Amazon.com Product Description
The slim, pocket-sized AT&T Tilt smartphone is bursting at the seams with a full-menu of wireless capabilities to keep you connected wherever you roam on this globe--quad-band GSM for global roaming, Wi-Fi, EDGE, and 3G data connectivity via AT&T's UMTS/HSDPA-based BroadbandConnect network. Practical and versatile, the phone's face slides open to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard while the screen tilts for optimal viewing of email, spreadsheets, and web videos. It also adds the power of the Windows Mobile 6 operating system (Professional Edition), which provides push email for immediate send and receive as well as editing of Microsoft Office documents. (See more details about Windows Mobile 6 below.) With its high-speed 3G network capability, you'll be able to access AT&T's Mobile Music and Cellular Video services, and the phone includes the latest version of Telenav GPS Navigator for turn-by-turn directions while on the go. One of the most powerful, feature-packed smartphones on the market, the AT&T Tilt also includes a 3-megapixel camera (with video capabilities), Bluetooth connectivity with stereo music streaming and multiple connection capability, MicroSD memory card expansion up to 4 GB, and a variety of games for when you need a break (including Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 and Ms. Pac-Man). 
The AT&T Tilt is a veritable wireless Swiss Army Knife, with quad-band GSM, tri-band 3G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity as well as a GPS receiver. | AT&T Service
The AT&T Tilt can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas. The AT&T 3G network uses the UMTS 850/1900/2100 network (also known as WCDMA), making it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services with speeds up to 3.6 Mbps. It also gives AT&T the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services. You'll also enjoy 3G broadband speed connectivity across the globe with tri-band UMTS/HSDPA capabilities, which allows the Tilt to operate in Japan and Korea, in addition to the more than 135 countries in which AT&T offers international data roaming. In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) service and the Internet while on the go. Cellular Video features content from CNN, The Weather Channel, iFilm, Comedy Central and exclusive premium content from HBO and much more. It also features AT&T Mobile Music, which provides access to Napster and eMusic subscription services as well as Music ID song-recognition software, music videos and The Buzz music news portal. The handset is XM Radio Mobile-capable, so you can enjoy streaming live digital radio as well. (An AT&T MEdia Max subscription bundle is recommended for accessing AT&T's Internet, video, and music services.) 
Like a micro laptop, the AT&T Tilt features a full QWERTY keyboard and a face/touchscreen that tilts up to 40 degrees. | Phone Features
Akin to a micro laptop, the AT&T Tilt's face/touchscreen tilts up to a maximum of 40 degrees, and the variable screen angle can be positioned to suit your needs, whether you're catching up on email, browsing the Web, or playing a game. The QWERTY keypad offers roomy, rectangular buttons that are tactile and backlit, making it easy to type with both thumbs while on the go. The large 2.8-inch touchscreen has a 240 x 320-pixel resolution and support for up to 65K colors. It sports a 256 MB memory (not all user available) and a MicroSD memory card slot, which is compatible with the latest 4 GB capacity. This smartphone has an integrated Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g), enabling seamless connectivity with wireless networks at work, at home, and on the roam via Wi-Fi hotspots at airports and coffee shops. For an additional charge, you can connect to any of the 10,000 AT&T hotspot locations in the U.S. and tens of thousands more abroad. The AT&T Tilt supports Bluetooth 2.0, which allows up to six Bluetooth devices to be wirelessly connected simultaneously to the device--one of which can be a Bluetooth stereo headset for listening to music. Featuring the latest version of Telenav GPS Navigator, you'll enjoyGPS-enabled turn-by-turn voice and on-screen driving direction, colorful 3D moving maps and traffic delay alerts with re-routing for use in vehicles or while walking. New features debuting on the Tilt include address sharing--allowing you to share your location with friends and associates--and reading, rating and sharing business listings like restaurants and more. Business users also can utilize TeleNav Track a fully hosted, on-demand and comprehensive GPS-based workforce-management solution. In addition to Microsoft Direct Push, the AT&T Tilt will be the first Windows Mobile device in North America to include the Blackberry Connect email service, which also enables familiar wireless synchronization of calendar, contacts and tasks for users. BlackBerry Connect 4.0 supports push email for Microsoft Exchange Server, Lotus Notes/Domino and Novell Groupwise through the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and personal email through the BlackBerry Internet Service. You can also use the AT&T Tilt to access your personal email through AT&T's Xpress Mail service, enabling you to receive email from most major POP3/IMAP personal email services pushed to the AT&T Tilt at pre-set intervals. AT&T Xpress Mail can perform two-way wireless synchronization of their calendars, access contact lists and view attachments. Beyond business functionality, the AT&T Tilt is made for fun and games as well. The device is preloaded with free and premium games and applications including Ms. PAC-MAN, Brain Challenge, Bubble breaker, Midnight Pool, Solitaire, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07, MobiTV, and MyCast. Other features include: - Instant messaging via AOL, Yahoo!, and Microsoft Live
- Music format support: AAC, AAC+, eAAC, MP3, WMA, WAV, MPEG4, AMR

 Excellent smartphone, even for a non-tech April 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was cautious about ordering this phone. My previous phone had no gadgets, no gizmos. It didn't even have a camera. However, the abiity to edit documents on the go and to check e-mails while away from the computer really appealed to me. I was cautious because I am not a tech geek. I had seen many reviews of this and other phones, and found myself doing the same thing I did when I listened to an IT guy talk -- I zoned out. 3G? WM6? I was lost. Ultimately, I decided to take the plunge. I've had my Tilt for about 2 weeks now, and I am very happy with it. I decided to write a review for those prospective smartphone buyers out there who, like me, have trouble programming a VCR (for those of us who still have VCRs).
