HTC website leaks AT&T Tilt, BlackBerry Connect support

by Chris Ziegler, posted Sep 5th 2007 at 8:58AM

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.

The Kaiser looks like an awesome phone and it has aweosme specs.... but with my previous WM5/6 experience (the OS not the phone)... i am very careful about trying another WM Device... I just got a BB curve and i am loving the stability.

Who knows..... maybe in the future i may be willing to try it again...

cg006, I agree. I was an very early adopter of the 8525, I walked out of the store with mine an hour after they arrived. Its been a 'good' experience. Hardware is wonderful, I've even dropped it a few times - no issues. WM5/6 is really just a joke, more so even with WM6. Its not a new OS, its a skin upgrade with one or two features that should have been in WinCE. I'm *NOT* going to upgrade to the Tilt/8925, I am thinking seriously about an iPhone.

yeah, if you need something with bb connect, you're better suited with a blackberry

Considered the iPhone (for about 30 seconds), but I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this sucker one way or another. I've been looking to upgrade my contract anyway, but I've got to wait and see if AT&T cripples the GPS or adds a bunch of software bloat. In that case, I'll just go with the unlocked Kaiser.

Why would AT&T cripple the GPS? That would be pointless if they want to sell you Telenav... just look at the Blackberry 8800.
