AT&T may be prepping HTC Kaiser for August release as the AT&T 8925

Ahh, the HTC Kaiser. We’ve been waiting for this incredible Windows Mobile smartphone for so long now, it’s amazing to think that it’s just around the proverbial corner. With a spec sheet that boasts 3G, QWERTY keyboard (with that super-trick spring-loaded, flip-up sliding screen), WiFi, GPS (!), and Windows Mobile, the Kaiser is as good as Widows Mobile gets.
The HTC Kaiser is the likely successor to AT&T (NYSE: T)’s 8525 (HTC TyTn /Hermes), and rumored to be getting branded as the AT&T 8925. With T-mobile Germany already getting its hands on the Kaiser as the MDA Vario III, we gotta believe that it’s headed for Yankee shores soon. We have reason to believe that the iPhone carrier may release the AT&T 8925 sometime in August. As usual, we’ll keep grinding away at the rumor mill. Stay tuned for more info!

Tom the geek doesn’t even know and only speculates “August” based on rumors he picked up off one 6 week old forum post.
Tom The Geek said: “I’m not positive where I got the August release date but it is definitely not any new insider information. Just what I heard from various sites.

Did you guys even read the blog or did you just post this ‘news’ because all of the other tech blogs posted a similar story?
“at&t MAY be prepping htc kaiser for august release as the at&t 8925″
MAY is the operative word here. Not to mention that the post is clearly categorize under “Rumors.”
As you mentioned, many other sources are speculating at an August release, that was never stated as fact.
