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.)

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.

phone is great depending on what you need it for. July 22, 2008 EDUCATING MOM (NY,NY) I have had very few complaints about this phone. Yes it's a little heavy, but it goes in my pocket so no big deal. I'm not tech-savvy and rarily use it for work. I primarily use it for appointments, e-mail and internet use, games ( bubble breaker is addictive )and of course, cellphone. Like everyone else I agree the ptt button is a waste. ( i'm going to try to reconfigure it ) Battery life isn't the greatest so buy a spare for 12$. I've researched cellphones for about a month before I picked this one.( Loved and wanted a blackberry but was not a fan of a trackball and the keys looked too small. ) The camera needs to be still in order to take a really good picture. I do like office mobile and like the fact it has an optional gps. Also , I love the wifi. The speakerphone works fine. Other reviewers had problems but not me and I use it daily. So much better than the razr! All in all, this phone is for me.
Great Phone July 21, 2008 Catherine A. Balzer ___Beginning Remarks___ I'll present this review in a simple manner, and list the pros and cons and observations in no particular order. __Review__ The User Interface is very complex, and will take time to learn. Quite the converse if any individual is used to an apple product. This really isn't terrible, but you'll find yourself becoming aggravated for the first few hours of operation. Keyboard works well with texting. The keys are pretty crisp, and work well. There are a whole lot of buttons. You'll find yourself overwhelmed with the amount of buttons, i really appreciate the texting button which makes replying a snap. The Tilt is a bit sluggish at times. And the startup of the phone is painfully long, you'll find yourself turning on the phone in your pocket just to avoid looking at the loading screens. Battery life isn't all that great. It lasted me quite a bit, but it's really nothing special. This is a powerful machine and a shorter battery life can be expected. Syncing Music is simple, drag and drop is a god sent. I'd recommend buying a 2g miniSD if you plan on putting lots of music or movies. Touch screen really relies on the stylus,although one could use the scroll wheel, and fingers to text without using the stylus. __3 Cons and Pros__ My 3 Main Cons, Battery Life (to short) Startup Time (much to long) User Interface (to confusing) My 3 Main Pros, Expandable Memory Plenty Of Functions Texting is Superb __Conclusion__ Overall if you can look past the main concerns, you'll enjoy this phone. The Tilt really takes some time getting used to, it's very complicated and not recommended for anyone challenged with technology. I'd recommend it over the iPhone3G. Be a pariah, go buy this over the iPhone :]
Forget using this thing outside during daylight hours July 15, 2008 Carrie V. (San Francisco) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had this phone for one month and had to get rid of it. Two weeks in it just completely died and the battery charger wouldn't charge it. AT&T sent me a replacement phone in the mail. On both phones the screen was a complete joke during daylight hours....I compared it to my friend's iPhone and my work Blackberry and had a good laugh. You cannot see one thing unless you literally cup your hand over the screen to create shade. If you make a call, the screen goes black to "save battery", so you cannot key in follow-up numbers or passwords to retrieve your voicemail. It is also bulky as hell and really uncomfortable to hold while texting. Terrible camera, horrible speakerphone clarity. I'm buying a personal Blackberry instead. Do NOT waste your money on this thing.
Good Features, Bulky Phone, Clunky software July 15, 2008 Jaffrey W. Ali (McLean, VA United States) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This phone on paper has every feuture one could dream of. However, the phone itself is pretty big and heavy. Here are my main compaints about this phone: - The screen is touch sensitive, yet the UI is terrible to use with your fingers. For almost anything you have to extract the stylus which is stuck at the bottom of the phone. - Camera is horrible! - The windows mobile browser is really small and practically useless with real web pages. - Bluetooth volume is very low - Today screen layout is terrible and cannot be used with your fingers at all! - The OS hangs often and needs to be rebooted. - The phone dial keypad is not precise at all. - All the built in smart features (such as the smart dialing) makes life worse and trying to turn them off is another thing! This is definitely a geeky phone and I think the Tilt v. the iPhone perfectly sums up the Windows v Mac commercials :)
No More Phones from HTC July 10, 2008 F. Rowe 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After Replacing my 8525 several times, AT&T finally replaced it with a Tilt. The potential of the phone is fabulous, but the undependability is just too much. Sporadic resets and loss of data, software glitches, hardware failure along with its all too unique accessories, which even AT&T stores don't carry, overwhelmed its potential. I would not recommend these phones.
