New Pocket PC Phone coming to ATT in August?

Rumors have it that the HTC 4550 PPCP is coming to ATT. I have talk to our
ATT rep. and get the run around about this device. Anyone have more info?
This is a great device. I have played with a unlocked version of the
handset. If I'm not mistake the device will called the Kaiser. I have read
many reviews on this device and have some customers that want this device.
Anyone have solid info or specifics?

Saw over on PocketPCThoughts.com that it will probably be released in
late September, and will be branded as the AT&T 8925 (it's replacing the
8525). It just passed FCC certification.

How do you find it on PocketPCThoughts. I saw no search box & couldn't find
it.

Thanks... Bob

I can't find the FCC certification news item, but here's one right

website drop me an email and mention usernet group and I can get you a price
on one. We are currently in the process of new inventory for our unlocked
Pocket PC's. This one we will have in stock for sure!

But from the rumors it's a slimmer 8525 w a lower camera resolution
(640x480).

Why pay twice the price for the same functions?

Here are the specs I was given for the unlocked 4550

GSM/GPRS Quad-band GSM/GPRS, also includes UMTS and HSDPA
Bluetooth 2.0

Memory Card microSD Slot

Also known as the HTC Kaiser, the HTC P4550 Microsoft® Windows Mobile® 6
Pocket PC phone is the latest QWERTY-keyboard device from HTC. With its
compact size and unique tilting 240 x 320 display, it has the technical
specifications to be a worthy successor to the HTC TyTN. Sit the unit on a
table and tilt the screen for perfect viewing of applications such as Word
Mobile or Outlook Mobile.

The HTC P4550 offers a complete mobile office solution. Roam anywhere in the
world and use HSDPA for high speed Internet access, Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi®.
It gives you more control than ever over the way you work.

It also features assisted GPS (sat-nav), a 3 MegaPixel camera, Bluetooth and
a microSD card expansion slot. Wireless cellular connectivity comes in the
shape of UMTS and HSPDA, as well as GPRS and EDGE.

Sure, but unlike a certain phone, AT&T will discount this one if you sign
up for two years, or sell it to you outright if you don't... ;-)

Do you not look around at prices when buying anything ?

469.00 is what I found on Google. and I'm sure one could find it cheaper.
And If signing up for new service there may be even more of a discount.

Cheaper and so much more then the Iflop.

And for good reason. I guarantee these will not be selling like hotcakes.
Clunky design is only one part of the reason.
