HTC Kaiser, T-Mobile's First 3G Smartphone

HTC Kaiser will support the radio frequency used by T-Mobile USA's 3G network: 1700 MHz, which clearly points at a release for the smartphone in this network. The device should make its entrance on the US market in the near future, although a time has yet to be set for this.

T-Mobile uses a different frequency than the other U.S. carriers in order to get the radio spectrum it needed to create a national 3G network. Standard U.S. 3G phones won't be able to access T-Mobile's network, as other operators offer UMTS and HSDPA technology. All these facts and the specifications that the FCC has leaked on the HTC Kaiser handset reveal the fact that the device will be compatible with T-Mobile's network and see a soon release here.

HTC Kaiser is one of the most evolved smartphones out there. At the time when it received its FCC approval, it came in three different versions. One had a 3 megapixel camera, one added a front VGA camera, showing 3G support, while the latter version had none of these features.

The phone is especially comfortable to use due to its tilting system that makes handling it highly similar to that of a small laptop. It is meant to respond both to business and personal needs, which make it even more complex. The QWERTY keyboard proves to be excellent for solving these problems easily and introducing a large amount of text in the device. The smartphone also includes GPRS and EDGE technology. Moreover, connectivity will be available through Bluetooth 2.0, USB and WiFi too.

It's been almost two months since HTC Kaiser received its FCC approval, which hints towards a close release of the device. There have been no official statements made on this phone's launch, although it should happen in the near future.
