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.

$ 349 with 2 year sign up and data (though I imagine corp will be much cheaper)

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.

New iphone??
Seems like 3G iphone is ready for delivery. I wonder if it has GPS as well. That could very well make it something to consider as an alternative to the Kaiser... I love my Kaiser, but my wife has an iphone and it does do certain things better. With Jailbreak, there are plenty of cool apps too. I even found a voice command app. Pretty much fill most of the gaps...
but it still doesnt have the hardware qwerty keyboard for me and i'm not a iphone fanboy...just me though
I'll jump ship to the iphone if they update their browser to support flash. i'm still disappointed that after all this time (deepfish, opera 9.5 beta) their isnt a comparable browser out there for windows mobile. Opera mini is really good, but not as good as it could get
Steve Jobs is going to have a press conference on monday 6/9 (which is today for some users). I hear that at&t were able to get him to commit to release the new iphone at $199.99 w/2 year contract.

inside info suggest that the device will start below current two year contract price or significantly less I received information that the device would be between 199.99-299.99. We will see in about 12 hrs if Jobs mentions pricing.

Vodacom which has the largest user base in South Africa has been granted the distribution rights for the Iphone. Vodacom is 50% owned by Vodafone and 50% by Telkom, the local fixed line operator.
We will be getting the gereration 2 version, but apart from it's 3G capabilities we will have to wait for the announcement today. Shipping will apparently start immediately.
The only down side here is that we do not have a Itunes Store so we cannot use that side of it's functionality.

Howzit basilrsa,
Nice to know that there are other South Africans here!!!
I am not an iPhoney fan anyway, so I will wait for the TyTN III or the SE Xperia X1 maybe.
In the meantime my TyTN II ROCKS!!!
Again, good to meet you boet!!!

WWDC starts at 10 AM PDT, we will get the final specifications then but sites like engadget say:
- It will be 3G (a given, any phone is nowadays)
- But it will not have a front-facing camera for videoconferencing (it seems that it's not a known thing in USA, so if USA does not want it, Apple does not include it)
- It will have GPS receiver (nothing surprising, adding GPS to a phone is only $5)
- No hardware keyboard, typing with finger on a 2.8" screen does not convince me
- As always, closed system, very vendor-centric, very few applications you can run there.
I thought they moved to an open source setup.
I know this is a dumb question, but I rather ask then not know at all. Will the 3G IPhone be able to flash the Window 6.1 instead of there OS. I ask because I don't know if it was a Hoax or if it was for real.......I saw a Iphone that had the WM6 on it. This was a while ago that I saw it............
edit:
I looked more closely, it's not only a hoax it is a fake Iphone...........I'm sorry for this waste of space I just used up..
3g Iphone....
So 199 out July 11th... think it will be unlocked by then? If so might need to try it out, even though I hate apple with a passion.
Just announced... 3G iPhone... For those who care, Engadget link.
I'm thinking I'm going to try out that new iphone. If it sucks and I don't like it, I'm only out $200 and then I can most likely sell it on ebay for more than i paid...haha.
is it 200 with a new contract or without?
i'd suspcect with
as apple cant get their cut of each mb downloaded if iphone3gs are sold without a contract
Personally I still cringe inside regarding the Iphone. My next phone will be either a X1, HTC Touch Diamond Pro, or the Nokia N96 (can't go wrong with an internal 16GB + SD slot for additional memory + accelatometer(sp?). Variety and change is always good though.
I'm sad that it still uses the same lame camera
I kinda wanted an iPhone but only if it had GPS...the new one does....hmmmm....let's see!!!

