 Buyer Beware (if you are not a computer geek, ie) May 5, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
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

Don't buy it, it certainly doesn't live up to it's hype, Buggy, buggy, buggy!
It's pathetic!
 Much nicer than my last HTC device May 4, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I got this one to replace a T-Mobile MDA (also an HTC device). This one is both slimmer and (in my experience) more reliable, although perhaps part of that is that AT&T's service has much better coverage in my area than T-Mobile does. I may be biased by the fact that my MDA would drop calls if you talked on it for five minutes or so (heat buildup, maybe) but anyway Windows Mobile 6 has a few nice ease of use improvements such as the icon to easily shut down or switch ro running programs from the Today screen. The keyboard is a huge improvement over the previous versions also.
I've also found the GPS to be useful, in combination with the latest Google Maps app.
Feature full but sluggish May 3, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I find this SP featurefull but it is slugish. See below for the pro and cons of this phone.
Pros:
1. It is feature full phone, means this has all features you will expect in a computer. For a computer geek it is perfect.
2. It suports a large capacity micro SD card up to 32GB(I bought 4GB for this phone).
3. Has inbuilt GPS so you can use various GPS s/w available like Garmin(i use this since it is fully loaded on SD), telenav, etc ...
Stereo bluetooth.
Cons:
1. It is slugish at time and there have been few instances when I has to switch off this phone to come back to life.
2. Camera on this phone is not very good compared to other phone camera I have used in past. In room conditions picture and video quality is very poor. It is good outdoors in day light only.
3. Less battery life, battery keeps going less. You will need a car charger, etc to keep going, specially if you use bluetooth or GPS features constantly.
