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 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.)
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:
Vital Statistics Powered by Windows Mobile 6
With Windows Mobile 6, your phone will finally be able to emulate the power and features of your PC's Microsoft Office suite. You'll be able to neatly view, navigate and edit Word documents and Excel spreadsheets in their original formatting--without affecting tables, images or text--as well as view PowerPoint presentations.
All Windows Mobile 6 powered devices include Direct Push Technology for up-to-date e-mail delivery and automatic synchronization of Outlook calendars, tasks and contacts through Microsoft Exchange Server. It also offers a set of important device security and management features that include the capability to remotely wipe all data from a device should it be lost or stolen, helping ensure that confidential information remains that way. |

 Written on August 11, 2008 Summary: top noch okay....i recently got this phone a few months ago. before i got the tilt i had the phone that looked exactly the same...i believe it was the 8727 at&t phone. but i returned it because it froze on me. when i got this phone, i thought it was amazing. the camera worked good...for a phone. when you slide the phone so you could type on the keypad it tilts up for you which could very helpful. the speakers on the phone are really loud so if your someone who doesnt answer your phone because you couldnt hear it ring....won't be that type of person with this phone. i love its amazing just try it out for urself  Written on August 11, 2008 Summary: The best phone up-to-date I've had MS Smartphones and Pocket PCs, and this one is the best. Pros: 1. Huge number of features, 2. Finally phone lock is done well. There is a dedicated Power/Lock button, 3. Many hardware buttons (10 buttons + d-pad + jog-wheel). You can handle many functions with one hand. Buttons can be redefined. 4. Good back-lit keyboard. It has some useful special keys (OK, Tab). All special characters (@?:;...) are easily accessible through Fn key. 5. Very good GPS with quick lock. They have a method to speed up GPS lock. It works better than dedicated GPSes, 6. Quick and reliable WiFi, 7. Sturdy metal sliding mechanism, 8. Micro SD memory card 9. Standard mini USB data and charging, 10. Easy PC sync, 11. Fast processor and large memory, 12. Finally, OK fully closes programs. Cons: 1. Lack of profiles. Can be fixed with PhWeaver that offers unsurpassed functionality, 2. ATT bloatware. It can be removed by resetting the phone. Check the web. 3. Internet Explorer. Install Opera Mobile. 4. Heavy (on the other hand it is a pro, because the phone is very solid). 5. Original phone keypad not great. Replacements can be downloaded. Search the web for "10 tips on fixing common AT&T Tilt problems"  Written on July 31, 2008 Summary: Worst phone I have ever owned. Wanted to love it, but can't. I pre-ordered this phone prior to it's initial availability. I have pretty extensive experience with other smart-phone and PDA devices such as the Palm, Treo, Nokia 6682, and iPhone. The feature set on this phone is amazing and offers unparalleled functionality and possibilities, unfortunately the implementation is so ill-conceived that this phone is nearly useless. What's wrong with this phone? Here are the lowlights: - Battery life. I am lucky to make it to 5:00 p.m. with any battery left. I charge it every night, and don't use WiFi or Bluetooth - No profiles. Most every phone I have had has had the ability to select and/or configure profiles of ringtones. For example, I may want to set the phone to only ring when someone in the "Family" group calls. This is only available as an added program with the Tilt - AT&T bloatware. The extra software that AT&T installs slows the phone down and adds little value. My phone locked up repeatedly until I figured out a way to remove the installed AT&T customizations - The GUI. If there is a counter-intuitive choice for an interface convention, you can be sure that's the default behavior for the AT&T Tilt. For example, the screen blanks out while I am on a call. When I make a call, the keypad disappears. - Built in IE. Slow and jittery. - The mini-usb port is weak and subject to breaking. I had to return my phone twice under warranty and my 3rd phone is already intermittent. These phones live in a leather case, and are not abused (I use a wired headset). - It's a big heavy phone. - Intellitext (or whatever they call it) when typing text messages is simply annoying - not helpful - Picture quality for a 3 Mega Pixel camera is very poor - Buttons are only partially customizable without add-in programs Is there anything that I like about these phones? A few things: - You can customize them fairly easily. More easily then the iPhone. I've had several "skins" on mine, and that's helped with usability a bit, but not enough. - This phone is pretty "hackable". For example, you can edit the registry to fix errors, or change some undesirable default behavior. - Jog wheel is occasionally handy - Exchange connectivity works pretty well (ActiveSync) I really, really wanted to like this phone. But this phone has become like an annoying coworker that I have to put up with. I need it to get my job done, but most of the time the best I can say about it is that it didn't prevent me from getting something done, as opposed to actually improving the way I accomplish something. Written on July 31, 2008 Summary: piece of crap first off, the rating is 1-star only because i can't leave it at 0. i got this phone over the iphone because of the lack of MMS and QWERTY keypad on the iphone. boy, that was a HUGE mistake. when i initially bought the phone, i had it for only a week and a half when major bugs started showing up. the keypad text only shows up half of the time and it was taking literally 10 minutes to open programs. no joke. then, it started freezing so badly that the only way to shut it off was to remove the battery. during this time frame, i had not downloaded anything that could have disrupted the phone in any way. needless to say, i returned this phone and got a replacement. the replacement phone was great...for a month and a half. that's when all the issues from the first phone started happening again. with this phone, i refrained from downloading anything, period. all i can say is that this phone sucks big-time. Written on July 24, 2008 Summary: I like it I must admit that I hated this fone during the first few days. It was very user-unfriendly. Opening browser involved 3 steps. E-mail syncing was a mess. And the screen shutting down while on call was just plain annoying. But all that was until I stumbled upon few HTC Kaiser tips/tricks forums across the net. Then I did 3 things to my fone and my impression of it has changed from 1 star to 4 stars :) - First I uninstalled all the crapware that was loaded by AT&T (Setting > System tab > Clear Storage... this will reboot your device, once the device comes ON, it will start installing the crapware that you want to get rid of... so use your stylus and poke the little hole at the bottom... the system will reboot again... and you have a CLEAN phone now) make sure you backed up your phone book before doing this step though - Second I installed the "HTCHome" plugin... this made my home screen much easier to navigate and much much prettier to look at - Third I installed the "Kaiser Tweak" plugin... this will let you enable/disable all the settings in one simple step... you can disable the screen shut-off when making a call :) And of course, you can install Opera mini anytime to get that iPhonesque surfing capability The only reason I am not giving this phone 5 stars is because this fone does have a tendency to drop calls for no apparent reason. I used Blackberry 8700c before this (also on AT&T) and it never dropped calls. So I know that poor signal can not be the reason. But apart from a few dropped calls every now and then - I am loving my new kaiser. It is a very powerful device and I like it. I'm looking forward to install many new hacks/tricks in future. |
