AT&T branded Tilt or unbranded Kaiser?

[AstainHellbring]

The underlying hardware is the same minus the front camera and all the software can so easily be gotten if u want the TYTN II preloaded software. There is a sim unlocker now as well so one can easily use the tilt on tmobile. Also the TOMTOM that u got is only a taster edition so be warned.

Anyway, it had a camera on the front for video calls, and appeared to have all the other features of the AT&T branded device.

Does anyone know if everything works on the unbranded version on AT&T? Would the video calling work? And the push to talk? How about the MMS?

Any other issues I should be aware of before I buy an unlocked Kaiser?

I'm not a current AT&T customer, but I'm seriously thinking about leaving Sprint and getting a Tilt. But if the AT&T branded unit has less features than the unbranded unit, I'd rather go that route...

The unbranded Kaiser should have the exact same hardware, just with a front camera. You just have to configure it for AT&T MMS. I believe PTT is a feature exclusive to AT&T ROMS, (special hardware?) but I might be wrong. 3G is available in most major cities, and I now have 4 bars/3G where I had only 3 bars/Edge before (Washington, DC area). It's slowly spreading, but might not be available if you live out in the woods. I can' t speak for video calling since I've never used it, but it should work since it's a feature of the phone/rom and is independent of network provisioning (although they offer this for a fee).
