hmm... contract's almost up with Sprint for me, and the Kaiser would def tempt me to switch to AT&T if they get exclusivity

setclock - curious...what would be the main reason(s) to choose the Kaiser over Sprint's new Mogul?

I take a lot of photo's on the job with my phone and read that the camera on the kaiser is much better (..sharper/brighter, not just the fact that its 2 vs 3 MP), also love the "leave it on your desk *tilt* view", but what would really decide it for me is if the GPS were carrier independent (like if it used a TomTom program instead of paying sprint X $$ per month for GPS), but somwhow I doubt AT&T will let us have our cake and eat it too

TDG01,

The Mogul is the Hermes's CDMA variant. The Kaiser is the next step up.

setclock,

Don't worry, if AT&T tries to lock in the GPS, the good folks over at xda devs will figure out a way around it.

I just need AT&T to finally announce this.

Actually, the Mogul is the Hermes with some improvements - its thinner, lighter, and faster than the Hermes but doesn't have the tilting screen, GPS, or the 3 megapixel camera.

On one of the blogs I surf, someone had a pre-release AT&T Version with a demo of TomTom's nav-ware on it. I can't imagine they (ATT) would cripple GPS, it is a nice feature to have when you are taking share from Sprint/ Nextel

Richard: so at&t can charge you to use their TeleNav GPS service for $5.99 or $9.99 USD monthly. They've done it to the newer Blackberries already, and the near-final Kaiser shots with at&t screens showed TeleNav also.
