Shh - don't tell anyone but the HTC Kaiser is going to chalk up another name - the AT&T 8925 Tilt. It'll replace the 8525 that was released almost a year ago. AT&T reps seem to be calling it simply "The Tilt" or the "AT&T Tilt", obviously due …

There seems to be real "lag" between phones arriving in shops and then appearing on network websites at the moment. Take the HTC Touch on Orange for example. We saw it arriving in stores on July 19th but there's still no mention of it anywhere on the ...

Bell Canada have just announced the availability of the HTC 6800. At last! A network that announces a phone and then makes it available to buy on the same day. Why doesn't every network do this eh? A 36 month contract (woaha!) will set the price at $1...

I've just put the finishing touches to our review of the HTC P6300 Panda. It's big, it's bulky, it uses SD cards and it runs Windows Mobile 5.0. So why buy it ? Well, to be honest I was a little stumped at first, but despite my reservations …
Alright stop, let's be honest for a minute. There's a lot of things I'd still like to change about Windows Mobile. Screen switching still takes longer than it should and the standard home screen is as dull as can be. Following the launch of the iPhone...
If you're in the USA then there's no doubt many of your friends and colleagues will be busy showing off their new iPhone. Here in Europe we've avoided most of the hype so far but there's no doubt that queues will be forming outside Apple stores soon e...

Here it is, our HTC Kaiser review. There's word that this device is set to become the TyTn II and as usual our review is bursting with ultra close-up photos, videos and details. Unlike what you may see elsewhere this is the complete, HTC branded devic...
Writing a review can take a while, so while you're waiting for our HTC P4550 / HTC Kaiser review to be published I've had an idea. Why not do a quick 6-minute video to show our first impressions? Well, here's the result. I've literally had the device ...
