Default Are HTC making right and left handed versions?

My Kaiser arrived yesterday. Prior to this I have used a TyTn. The keyboard on the TyTn slides left to right. When you hold it you push with your thumb, which for a right handed person is on the inside (left side) of the handset.

My new Kaiser slides right to left. Have I been sold a left-handed version? Can I buy a right-handed version?

Any one know?

the wing also opens the same way. if you look at the main page of the forum you can see all pics of the phones and how they open. there are supposed to be 3 versions on the p4550, but the all open the same way, with the only difference between the types being the amount of installed cameras....

By my standards the Tilt is a right handed phone when compaired to my 8125 which was a simple thumb slide for my left hand... With the Tilt however, I must first turn CW and then slide it.

I thought of the same thing. Im a lefty and the 8525 is perfect for me, then when i got the Tilt, its a challenge for me to open the phone. But it's really no biggie.
