- Horrorible Phone...Don't Buy!
This phone's motto should be, "Promise them everything, give them nothing!"

First, I got the phone for several reasons:

1) CELL PHONE. Okay, it's a good cell phone. It's loud and can be switched to vibrate.

2) SPEAKERPHONE. And the speakerphone is fine. No complaints, but it sucks batteries dry.

3) WI-FI. Forget it! This thing doesn't work. It's supposed to work without AT&T's MediaNET service, but some AT&T tech people say the Wi-Fi won't work without the monthly MediaNET service. This is untrue according to the manufacturer. With or without the MediaNET, Wi-Fi just doesn't work with this phone. I can get maybe one or two screens, then it craps out. Same with my sister's phone. I've had two phones myself. I don't know of any phone that works.

4) CAMERA. As a photographer, I wanted a backup. Alas, this is one of the worst in-phone cameras I've ever seen. Even in bright sunlight, pictures are muddy and indistinct. Unbelievably bad. My wife's Nokia is far, far better.

5) MULTI-MEDIA. A total waste. Volume is terrible and picture quality of movies is only so-so. No standard headphone jack.

6) E-BOOK. Not bad, not great. Eats up a lot of resources and takes forever to come up if you have a sizable library. Has to be shut down before using other resource hungry aps.

This is the kind of phone you can't wait to break or lose so you can buy another. It has so many problems one could write a small book. I got it primarily for Wi-Fi and it's been a miserable failure. I even upgraded it to the latest Windows.

The screen does switch from portrait to landscape, and the keyboard is fairly decent, though no "$" sign is provided, so you have to go to the characters key and then select the dollar sign from a bunch of other symbols. How can ATT do this when it's primarily a business phone?

In short, avoid. I'm so mad at AT&T over this that I'm probably going to switch companies. Oh, and if you use MediaNET, it's slow, like using a 9600 baud telephone modem.

- DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE
I purchased the AT&T Tilt a few months ago. It is incredibly unreliable. I paid $350 for it with a 2 year contract. Within two weeks of purchase all of the hard keys on the device stopped working. I took it back and got a replacement. Two months later the same thing happened. The main reason I got this phone was for the keyboard. None of the keys worked at all. I had to do everything through the touch screen on the device and if you know Windows Mobile you know it isn't exactly the most user (and touch) friendly. It was past the 30 day mark so I couldn't get the phone replaced or returned. How can they justify charging $350, or, in this case, $500, for a phone that only works two months? It's ridiculous.

It has a lot of features but as I said it's very unreliable. Not just as far as the hard keys are concerned, the device itself is pretty glitchy and runs rather slowly. I'm assuming a lot of the positive reviews of this device are from people who only had the phone a short period of time, as I enjoyed it when I first got it. It didn't take long for it to become a burden.

Luckily for me the phone got stolen a few weeks after the keys stopped working the second time. No, I didn't have insurance, but it took the hassle of this piece of crap off my hands and gave me an excuse to buy an iPhone 3G. I'm certainly no Apple fanboy, that's why I bought this in the first place, but there is truly no comparison. Don't be stupid and go with this phone just because you don't like Apple. It is NOT an iPhone and is certainly NOT an iPhone killer. I'm not telling the Apple haters to go buy an iPhone, but don't expect this to be near as powerful (and you must admit, the iPhone is very powerful).

Not recommended at all. I don't see how they can sell this thing with a straight face.

- ATT TILT PHONE IS AWFUL
This phone is cumbersome and tedious, the touch screen has a way of being too sensitive at times and I drop a lot of calls this way. At other times some interfaces become a total burden such as setting the alarm clock when tired and trying to hit the snooze button. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this.

- Solid phone, lacking in one important aspect... a proper video driver
I purchased this unit a couple of days ago, then upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1. An easy upgrade (even works on 64-bit Vista), WM6.1 is fairly straightforward to use, and stable overall. (I have had an applet crash, however.)

It's a speedy performer out of the box, though sometimes screen refreshes were a little slow.

It turns out there's a brouhaha over a lack of tightly integrated video drivers for this device, which is capable of running MUCH faster.

Along with the crashing applet (an HTC background running utility; HTC is the company that actually makes the Tilt), I really hope they come along with a better video driver. This unit is good, and is a good Smartphone PDA, but it could do better.

The keyboard is awesome.

The touch screen is as sensitive as my previous PDA (iPaq 2755).

Boots fast.

Has a crisp, bright screen.

And whose processor is NOT Intel ARM-based. This needn't worry you unless you're into using hacking, overclocking, or other gray-area utilities. Those apps may not work entirely on the Tilt's CPU.

The other apps I've used, from backup to office suite to games to shell add-ons DO work nicely indeed. So don't think this device can't run. It does and nicely overall too.

Battery life is so-so - 1300maH is not much. Larger batteries are available, but they will make this thing HUGE.

All in all, it's a good performer, and Windows Mobile 6.1 is a treat. But the omissions on the part of the manufacturer (the aforementioned video drivers) is most confounding. HTC is known for doing better. But that gripe aside, it really is a top ranking mobile unit.

- Absolutely the most buggy phone I have ever owned...
This phone is full of bugs. The bluetooth never works right. The phone indicates it connected to the headset, but it does not work. Also, when I synced up my phone with Outlook, it deleted all of my contacts. I have had to do a hard reset with this phone multiple times, which deletes all the settings. The WIFI usually fails to connect. Windows Update locks up the phone. I have owned this thing for only 3 days. I will be sending it back.
