  • Unlock your AT&T Tilt 8925 to work on any GSM network - Turn your AT&T Tilt into an HTC Kaiser TyTn II

    While HTC Kaiser TyTn II owners are enjoying the ability to surf any GSM network in the world, AT&T customers with a brand-new AT&T Tilt 8925 are stuck with the AT&T-flavored GSM network. Nevermind that HTC has been sued over the lack of a graphics hardware driver , a problem which also afflicts the HTC Kaiser TyTn II. HTC sells their mobile phones unlocked out of the box, but AT&T locked the GSM radio in their version of the HTC Kaiser - until now. XDA-Developer forums user, jockyw2001, has posted instructions on how to fully unlock ( SIM unlock ) your AT&T Tilt 8925 to work on any GSM network in your country. And, if you need to travel abroad and your AT&T Tilt doesn’t like to play nice on foreign networks, jockyw2001 has posted instructions to make that happen as well ( SuperCID ). Head on over to XDA-Developer forums to get your hands on the AT&T Tilt unlock and SuperCID solutions .

  • Internal AT&T site foretells Tilt launch

    Filed under: Handsets , HTC , ATT , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS We figure this website wasn't intended for public consumption -- either that, or we're all invited to the "2007 National Launch Tour" for the imminently available AT&T Tilt, and we should be speaking to our regional sales managers immediately to confirm our eligibility. The picture here looks pretty much like what we'd seen of the HTC Kaiser variant in the wild, confirming that the front cam is gone (no surprise), though it's a little chubbier looking than we thought, yeah? Or is it just us? Anyway, the site gives nary a clue about when we might actually be able to get a Tilt in our hands simply by walking into a store, but happily, everything we've heard still points to an October launch. Now if you'll excuse us, we're going to go track down our regional sales manager. [Thanks, regenC] Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
  • First pics of the AT&T branded HTC Kaiser TyTn II - the AT&T Tilt is so close we can taste it

    The HTC Kaiser (aka TyTn II, P4550, AT&T 8925 Tilt) is the “ holy grail ” of smartphone-ing. It packs the “perfect” feature set that has eluded mobile fanatics for some time now - and the AT&T subsidized version of the Kaiser is almost here. The European HTC Kaiser TyTn II has already launched, so we already know that the Kaiser’s blazing 400Mhz CPU, 2.8-inch touchscreen, 3 megapixel autofocus camera, GPS, WiFi, 3G (HSDPA), gobs of RAM/ROM, and full QWERTY keyboard - all powered by Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional - is the “holy of holies” that we’ve been searching for. AT&T should be dropping their own version of this baddest-ass smartphone sometime soon - as the AT&T 8925 Tilt (a fitting name, given the Kaiser’s cool, tilting slider-display). We still don’t have a hard launch date, but if online retailer Negri Electronics is on the money, we could see AT&T drop the “Tilt” on us come September 30. Negri is taking pre-orders on the AT&T 8925 and 8900 (without camera) and claims that they’ll have these badboys in stock by the end of the month. They’ve even posted pics of what seems to be an AT&T-branded Kaiser. We’ll keep you updated on the latest AT&T 8925 Tilt developments as we hear of them. It would be a shame if our Canadian friends got their hands on a Rogers Wireless-branded HTC Kaiser before us Yankees. The AT&T Tilt is so close we can taste it - and it tastes just like we expected. Slightly QWERTY-sweet with a kick of 3G-spice. Now we just need some pics of a T-Mobile branded HTC Kaiser - that would be nice.

  • AT&T Tilt delayed a few weeks?

    Filed under: Handsets , HTC , ATT , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS Unlocked Kaisers are already available from your friendly local importer (and yes, it rocks, by the way), but if on-contract AT&T pricing is more to your liking, the wait may have just gotten a little longer. We're hearing unconfirmed reports that the 8925 Tilt -- AT&T's branded version of the Kaiser -- has been pushed back a few weeks from its September 25 release window thanks to some pesky network certification issues. You know, those tests that cause a phone mentioned in December of one year to be released late the following year (pardon if we sound bitter). Anyway, the phones have apparently been shipped back to HTC for some last-minute rejiggering; with any luck, we'll still see 'em before October's out if the rumor's true. If this ends up being nothing more than a case of a few misinformed AT&T reps, though, make sure to bring enough cash on your shopping trip next Tuesday for both the Tilt and Halo 3, k?

  • Updated look at AT&T's upcoming launches

    Filed under: HTC , LG , Motorola , Nokia , Others , Pantech , RIM , Sony Ericsson , UTStarcom , ATT , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS We've just been tipped on a fresh roadmap for AT&T's fall launches, and goodness, there's a little something for everyone in here! Note that these are order dates, subject to change -- not necessarily in-store dates -- so your mileage may vary trying to grab these devices on the dates you see here. First up, LG rolls out the CG180 and CU515 "Chiwoo" on October 2. Nokia adds another color for the 6555 on October 11, red, which we think will suite it quite nicely. Speaking of new colors, Sony Ericsson brings a black version of the W580i on October 9. The Pantech Duo -- a device we suspect many folks are getting fired up over -- should hit on the same day. From Motorola, the Q9 Global becomes orderable just a few days from now, September 25, alongside the Tilt from HTC. UTStarcom outs the AMOI-sourced 5700 on October 9, giving folks a low cost (albeit non-3G) Windows Mobile option. RIM gets busy with the Curve 8310 on October 4, effectively sunsetting the original 8300 by adding GPS into the mix. On the data modem side, Sierra and Option will both be contributing HSUPA devices in October. Let's hear it for speedy uploads! Follow the break for the full roadmap.

