Default 8925 is now the AT&T Tilt.

according to HowardForums, AT&T will call the Kaiser The "Tilt".

It's supposed to look just like the Kaiser 100 model.
What's your guy's opinions on this new name? i myself think it sounds better than numbers for a phone name (8925).

il call it the kaiser too (to friends of mine who know it was called the kaiser), but when refering it to other people it's much easier to call it a name they can remember, rather than trying to have them remember numbers. im talkin the people of the US.

the Tilt is way better name than ATT 8925. At least you can market the "Tilt".

Regular consumers don't remember names like 3125 or 8525. It is a no brainer on At&t's part to start changing it up.

Tilt actually sounds cool! Let's just hope that the branding guy won't make a mistake by forgetting to type "l" and mass produce the device!

Default Wirefly lists it as 8925 but not available yet

Wirefly has a listing, without price or availability date, http://www.wirefly.com/catalog/at&t/htc/8925/, and also in the features list says "2 Cameras! a 3 Megapixel Camera/Camcorder To Capture The Moment, and a VGA Camera For Video Sharing"

In Denver we're supposed to get 3G in October, so if the phone is available in November, that will be close to perfect for me!

I just visited the new AT&T Experience store in Atlanta -- one of the sales guys there told me they recently met with a HTC rep and were told to expect the Tilt/Kaiser/8925 before the end of the month. I couldn't get any more details out of him, unfortunately.

wow but you actually were able to talk to a guy at the AT&T store that actually had heard of HTC or knew of the 8925. im surprised, here in Everett Washington I havnt been able to find anyone at an AT&T store that knows anything about the Kaiser.


well hopefully "before the month" IS infact that August 22nd date. =)
