 Great so far May 11, 2008
well, I bought this phone on april 24th when it was offered for free after rebate, so in that regard I can not complain.
as for the phone its self, I also can not complain. when I recieved the phone it was very fast in response, and nothing to complain about what so ever. It noticed my home wifi right away, and logged on without issue.
I then upgraded to the newest HTC software, and it was still very responsive. I have since installed a few upgrades in the way of HTC home customizer, a new dialer, google maps. and it is still very responsive, but notice a very slight slight delay, but nothing worth bashing the tilt over. after market software at times will do that, so you do it at your own risk and well I can not complain.
there are other ROMs, available that speed things up and have more customizing capabilities, but I have not gotten to that point yet.
I love the tilt and do not regret it one bit!!
the iphone is crap compared to the tilt. yes it is thinner, but has very limited customizing,even after their new program addition it is sitll crap since you have to pay to customize it and there is not enough things out there to make it a better phone.
not to mention, add a 4gig, 8gig, 16gig or 32gig micro sd card to the tilt and it will clober the iphone even more so then now!!
tilt is the way to go in terms of what it offers!!
It's okay.. May 10, 2008
I like the device. I came back to a Windows Mobile device after owning the iPhone for about 6 months. I found that I missed some of the applications that can be installed. I must say, I do miss my iPhone. Perhaps after their 3G version comes out next month, then maybe that will be the version that allows you to install apps. In that case, I will switch back in a heartbeat. Don't get me wrong, the AT&T Tilt is a good device. However, it is very sluggish in comparison to the iPhone. Also, the iPhone's browser is King! So I guess the Tilt will have to hold me over for a few more months.
 terrific phone! May 8, 2008

a lot of the positive reviews pretty much already talked about why i like this phone so much....with one exception. the battery lid could have been desinged better. a few people are complaining about the phone not responding when you try to "wake" it up and you have to re-seat the battery to reboot the phone - well, i've had the same thing happen to my phone, and it turned out that the battery lid just was not placed snugly enough (although it looked like it was). so the trick is to push firmly on the lid from top to bottom when placing it back on the phone.
 Buyer Beware (if you are not a computer geek, ie) May 5, 2008

On a geekiness scale of 0-10, I am a 5 (ie, can handle some amount of technological complications, but get lost if it gets too complicated). If you are like me, please read on. As a matter of reference, I am writing this after spending a total of around 15 hours of trying to figure this out.
I bought this phone after seeing the enthusiastic reviews listed on top... big mistake. Yes, this phone offers a lot of 'stuff' that you may need, and is technologically more loaded than an iPhone.
HOWEVER, it is clunky, and I think you need a degree in computer sciences before you can use all it has to offer.
1. It took me a few weeks to get it to synchronize with my computer. For some reason, the software did not load properly for the first 2 times, and I kept struggling to figure out why I could not see anything on my desktop with regards to my outlook items. Finally, I had to reinstall it, and then it now synchs ok. What I right did the 3rd time about that I had messed up the first 2 times, I have no idea!
2. Wi-Fi connectivity. I have a wireless network @ home, but haven't been able to connect the tilt phone to it. I have gone to the setting page, played around with all the settings, and finally gave up.
3. I downloaded Google Maps onto this phone, and found that it loads so slowly, that it is virtually useless. Especially if you are driving and are looking for someplace.
4. GPS doesnt connect to the satellites with even a minimum obstruction - if you are a car, the signal doesnt pick up. So, you have to stop, hold the phone out in your hand before it picks up. You may just as well buy a separate GPS unit.
5. I have used the camera a couple of times and the pictures are terrible (unless I am doing something really wrong with the camera feature), the camera feature is useless.
6. The phone feels heavy and clunky. The keyboard isnt exactly friendly to use... and I dont even have terribly big hands/finger. I have friends who have blackberry phones and they tell me it is easier than this.
7. As with all things Windows, none of the features are intuitive to set up. You have to go to program->settings and then you get lost in the various tabs/options there are. Definitely not made in a manner that allows you to buy it, and start using it right away without a glitch.
Overall, even though this phone is supposed to be capable of a great many things, I am going to use this only as a 'simple' phone, which I guess I could do with a phone that costs 10$.
If you are planning on buying this, do try to find someone who has it, try it before you put the money down and get locked into a contract.
 It's a complete piece of s**t May 4, 2008
