BGR Is One Lucky Guy: Unboxing The HTC Kaiser
"As you can imagine, we've seen our share of devices here at BGR, and I personally have combed through almost all. Let's start it off like this�the HTC Kaiser is the best darn Pocket PC I have ever used! It really has everything you have come to expect nowadays."

Can you believe it? By my count, this is the third unboxing BGR have done in the past week, all'of'em just-released/yet-to-be-released devices. If the quote above sounds like hyperbole, it's at least partially justified. The Kaiser is arguably more than just a minor Hermes update, though current Hermes owners might not find an upgrade justified just yet. For the rest of us (with the possible exception of Athena owners), if you're on the market, don't miss this mighty mite - it looks like it's going to live up to its name.

The SIM card slot appears to be underneath the slide-out QWERTY keyboard...cool! I'm still a little unconvinced about the tilted keyboard slide though.

Wow very nice indeed. I mean compared to the iMate JasJam's 64MB RAM and 128MB ROM (which I think is still good), the Kaisers 128MB RAM and 256MB is fantastic!
Love the color too

Looks like a very nice device. I'll have to add it to my list of possible upgrade devices.

According to the article ( http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2007/...iser-unboxing/) it won't be here until July 2007. (But that's better than the Shift, which won't arrive until October 2007).

Does anyone know which (or if any) US carriers will be selling/supporting this when it comes out?
I have an 8525 (which I love), and this Kaiser looks awesome. I'd love to get my hands on it and, depending on the price, I may disagree that it's not worth the upgrade...

May have found my next device. Absolutely love my Artemis but find that I'm missing the keyboard of my old Wizard as I am doing more texting these days. Have to weigh the extra size against the most likely better performance & keyboard. Have a while to decide it seems...

i think pdadb.net tates release date to be august '07. Seeing as how trends go with devices to be released, i'd say end of september with an american carrier picking it up 2-3 months afterwards.
I was convinced that my next device would be bought from a US carrier as an "upgrade" because i'm sick of paying the international prices ($800+) but now that i think of it, i'm gonna stick to paying $800+!!! So i plan to pick this up on Ebay or some other site when its available.
