A very good and throrough review. You answered all my questions about the Kaiser but one.

Is the microSD slot SDHC compatible so that it'll take the new 4/6/8GB microSDHC cards?

I would think it's definitely compatible seeing as the latest versions of WM6 on the Hermes are SDHC compatible.

microSDHC cards will work. My 4gb one worked fine in my production unit.

great review paul!
i like the new look of the camera software. take some CoolCamera Pics and Videos soon!

o and no VGA to me is not a con. i only say this because VGA screens slow down the device more and use more power.

Thx for the review Paul!

Does anybody know if TomTom works together with the integrated GPS?

Is the USB-Port a Host or again only a Slave Port?
E.g. can an external GPS be connected or a USB-Harddrive?

How refreshing. Every gadget site across the net is bloated with bloody iPhone posts!

Kaiser is definitely going to be my next device. Will be the perfect move from my M3100. The size, the functionality, everything about it. If ONLY it had a VGA screen. But what the hell. I'll live.

As soon as T-Mobile have it I will be first in line!!

Nobody knows for sure but probably August for the HTC version and expect the branded network versions to appear after.

No

I think this review has almost confirmed my next device, will probably upgrade to it in around 6 or 7 months time I think if it comes on Orange

At the risk of going off topic why on earth would you want a data device on one of Orange's tarrifs?

- Bluetooth 2.0 EDR

Hello,

Can you comment on the quality of the bluetooth? Initially many people thought the BT was fine on the PPC6800 because callers sounded fine to them on their snazzy new phone. Eventually they got enough complaints that people realized they sounded horrible to the people they were calling from their 6800. Turns out even though if you own a 6800 and call on your BT headset your callers sound fine but randomly you will sound like crap to the people you are speaking with.

This hasn't been reported with the WM5 version of the 6800 on Telus just those who got the WM6 version on Sprint. I'm not sure if it is the BT stack from MS that is the culprit or where the issue lies. And since it doesn't happen on every call, it is hard to diagnose. It seems to be more common with longer calls. The phone speaker is OK - it happens with Bluetooth only. I've personally tried 3 different types of BT headsets - about 10 others have been listed with this same issue.

We have it on the HTC WIKI though - http://www.htcwiki.com/page/HTC+Mogul

So if you've spent more than a few hours using the BT headset with this phone and have checked with your callers we'll see if this is common with WM6 or if it is a unique thing to our HTC mogul phones.

THanks

Better than the people over at CoolSmartPhone who are proudly announcing that they will have the first review of the Kaiser online next week.

Nice try chaps.