Please help. I am torn between getting the Apple Iphone and the HTC Touch Diamond 2. I think i'm set on the diamond 2 but I've read about a lot of niggly problems with it which is preventing me from making the step. For example, the mp3 player.
Is it really that good?
Any advice is hugely appreciated!
MP3 player? well let me tell you one thing, i had 2 ipods one for the office and one for home.
NOW I am afraid that they have become obsolete to me, since i got my 32GB memory card. TD2 will do it! but bear in mind that you will be putting some pressure on your battery if you are using the device for the gps, phone and mp3.
Anyway i bought myslef xpal xp2000 just in case i run out of power.
Anyway getting back to your question, there is nothing wrong withthe mp3 and if you are not happy with the default player, you can instal many free 3rd party's software, like oxygen or S2P...
WITH THE DIAMOND2,THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!!!
I RECOMMEND IT
I HAVE HAD THESE PHONES FOR YEARS SINCE THE FIRST XDA GENERATION
i was torn like you before, cause i like apple so much, but who make my mind to have my diamond 2 that i found IPhone every time they will release an OS version you need to wait for the jalibreak to run your application from Cydia etc,,,,,,. which will make me unable to test and play with my phone as i would like. So i Decided to get my Diamond 2 and i am happy with it.
It was the freedom to install what you like on the phone that tempted me...and that it will get Windows Mobile 6.5 later in the year to iron out any niggles you mioght find. I'd also say that although people seem to hate them, the option to use a stylus every now and again does come in handy - you can type far faster with the stylus than the iphone touch keyboard, and you can write or draw notes in something like EverNote (very cool app).
One other point that few people seem to mention...the TD2 is much much (much!) cheaper than the iphone. I got mine through mobiles.co.uk for free at £30 a month for more texts and minutes than I'll ever need plus mobile internet. AND £40 cashback that pays for a nice big SD card to store your music! No brainer if you ask me...

If you don't mind me asking, which network have you signed up to because I was told that O2's contract does not include free wifi and internet usage and on the mobiles.co.uk webiste, it doesn't state whether the orange contracts do either

It was the "Orange Dolphin 40" - afraid you'll need the 24 month contract to get the mobile browsing. If you click on the TD2 from the mobiles.co.uk home page, then select the orange tab it should be listed as including 500mb data - that's your mobile browsing. Not exactly "unlimited" but it is the same in practice as o2's mobile browsing deal and more than enough for me as I use the wi-fi at home and work anyway.
How long did it take for you to receive the cash back offer from mobiles.co.uk?

Cheque arrived yesterday! That's with me placing the order originally on 14 May. They actually wait 14 days after you receive the phone (you can send it back in that period if you're not happy) then it's supposed to be another 14 to 28 days after that. Were pretty prompt with me though.
Of course if you're happy to wait longer, you get a much better deal with the 9 months half price offer - they send a cheque every 3 months I think.

Good choice, and hope you have fun with the phone. I should be charging them commission though...
I realise you already ordered yours, but for others considering the TD2, I am looking at http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/Brands/HTC/b509/n447/p10957.aspx
mobile phones Direct
The contract I'm looking at is the T-Mobile Combi 30 +Web n Walk,
This gives 300mins, 200 Texts + the standard Web n Walk web allowance.
For: £35 a month, with the phone costing £33.
(I know it doesn't mention web on the 'Text & Web' bit, but I emailed them and the confirmed it does include it)
Seems a good deal, I've just got to persuade myself now!

hey guys!
I'm a looong time lurker here, but now I thought I'll ask for advice
Now that google is phasing out the nexus, is it a good idea to buy a spare? I totally love mine, and am not a big gamer.I just love to tinker
Thanks!
The person who can answer that the best is you really. Unless you planned on using the nexus one for the next 2 yrs or so, I don't think it's a good idea. There'd be so much better phone by year's end or next year.
Hi!
I was a bit vague on my reasons The Nexus is my first Android phone (didn't want an iphone for obvious reasons - closed...), but used numerous winmo smartphones before. I decided on the N1 due to its "openness" (easyly unlockable bootloader, plethora of CMs...)
As I said, gaming is not high on mylist, so 3d performance and the touchscreen issues are not a bother for me. However, in terms of raw power the N1 one is still a lively beast with a dedicated dev scene.
So, to sum up: the N1 does everything for me. What worries me is that today's phones are not built for longevity, and now that the N1's availability is in question (I'm in CEE), I'm thinking of buying another one just to be safe. Or am I just paranoid to think my Nexus won't last 1.5 years??
Phasing out the Nexus? Just because they are no longer selling them on their store does not mean, to me, that they are phasing it out. They are planning to sell them directly through retail outlets.
Anyway, I don't see a value in having a spare. They are easy enough to get.
I will sell u mine
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Won't it be harder to get later? I saw a price hike after the announcement was made - by the retail shops here in Hungary that is...
I wouldn't bother. Within the next 6-12 months there will be a better phone around. Instead of sitting on a phone, get some hookers and coke.
@JCopernicus, been there, done that I think it all boils down to when a new dev phone will arrive ( if ever) from google
wil there be any nexus or something new from google?

