HTC P4550 "Kaiser" gets name, meet the HTC TyTN II

The GCF (Global Certification Forum for GSM and UMTS devices) has just approved the naming for HTC's upcoming flagship monster: the handset formerly known as Kaiser. OK, the naming is just getting silly with HTC devices, with the P4550 -- a.k.a. Kaiser -- now getting an extra a.k.a. thrown in as the HTC TyTN II. Sure, the name does make sense as it really just improves on the TyTN we all know and love, but we're thinking the Kaiser or P4550 was just fine. Also mentioned are a few carrier branded names to further muddy the waters with the Vodafone 1615, SFRv1615, the Swisscom XPA1615, and the rumored AT&T 8925 as examples. Manager of handset naming conventions over at HTC seriously has to get off the heavy caffeine doses as his twitchiness is making our heads spin over here.

Get some 3G up T-Mobile so I can buy one of these.

Don't forget the at&t "Tilt".

With every new headline about the Kaiser and the growing rumors of AT&T getting it, I despise T-Mobile USA more and more...

I truly must own this phone. Please AT&T, if you do one cool thing this year, pick up this phone before January!

damnit. I was all happy we finally got the Mogul over at Sprint and frikkin AT&T gets the Kaiser. Blargh.
Maybe I need to look into switching providers. I wonder how much internet is for AT&T. *researches*

What problems have come up using the HTC TyTN II (Kaiser) with T-Mobile?
...Using my T-Mobile network I had the AT&T 8525 (HTC) unlocked and couldn't get the picture messaging to work. I entered the changes T-Mobile requested into the device and it still didn't work, I think it had to do with the "POP" setting? Everything worked good other than the picture messaging...
