This barrage of negative reviews is brought to you by the lynch mob at xda developers. To qoute the first post - "Lets help our campaign by writing a bad review of HTC Kaiser here (Amazon)" - and another - "Good idea to get everyone to post bad reviews"
 I regret buying this phone January 30, 2008

This is my third HTC phone. All of the three phones had some manufacturing defects and had to be sent to HTC service center for repair. But Kaiser being most expensive out of the three phones looks like the low quality phone. First, the painting of HTC logo in the upper right corner (I own HTC branded phone, not AT&T version) peeled of within two weeks. Considering that I always keep the phone in the pouch, this is just sucks. And now after about 2 months the Windows flag on one of the keys is gone also.
Now about the bluetooth problems. Before Kaiser I had TyTN. And with Kaiser usable bluetooth range is about 3 meters. With TyTN using the same bluetooth headset it was about 8 meters.
And of course, if I'd have known the video drivers are not included, there is no way I would by this phone.
 Decent phone but some issues! January 30, 2008

I have had this phone since Oct 2007; before that I was using a Treo 650 and V3i depending on need.
The phone has a great set of features and most work well.
Some things are a problem:
The volume on this phone is weak! The speaker on the back does not play loudly enough and when it does get loud it distorts badly. The Treo put this to shame.
The bluetooth headset volume is much to low with any headset and I have tried several. It is usable but just barely! Treo and V3i beat it easily.
The video drivers are weak or non existent. Most video exhibit some stuttering. Treo better again.
It is too bad that HTC isn't (and doesn't plan on) addressing these issue or this would truely be one of if not the best phone on the market.
I wanted to believe January 30, 2008

Disappointing graphics and rendering. I moved up(?) from the 8525 and have been less than thrilled with the video performance. I don't use if for games or watching videos, you notice the lag with changing from portrait to landscape or when suing the camera.
Otherwise acceptable but for now would not recommend buying this until/unless the graphics drivers are released or fixed.
Best Phone/PDA Available... On PAPER! January 30, 2008

I had excited for months about the Tilt and it's great feature set as well as the promise of a wonderfully performing PDA and Phone combo. I finally saved up enough cash and bought one. I've had it for 30 days now.
My first impression after opening the box and giving it my initial charge was that it was amazing. I got some of my favorite applications installed and started using the phone. I soon started becoming annoyed by it's slow interface on just about all applications. Scrolling became painful and screen redraws were extremely slow. The touch screen didn't always detect the stylus or my finger, the music player skips from time to time and the camera is horribly unusable due to the extremely slow viewfinder refresh rate. You really can't even see what you are taking a picture of and when you finally do think you got the shot the delay from the time you press the button until the picture is actually taken guarantees you missed it. I've tried to watch short video clips but again, the skipping and tearing makes this an unpleasant experience.
I started believing that there must be something wrong with the phone, maybe a configuration problem or some other mistake on my part. I started reading reviews and forums and quickly learned that it wasn't me. It seems that many people have had similar or worse problems than I have.
If you want a phone that gives both good performance and a great feature set then I wouldn't buy the Tilt. The features are there, but the performance is severely lacking.
