HTC Kaiser May Be Offered as AT&T 8925

The Cingular 8525 has proved to be a popular model with AT&T, but it's starting to show its age. Rumor has it that this device will soon be replaced by a device based on the HTC Kaiser.

This model -- supposedly to be called the AT&T 8925 -- will, at first glance, look a great deal like the 8525. It will have a tablet shape with a QWERTY keyboard hidden below the 2.8-inch, QVGA screen.

But unlike its predecessors, when the screen is slid aside to expose the keyboard, it will flip up at an angle, making the device look something like a mini laptop.

Another advantage the 8925 will have over its predecessor is an updated operating system: Windows Mobile 6 Professional.

It will use a 400 MHz processor, and have 128 MB of RAM and 256 MB of ROM, a percentage of which will be available to the user as internal storage. It will also include a microSD slot.

It will be a quad-band GSM phone with GPRS and EDGE, as well as UMTS and HSDPA 3G networking. It will also sport Wi-Fi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, and USB 2.0.

In addition, this Pocket PC will have a 2.8 megapixel camera, a GPS receiver, and a 1500 mAh battery.

According to unconfirmed reports, AT&T will introduce the 8925/Kaiser in August of this year.
