The Boy Genius is reporting that the HTC Kaiser (to be known as the P4550 when it hits the street) release date may have slipped to August. The intel from our always-reliable-super-excellent-slightly-demanding HTC source, is that the HTC Kaiser is now delayed from July to August. July? What? It appears that I missed the news that the release date had been bumped forward from October to July.
Remember the news about the US ban on the import of future devices that use a 3G chipset from Qualcomm because these chips violate a Broadcom Corp. patent? Could the delay be due to the 384MHz QualComm processor that the Kaiser is supposed to use?
While an August release date is bad news if you were hoping to get your hands on the Kaiser in July, it is good news if you thought you would have to wait until October.