Are you NUTS?!
Even after Google "discontinues" selling the N1 you will still be able to purchase the N1 for an extra $25 by just creating a developer account...

All,
tmobile lowered the price on the l90 from 220 to 99
i dont know for how long so, i hunt for one today locally and no luck
out of stock... but they stock them daily... ups get the shipments on the local branches
between 10 am and 2 pm so you can be at 10 at the branch and hunt for the ups truck
what i did is go to best buy and they got them in stock locally at 179... but they will price match.. so they price match mine
also you can go on the tmobile site and get it there... i prefered to get it locally but online was my plan b
in case i cant get it locally
at 100 bux is a no brainer
is the moto g similar to the l90 ?
Enjoy
Rolo.
Picked up one for my son a couple days ago. I went in to get him a Sammy Galaxy Light cuz it's only $100, and they pointed out the L90 being on sale for the same price. Like you said - no brainer.
snagged one
I got one this past weekend, pretty nice device.... Waiting to hear when more come in to upgrade a relative too..... Motorola should take note on how SD cards are suppose to work in phones, Moto G LTE is a nightmare......
I'm super happy with mine...already rooted it
And supposedly boot unlocked...now imnwaiting for a stable version of cm11
Picked one up today to replace my Xperia ion from AT&T. Kinda nervous about its data speeds, but I'm beyond excited about ir. My achilles heel is remote controls; my tv remote covers my tv power, volume, and input switching, I use the u-verse app or real remote for u-verse tv but it doesn't do volume, and I use keyboard or app for my openelec xbmc htpc. While I anticipate some fumbling between apps, at least I can do it all with one device.
I got 7-10 Mbit dl speeds where i live and 2mbit up speeds....love the remote app but it only have major manufacturer of LCD listed so if u have a Westinghouse...insignia or Emerson or haier u are out of luck
great phone, fast, light, decent camera.
one HUGE issue (other than lack of XDA type development): Battery life is extremely unpredictable.
sometime it can go 3 days (72 hours) between charge with 1-2 hrs screen on time, wifi + 3g.
sometime it'll die in 12 hrs with 0 screen on time, 0 usage.
"Android OS" is shown as biggest battery drain but thanks to google's infinite wisdom to block battery/wakelock viewing, I can't figure out what's causing it. Full factory reset with no account syncing doesn't help.
likely cause is bad wifi driver because when it's in death mode, wifi refuses to connect to network and have to be cycled off/on.
TL;DR: Warning, your $100 phone may run out of battery under 12 hours with zero usage.

Rolo... Just wanted to give you a big THANK YOU!
Dude... I had just run across this device surfing the web yesterday and decided to give it a try.. From what I read, it was a pretty good device for under $200.00..
Then checking here to see if there was any development going on with it, I ran across your "Heads-Up" post..
Dude.. you saved me $88.00 Bucks!!!
BestBuy price matched for me as well..
I was able to get a New Edger, and a set of Wheels for my Lawn Mower with $35.00 bucks to spare with the savings.... :good:
Thanks to you Rolo.......... Good Reporting My Friend.. after Rooting, Animation Adjustment and Nova Prime, the L90 simply flies
Don't know why some are having such poor battery performance.. mine is great. :good:

I think what the other poster meant about the $24.99 price is that T-Mobile is only offering it to their contract customers (postpaid) as opposed to their no-contract customers (prepaid). You'd only see the $24.99 price if you were logged into their site and were a contract customer with a year or more history with them.

I have the no contract Simple Choice T-Mobile plan, and since I am a valued customer (bills paid all on time for 12 months) my L90 cost me $50 including tax. Still, $50 is an AMAZING deal for this phone (heck, I'd be fine even with the $99 personally).
I picked one of these up this week but the only one I could find required I buy a Sim starter kit ($10) and a $30 Tmobile card. I'm using it on Ultra Mobile so I didn't need those but I'll keep the SIM kit and the family has other plans with Tmobile I can use the $30 on. I purchased an unlock code but didn't even need to unlock it. I think it was unlocked out of the box.
Yeah. I found out when I got mine that the SIM on this phone is smaller than my previous SIM. I got the Boost equivalent for my girl, too, since her phone's battery life sucked.
