Nie one, thanks. I'm really looking forward to this device, I reckon it'll be the first one to switch me back to Windows Mobile permanently!

Hi paul
I met you way back at pocketgpsworld expo, anyway nice phone. Would you please take some comparison pictures with the
HTC Tytn and some video.

Does the device feel heavy etc, what does it feel like in a tracksuit bottom?

Thanks

As I understand it the light keys are on the very early prototypes, units such as this that are basically production hardware DON'T have that keyboard.

Night time pics, sure, altho no flash will prolly mean they are a bit dark.

I should point out the ROM isn't finalised for the Kaiser yet, so there will still be changes between the unit I have and production.

Looks like Pauls done it again, glad to see your got your unit in the end. Nice photo too, Quality seems much better than previous HTC units.

Yes white keys are the very earlie ones, Rom was older than the one I had, Most of them went to A&T in the USA used for demos only. GPS was not installed in the device neither. If you take the battery cover off at the top you can see what features your prototype has i.e UTMS,GPS and so on.

I must say them white keys make the device ugly imo.

I'd be interested to know how long it takes from switching on the power button to being able to click start? Would like to compare it to my old Vario...

Also, how fragile does the sliding mech feel now that it moves up as well as sliding?

However, it doesn't matter what the answers are, I'm still going to have one!

Boot up, not measured, and it's not a fair test on a test ROM.

The sliding mechanism feels great

Any idea what sort of price we're looking at for one of these, say on a flext 25 tarrif? I'm sorely tempted as I'm due an upgrade at the end of august...

since it's supposed to be a replacement for the 8525/TyTN, my guess is around $700.00. im only saying this because i really dont think they're gonna charge a whole lot more for a replacement. hopefully its $600 though.

Not sure about the Kaiser Chief puns

but a couple of questions:
1. I have a M3100 and seriously want something smaller. How does it feel in terms of weight and overall dimensions to the Hermes?
2. Can you confirm if it's a Sirfstar GPS or the gpsOne?
