informed: there won't be an official WM6.5-Update for the X1. *KLICK*
I anyway never believed in an update containing 6.5. Still hope for R4A with final-release of the new panelmanager and camera aso. .
Ahem....

they would not say if there will be or not, its the right thing to do, if they do, it would hurt sales, especially if they are going to give the x1 the new panel manager
about the new panel manager; lets hope they do even if its wm 6.1, because to have 2 xperias that cannot run all the panels is not a good plan for a company...just imagine windows releasing vista= .exe and windows 7= .exg | OS X 10.5= .dmg and OS X 10.6= .dmh
that is what you call bull$%^t
they need to have all the panels to be compatible with the new panel manager and the new panel manager should be available for all wm xperias, even if we don't get the 6.5, the new panel manager is the main thing needed
They will never do it, because it will hurt their X2 sales. Why would anyone want the X2 if they have 6.5 on their X1? The only reason would be the 1ghz processor..... oh wait....
but thats only for the x1 customers really
just as a random note for you guys. although there's no offical wm6.5 rom out. I did find a non-offical 6.5 rom that I was able to use. It probably is a fake, but then it looks quite good to me.
We have an amazing community here at XDA with great cooks so official or not, the ROMs are superb! and we have many to choose from and can even make our own. I'm sure someone will release the new panel thing to us sooner or later.

The list is very small.
Surely if there is an offical xip they must be planing to release and update otherwise why go to the effort of creating it.
Just got of the phone with X1 support in the uk they have confirmed that we will not get an affical 6.5 update and no idea whether we will get new panel manger either.
So im with Rota it's up to us (by us i mean the superb chefs we have on xda) to look after us.
Real X1 XIP
How can there be a real XIP for custom ROM's if SE are not releasing a 6.5 upgrade?
