hey everybody its Joe from pocketnow.com with another throwback device for you this is the HTC Kaiser the AT&T branded version which they called the tilt for obvious reasons this was a Windows Mobile Pocket PC later known as a Windows Mobile professional because it didn't have a touchscreen you've got a stylus that pops out around here somewhere but I can't remember where actually do a really good job camouflaging it up in there for you very nice device I can run windows mobile 6.5 though a little bit sluggishly I'll give you a few points to look at really interesting placement of the sim card you've got to flip the phone open unlock and open it up now by doing that the phone is automatically gonna power off which is a really good feature in my opinion I don't know why they made the SIM slot so accessible and still made it power off but that's neither here that nor there sim slides right in that way door closes and locks you're good to go never had a problem with that coming open or getting lost or even the sim getting loose while I used it on the back we have a 3 megapixel camera no flash on it but we do have an external rear facing camera you'll notice down here is a little HTC logo kind of muted back then they made things pretty small they didn't want to brag about their hardware you've got an external antenna port for your GPS and then over here on the side I pushed a top button which I reprogrammed for voice command you have this nice scroll wheel up and down and then an OK button this scroll wheel also can be pushed in to select okay kind of redundant to have a separate button and you can't reprogram this button unfortunately but it was nice to be able to scroll up and down and then tap ok on the front you've got your typical soft buttons left and right you've got a directional deep which really showed quite a bit of where you've got your internet explorer button your email button which kind of broke off so now it's just a rectangle button okay windows your hang-up and your pickup buttons really nice they're thing I don't like about this phone I keep trying to slide it open and it won't slide open because for some reason they did it backwards there's your slide it's different than the t-mobile g1 it's different from all the sliders before it at least all the sliders that I used why they did it backwards I don't know they must have had a good reason but it took me forever to get used to that so let's look down here on the bottom we've got a micro SD card no AC just as the little lanyard loop and then the HTC proprietary USB port and headphone jack kind of nice some people too
