Is the Qualcomm ban settled and they are going to allow the 8925 into the U.S.? Last I heard, this was going to be banned.

It is banned as far as I know, but there has been nothing on the release of the 8925 which is supposed to be released prior to the Kaiser/TyTN II

I would hope that AT&T already has stock by now and they are just in their typical torture their customers for months mode.

Merged the two threads on the waiting for the release of the Tilt/Kaiser/8925

IF the September 3 release date is correct we only have 11 more days to wait!

AT&T rep told me today the phone would be released in the next 30 days unless there is a problem with the phone. I read somewhere the video conferencing would not be turned on with this phone. The rep told me this is partially true. He said they started testing this feature in Texas and it will spread to large markets next. Also if you work for the Government or Military the discounts they give are big, like 39% off what the store paid for the phone, 19% off your monthly bill and 25% off acces.

Hey... I get the gov't price :approve:

Lets assume the phone is $600 without contract... I could probably get it for $400 after discount. I have to check it out. I was going to buy a GPS soon anyway, so that is an extra $50-$100 savings as well

hmmm... perhaps not then... I built a package for giggles and this is what it gave me.



Perhaps the catalog pricing is different that what the cart does...

Not a bad price.

OK... I figured it out.

I accidentally built one of their package deals by accident. Which isn't bad BTW.

There is no denying your need... Just start skipping lunches and pocketing the money to save for the 8925!

It will be the must have. I think we are still jumping the gun on the GPS, I got a bad feeling about it!

Can you substantiate that? I have not seen anything official yet from AT&T.

Would the link below go some way to prove that GPS is indeed a function of the Kaiser or are you particular about the AT & T version?

I have absolutely no love for AT&T, but the Kaiser will be branded to AT&T as the 8925/Tilt. The advantage is that AT&T will sell it for substancially less money, probably 499 with a 100 dollar rebate and two year contract. HTC or mobiplant is in the pre-sale mode for $944.00 dollars. That's quite a bit more.

AT&T have continually dropped cool features to the re-branded devices they offer. Normally the front facing cam. But, AT&T just dropped the GPS from the BlackBerry 8820 as seen all over the internet and here:

Rumor: AT&T Crippling BlackBerry To Sell More iPhones

Which leads me to suspect that they may also have similar intentions with the 8925. Especially since we are nearing the rumored release of labor day here in the US and there has not been any leaked spec sheets on it. I'm just curious, like radimus, I am holding off on a stand alone gps waiting on news of the 8925. If the 8925 does not have gps, I will just keep my 8525 and by a stand alone gps unit.
