(Credit: Corinne Schulze/CNET Networks)Looking at the AT&T Tilt, you'd think it was just another Windows Mobile smart phone from HTC. After all, it has a similar design to its distant cousins, the Sprint Mogul and T-Mobile Wing, except it has a screen that tilts up to 40 degrees to give you a better viewing angle. And this device isn't just about cool looks. The Tilt is one of those everything-but-the-kitchen-sink-type smart phones. It's packed with just about every feature imaginable to keep the mobile professional connected and productive on the road, and did we mention that it has a tilting screen? Check out the photos here and read our review for the full scoop on this powerful smart phone.
AT&T Tilt
(Credit: Corinne Schulze/CNET Networks)Whether you know it as the AT&T 8925, the HTC Kaiser, or the HTC TyTN II, this highly anticipated Windows Mobile 6 smart phone officially got its crowning today as the AT&T Tilt. And we'd say the name is quite fitting, given that it has a slide-out screen that tilts 40 degrees for a better viewing angle. However, this smart phone isn't just about the innovative design. It's packed to the gills with features for the mobile professional, and though we've only had a chance to play with a preproduction unit, we think it'll sell like hotcakes. The AT&T Tilt will be available starting October 5 for $299.99 with a two-year contract. You can get all the juicy details in our full preview, and be sure to check back Thursday morning for our photo gallery.
HTC TyTN II
(Credit: HTC)Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. For all of you who are dreaming sweet thoughts of the HTC Kaiser like I am, we're one step closer to seeing the vision come true. Today, the company announced the HTC TyTN II for Europe; hopefully signifying that the U.S. launch won't be too far behind.
Despite the different naming scheme, the TyTN II is the same smart phone as the Kaiser we've discussed before on Crave. The Windows Mobile 6 device features a 2.8-inch, QVGA touch screen that slides out and tilts up to give you a better view for reading and creating e-mails, work documents, and so forth. It's also fully stocked with Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g), Bluetooth 2.0, HSDPA, and GPS. Other goodies include a 3-megapixel camera, 256MB ROM/128MB ROM, and a microSD slot. The TyTN II will launch with various carriers throughout Europe, including Orange, T-Mobile, and Vodafone, starting in September. You can check out the full press release here [PDF file].

So what about us here in the States? Well, given that the quad-band GSM smart phone includes HSDPA support and only one of the two GSM carriers--AT&T and T-Mobile--has rolled out its 3.5G network, it's pretty safe to assume it'll land at AT&T. In fact, there are rumors that the HTC TyTN II/Kaiser will be rebranded as the AT&T 8925 (as the successor to the AT&T 8525) and/or AT&T Tilt. CrunchGear is reporting that the mobile could be available as early as September 3 for $499 with a two-year contract, but there's been no official confirmation from either HTC or AT&T.
HTC Kaiser
(Credit: Engadget Mobile)Huzzah, all hail the HTC Kaiser! The latest Windows Mobile 6 smart phone from HTC has been given the thumbs-up by the FCC, clearing the way for a U.S. release. According to the FCC filings, it appears there are, in fact, three models: the HTC KAIS100 with a 3-megapixel camera; the KAIS110 with no camera; and the KAIS120 with a 3-megapixel camera on back and VGA lens on front. All three run on the GSM/HSDPA network and have integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. The smart phone also features a slider design, full QWERTY keyboard, and pivoting screen. There's no official word on availability or carrier, but with the HSDPA support, chances are the Kaiser will land at AT&T.
