In America, the Kaiser for AT&amp;T will be known as "The Tilt." Take a look, you'll see why. Expect it in two versions, one with the cameras removed, as AT&amp;T does for many of its business-focused phones.</p></blockquote> </p><p>Editor's Note: I don't care what they call it....just get it here...ASAP! ~Susan </p><p>Source: <a title="" href="http://crunchgear.com/2007/08/08/htc-kaiser-at-coming-soon/">CrunchGear</a></p><P><P><a href="http://mobilitysite.com/?p=5442">View Original Blog Post</a>

Here's the reply I got from a friend at ATT in Atlanta

"My product guy said we are testing……not sure on when we releasing…..probably September-ish. "

I am waiting!!!

With the ruling about Qualcomm processors, this thing may never make it to the US.

I have a really hard time calling a 400MHz device without VGA a "high-end" device.

Wow. How the bar has been lowered...

Maybe if you included VGA (or better) display and gave me a 600+MHz processor (like we had before convergence) and I'd consider calling that device "high-end", the Kaiser? No.

I have to agree with you. Don't get me wrong, I still love the Kaiser, but I too would love to see a VGA screen and a faster processor. I know some will say that it draws a lot of battery power. To that, I have a couple of options. For the processor, I'd like to see a scalable processor so that you can choose to run at full speed when you need the power, or dial back on the clock speed if you need it to hold out on battery strength. As for the VGA screen, I would give up some battery for a clearer screen!!

Again, I will want to get a Kaiser because it is a very cool device on paper, but those are some things I would wish to see.

While I would like a VGA screen, unless it was an inch or two larger...qvga is fine for this.

If the thing's battery is twice the size as the 8525, I'll buy it in a heartbeat. a $600.00 heartbeat

AT&T will release it September 3rd...

The qualcomm processor is supposed to be better than the current 400 mhz processor in just about everything. ;lso there is a much better 3 mp camera with auto focus. I did I mention GPS! I am psoting this from my 8525 with q qwerty keyboard that the axim does not have. I really don't care aboutg vga screen, but I would like to see vga out first. Then 3.5 audeo jack... Lastly, there is a good chance at&t will leave the front facing vga camera too. How can you say this device is not awesome!