The Good: The Tilt is powerful. Windows Mobile 6 works pretty much like Windows on your home computer. That's very useful for opening pdf documents, text files, and other things you'll need for work. It can play most videos, although I'm still trying to figure out how to get certain file types to play (I'm sure there's a way, but again, trouble with VCR).
It also has 3G, which is basically the only internet service worth a crap. It's painful to try and surf the net on a non-3G connection (it will take like 5
Tilt is what Wing SHOULD have been April 21, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This review is going to be short and sweet. I had a TMobile Wing for nearly 5 months before the touch screen died and TMobile refused to honor the warranty, despite having been a devoted customer for the past 5 years holding 3 wireless accounts. I got the Wing because I had outgrown the Sidekick series having begun with the CSK. The Wing was great for about a day, it lacked CPU and RAM--pretty much everything that defines a computing device.
After the TMobile fiasco, I jumped to AT&T with the Tilt and it's what I should have done years ago. With available program memory hovering around 70MB and RAM around 55MB, it has none of the frustrating issues I had with the Wing which I loved one day, and the next wanted to destroy it out of sheer frustration. I don't have to constantly reboot it to get more memory or run the memory recovery apps every time I want to open a new program. I also don't have to worry about my phone locking up when an incoming call comes in. Even better, when I open up a webpage with more than 6MB worth of pictures on it--IE,doesn't just die due to lack of memory.
Out of the box the Tilt performs. I had to modify the cache on the Wing to squeeze out more performance and up the speed from 200MHZ to 247MHZ to make it a bit more usable.
The only thing that bothers me about the Tilt is the phone goes into display lock when I'm on the phone. It usually activates about the time I need to access the keypad for the touchtones, i.e. accessing voicemail---so I have to unlock it quickly before the phone hangs up due to lack of activity. I realize the phone locks so your cheek isn't pressing up against it while talking on the phone---something I also hated about the Wing.
Moving from the Wing was easy. I did a full backup with SPB Backup, then inserted that same memory card into the Tilt and restored it.
The Tilt is by far a better phone and laptop replacement device. It rocks with my bluetooth folding keyboard. The camera quality in good lighting rivals my Nikon DSLR (love the autofocus feature on the Tilt), the GPS allows more functionality, the 400MHz CPU and huge amount of RAM makes this actually a useful tool, and finally the 3G network gives me nearly the same speed as my DSL in my office. When I tether the Tilt to my laptop, it's easy to open up multiple browser tabs, or view graphic intensive sites without wishing I was on DSL!
I love the Tilt and AT&T!
I'm very impressed with this device. April 19, 2008
I'm very impressed with this device. The sound, pictures, internet, video camera, and the capabilities of this phone are real nice. I was kinda on the ropes about purchasing this phone but its kinda the "best bang for your buck." Its is a durable phone but I have dropped it twice and while the phone still operates the same, the screen doesn't hold a firm "tilt" as it did previously. But that's not a big problem because when you have it in the tilt position your index fingers will probably be behind the screen to support it anyway. Overall...I would refer this phone to anyone..College students, business people....its a keeper.
 Has it all, worthless as a phone April 18, 2008
I won't rehash the features and details of the phone as several reviews have done that already.
What I will say is that this phone does everything ... but it doesn't do them all well. In particular, it is a terrible phone. Reception is poor in most areas where my previous (and old) Motorola phone was great (poor antenna?), microphone is terrible (a lot of complaints from people I call), the speaker is OK at best (muddy and on the back of the Tilt so you need to prop it up to hear). What kills me is that alarms for messages, incoming email, etc. keep the phone on constantly and the battery will die in 8-10 hours if I don't fix the alarms. Like if I leave it my jacket pocket or in the car while I'm off doing other things. I can't count the number of times I've picked up the phone and it is dead or near dying because the battery drained while the phone stayed active (and yes, I've set the power options). Furthermore, the keypad for the phone is worthless out of the box - get an aftermarket program that enlarges the pad so it's usable. Even then, you'll find that it's almost impossible to use with one hand (like while driving). Yes, I've programed it for voice recognition but that's 50/50 accurate at best. And, the PPT button on the top right - of what use is it? You can't reprogram it and I have no use for PPT - minor nit but annoying all the same. Personally, I would recommend looking elsewhere if you want to use the tilt as a cell phone, instead of a toy, GPS, camera, PDA, etc. I can't wait to get rid of this thing and get a real phone.
