Ok I’m a Windows Mobile fan. I’ve had 3 HTC designed iPaqs 3 HTC Smartphones , and 2 HTC PPC Phones, but the lack of innovation is what’s holding windows mobile back. We haven’t had a major bump in processing power since 400mhz became standard with the Intel XScale chips 5 years ago. HTC hasn’t really changed form factors since the introduction of the Wizard 2 years ago. What does the Kaiser really introduce? Built in GPS – that’s nice but I already have a Bluetooth GPS. The extra memory is nice, but I haven’t had any out of memory problems on my 8525. The tilt up screen? I think that would actually be more uncomfortable than the flat screen. 3MP camera isn’t bad, but that will probably just mean a bigger bad image.
All these things are nice, but they aren’t going to make me dump my 8525. The only reason I upgraded from an 8125 was 3G. HTC basically IS windows mobile, and it’s time for them to start innovating.
So please tell us what kind of technology they could add? Beside a vga screen ans slimming it down a bit I don't know what they could really do to innovate... Maybe you never had any problem of memory on your 8525 but I know that every time I wanted to use opera on my 8125 I had to make sure nothing was running in the background so 128mb of ram is indeed really nice...
