 at&t Tilt December 28, 2007
6 out of 10 found this review helpful
An Excellent device. The hardware on this phone is excellent and is by far the fastest windows mobile device I have ever used. Phone feels solid, keyboard is nice and big for typing. Its good for people with huge thumbs. There are multiple ways to change options or access programs on the phone for ease of use.
However, the at&t Tilt comes loaded with a bunch of junk that you don't really need. For example, teleNAV. Its a bloated piece of junk that takes up a ton of memory. Delete it and get google maps, (its free and works perfectly with GPS).
Also, some software hacks may be needed to fully use all the features of this phone. For example, it would seem that HDSPA is not enabled by default. Some registry tweaks are needed to enable this. It is much faster than 3G and essential for those who tether their phone with their laptop for mobile internet.
 Not a great "phone" with tons of great PDA options December 26, 2007

this was my first attempt at an att phone. it had lots of neat options and the web worked well. Sadly as far as the "phone" funtions.. it doesnt work great. the sound was "windy" and it is very difficult to dial on the touch screen and a pain in the neck to open, turn and try to hit the right keys on the querty keyboard. I also found it difficult to look at the screen for extended periods of time and a friend who is a "techy" had said the same thing... I am going to the blackberry world instead. understand if you want only PDA functions its pretty cool. but you should get a separate cell phone for your calls. The man at the Att Store said its the biggest complaint about the phone.
 Loving it but I got some questions December 24, 2007

Okay got the phone, actually ordered it on Walmart which had it for $99 after mail in rebates. Anyway I've been playing around with it for about a week or so...feeling like a kid in a candy store every time I figure something out. Will admitt there are 10 steps when there could be 5 but still once you get the hang of it those steps seem to disappear. The camera is decent, slow at first and I haven't really figured out when its actually taking a picture leading to all the blurry snapshots I know have. It locked up on me last night which was the first night I've actually kept it on all night. Not a good thing since I use my phone as my alarm and it didn't go off this morning. Also the flashing blue and yellow light all night reminded me of a lighthouse beacon in the dark, again not another good thing since I prefer to sleep in the dark...can that be turned down?
Here are the rest of my questions...thanks in advance
1. Can you start a text message while on a call? I've gotten a few but can't figure out how to send one(not reply).
2. How do you copy a file to another folder, in particular MP3's. I like certain things to play for different things such as missed calls, texts, incoming emails. The sounds they have are not what I have in mind but I can't seem to copy a file over.
3. Is there anyway you can prevent the phone from going black while on a call?
4. I went to manual mode for email downloading and yet it still does them on its own how do I prevent that from happening again?

The Tilt combines the best of the other smartphones. December 22, 2007

I researched my new phone obsessively. I just couldn t decide between the TMobile Dash the TMobile Wing and the Blackberry Curve. I tested them endlessly in the store, trying 2 at a time out simultaneously to compare speed and visuals while surfing the web. I made a list comparing each one with pros and cons. I checked out reviews on amazon cdnet pcmag etc. My friends were starting to worry. But with each product there was something missing - one only had a 1 MP camera, another had no touch screen, another had too limited a keyboard. What features would I have to do without?
I expanded my search to non-tmobile products. LG Voyager, others. Then I ran across the AT&T Tilt. After viewing the specs on the Tilt I decided to check one out in the store. After using one my decision was suddenly a no-brainer. With the Tilt I didn t have to compromise because it had all the strengths of the other three I had been considering in one phone plus features none of the others had . The 3G made internet surfing SO much faster than the others. The keyboard. WiFi. Bluetooth. Touchscreen. GPS. The best dedicated keys. Scrollbar. Windows Mobile 6. 3 megapixel camera. Tiltable. Technology is changing so quickly things become outdated before you know it. I knew I'd be "stuck" in a 2 yr contract so I wanted to pick something I felt had the best hardware to stave off obsolescence. And with the tilt I found it. It is easy to use it has helped me in multiple aspects of my job already after one day.
The minor negatives are subpar speaker sound- it's more geeky than the sexier iPhone -it attracts attention and envy (not good if you don't like these things) and the battery drains quickly. Buy a car charger- extra battery or extended battery
Great phone if you're commited to getting it set up right December 22, 2007

First I have to emphasize: CONFIRM YOUR FEATURES/PLANS WITH ATT IMMEDIATLEY - they did not have the data messaging plans on my account and I've been hitting the Internet etc hard for the last week. I called customer service and they fixed the account and said that they would remove the charges when my bill comes out.
As far as the phone, read Mary Jo Sminkey's review. I'll add that about a week in I had a problem where the OS froze (expected this with windows). I had to shutdown the phone after which it would not reboot. I had to remove the battery and replace it. Only then would it boot.
After a week I've probably spent only a few hours doing research on the various apps/hacks to install. I've only added google maps and vtap so far (which is great). I plan on spending many more hours setting this up perfect. There's a ton out there for the phone.
One more note, After you launch google maps, make sure to select "use GPS" from the menu - otherwise you'll get a best guess radius of your location from the cell phone towers. This threw me off the first day.
