What are the main differences that make the Kaiser so much better than the 6800? (Not trying to be argumentative, just legitimately curious) Thanks.

For starts, a front camera for video conference, A tilt front to use the camera, 3 mega pixel instead of 2, HSUPA.... I think they both have full GPS, so that is all I remember off the top of my head.

Edit: you could use this for comparison.

Things that come to mind -
More memory - not main but useful for all the kitchens
Better camera - 3 megapixel autofocus not important to me but could be for others
Appears to have front camera for video conferencing
Tilt/swivel feature for screen - not important to me but still a feature some might like.


GPS - looks like it has a full GPS - would LOVE to have that on my phone

Better speaker - useful to me as I would in a lot of loud environments - hard to hear the ringer

You'll rue the day!


Seriously though I do think HTC is working towards better phones with the kaiser and the touch. I just wish we'd feel some of that love on the CDMA side.

I just read that in the secert FCC report the Mogul has a full GPS too. Now I'm still trying to find out what's so much different between a full GPS, TeleNav, and TomTom Navigation 6 mobile.

Do any of you guys know?

AGPS (assisted GPS I believe) means you have to contact someone for the phone to get triangulated data on its location. Telenave I believe is the service sprint sells on a monthly basis for that service. Potentially AGPS could do this without monthly service fees but not currently as they are difficult to access and most units with them don't support java from what I've been told.

TomTom, Iguidance and others are software that run on your phone should it have a full GPS or link to a full GPS that maps and navigates for you. MS live and other apps that are small and free do the same thing but without some of those functions.

The only thing I have to add is, the nice thing about aGPS is that it works inside of buildings if you still have reception.

So the Mogul will have a full GPS in it like TomTom then? Except the only difference is it doesn't need an extra receiver right?

Full GPS should mean the receiver is already inside the unit.

There is no need for a full antenna - the GPS unit I use with my 6700 is about the size of a key chain car alarm.

The 6700 actually has a built in GPS receiver- but Sprint and Verizon disabled it.

I'm guessing the GPS receiver in the Mogul will be disabled by Sprint too.

That's BS if that's true. Do you guys hate TeleNav that cost $10 a month? If so why?

Whether or not gps will be available (even though all signs point to it being an option), you can always buy a bluetooth gps receiver and software on your own. That's a one time purchase (unless you decide to spend money when the map dates become available every couple years or so). I personally use Tomtom.

There's no way I'll let Sprint nickel and dime me by charging me a monthly fee for gps service.

I would also never pay Sprint one dime for a service that was built into the phone and they intentionally disabled.

The fact that you can just buy an external receiver should force Sprint to just leave it alone in the first place. Why make me carry around an external receiver if I don't have to?

And for anyone who didn;t know about the 6700 having a full GPS that Sprint disabled, read this:

And here's the thread about it (kind of long):

Well see my thing is this. I don't want to carry around a bluetooth receiver or have to plug something up to my cigeratte lighter.

So I'm trying to find out how good TeleNav is compared to a company like TomTom.

Does anybody know?

Any ideas on the maximum storage on the SD cards? I am still back with 4GB on my 6600.

Hey Jerryyyyy (I think I have enough "y"s) long time man. Yeah the speculation is that the 6800 will be compatible w/ the larger than 4gig micro sd cards as they come out.
