Right, we all know just how much faster 3G data speeds are in comparison to EDGE speeds. Theoretical speeds are one thing, straight-up throughput numbers are impressive, but what about the most important aspect of any device’s wireless data connection - actual web-browsing performance? Unless you’re one of the harder-core mobile warriors that uses their mobile phone as a wireless modem (tethered to a laptop), chances are your cellphone’s data connection is predominantly used to serve up webpages on your handset’s display. So, just how much faster does a 3G data connection allow you to surf the web? Or, conversely, just how much does the iPhone’s EDGE-only data connection slow down the web-surfing experience? (Hint: not that slow) Well, we set to find out exactly what kind of load-times you can expect in real-world situations and with real-world devices. For this test we used an AT&T Tilt 8925 ( HTC Kaiser TyTn II ) on AT&T’s 3G network, and squared it off against an Apple iPhone on AT&T’s EDGE network. Webpage load-times were the focus of this test, and load-times were rounded down to the nearest second. Load-times were recorded from the moment the page started to load until the status-bar indicated that the page was finished loading (until the progress indicator-bar disappeared). Hit the link for the video. Hypothesis : Webpage load-times are bottlenecked by the device’s processing power and page-rendering technology. This should result in similar load-times between the iPhone and the Tilt. Results : What we found was completely expected. There’s more at play then just throughput. The iPhone’s web-kit based Safari browser allowed it to load pages almost as fast as the AT&T Tilt. We used the Pocket Internet Explorer that comes pre-installed on the Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional-based AT&T Tilt - and it proved to be the device’s downfall. Both devices had similar processor speeds, so...

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.

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!

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!