  • Possible launch details for AT&T Tilt, Duo, Inferno

    Engadget Mobile seems to have gotten the downlow on AT&T’s pricing schedule for their October lineup. The high-anticipated HTC Kaiser TyTN II, otherwise known as the AT&T Tilt 8925 looks to be hitting AT&T for $299 or $374 on a one-year and two-year contract, respectively. The Pantech Duo will be going for the right-old price of $199 on a two-year service agreement - which is a bit more than what Amazon is already offering for the dual-sliding Pantech C810 Duo. And, rounding out the smartphone offerings from AT&T, the Motorola Q9h will be hitting US airwaves in October at a $299 price point (with 2-year contract, of course). Nokia will also be getting in on AT&T’s October launch goodness with their Nokia 6555 Inferno 3G clamshell - which will go for $49.99 with new contract. Keep an eye out for AT&T and their October lineup. We can’t wait to get the Motorola Q9h and AT&T Tilt 8925 in our hands. Those are going to be some sexy smartphones, but we like our smartphones like our women - with a little meat and substance on them bones. The AT&T Tilt 8925 is the smartphone that’s making all of us squirm in our seats for a chance to take it for a spin.

  • Tilt, Duo, Inferno, and Q9h to blow out AT&T's October?

    Filed under: Handsets , HTC , Motorola , Nokia , Pantech , ATT , Windows Mobile , GSM , GPRS , HSDPA , UMTS These are all devices we know folks have been waiting for, so we're delighted to finally hear some whipsers that launch windows are being put in place. First up, the AT&T Tilt -- alias 8925, alias Kaiser -- is rumored to be priced at $299 on a two-year or $374 on a one-year agreement. The Pantech Duo, which Amazon jumped the gun on over the weekend, will be launching for $199 on a two-year, which makes the Amazon pricing a bargain already. The Nokia 6555 "Inferno" gets priced at $49.99 on contract -- a steal for a sharp lookin' 3G flip, we figure. Last but not least, the Motorola Q9 global finally materializes for a cool $299, putting it head to head with the Tilt. All four of these are supposedly scheduled for shipment to stores on October 1, making for a very interesting month. Everyone know which of the four they're choosing yet?

  • HTC website leaks AT&T Tilt, BlackBerry Connect support

    Filed under: Handsets , Software , HTC , RIM , ATT , Windows Mobile , GSM , GPRS , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS In case there was any lingering doubt that AT&T would pick up the Kaiser as the successor to its 8525 , this should put all those nasty thoughts to rest. Paul from MoDaCo has noticed that HTC's US site now rocks a guide to setting up BlackBerry Connect on the AT&T 8925 "Tilt," confirming several notable things: one, that AT&T is getting the device, two, that it's called the Tilt and its model number is 8925, and three, that it'll support BlackBerry Connect. Sadly, HTC's apparent misstep (or clever leak designed to get us all foaming at the mouth, depending on how you look at it) reveals nothing about a Tilt release date, but we've gotta think it's coming before too long now.

  • AT&T Tilt slated for launch on September 3rd

    We now have more solid launch details for the recently renamed AT&T Tilt . CrunchGear reports that the AT&T Tilt, formerly known as the HTC Kaiser /TyTn II/ P4550 and the AT&T 8925 , will be getting it’s feet wet on the US carrier’s network on September 3. Signing on for 2-years of AT&T servitude will net you the “Holy Grail” of mobile phones for just $499. With the powerful CPU, full QWERTY-keyboard, GPS, 3G, and WiFi, the AT&T Tilt/HTC Kaiser is going to be the baddest kid on the WM6-block. We can’t wait to get our hands on this thing, it’s just going to hurt our wallets. Looks like we’re eating noodles for the next few weeks. We’ll keep you updated, stay tuned!

  • HTC Kaiser almost here - passes FCC muster!

    It’s almost here! How do we know? Well, aside from the rumors that AT&T may be picking up the HTC Kaiser as the AT&T 8925, we just got word that the Kaiser has just passed muster with the FCC overlords. The FCC filing shows three variants KAIS100, KAIS110, and the KAIS120 - we’re thinking one of them might be headed to AT&T (with or without that forward facing camera is still unknown). We can’t tell you much more than that - the confidentiality agreement is set to expire on September 8 (interesting point in and of itself). The HTC Kaiser’s passing of FCC testing bodes well for rumors indicating a possible August release , but is contradicted by the confidentiality agreements expiry date. So, all we know for now is that the HTC Kaiser is imminent. When and on what carrier are still an unknown. We’ll keep you updated, stay tuned!

  • AT&T may be prepping HTC Kaiser for August release as the AT&T 8925

    Ahh, the HTC Kaiser. We’ve been waiting for this incredible Windows Mobile smartphone for so long now, it’s amazing to think that it’s just around the proverbial corner. With a spec sheet that boasts 3G, QWERTY keyboard (with that super-trick spring-loaded, flip-up sliding screen), WiFi, GPS (!), and Windows Mobile, the Kaiser is as good as Widows Mobile gets. The HTC Kaiser is the likely successor to AT&T’s 8525 (HTC TyTn /Hermes), and rumored to be getting branded as the AT&T 8925. With T-mobile Germany already getting its hands on the Kaiser as the MDA Vario III, we gotta believe that it’s headed for Yankee shores soon. We have reason to believe that the iPhone carrier may release the AT&T 8925 sometime in August . As usual, we’ll keep grinding away at the rumor mill. Stay tuned for more info!
