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.) 
Like a micro laptop, the AT&T Tilt features a full QWERTY keyboard and a face/touchscreen that tilts up to 40 degrees. | Phone Features
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.

Customer Reviews
I've been so in love with a phone
My phone does everything except make toast. I think it might be able to do that too with the right software.
It's all the bells and whistles, even gets Blackberry server stuff.
Plus it has touch screen. ya gotta love touch screen. My thumbs don't hurt anymore.
It is a little heavy and thicker but better to carry a little tiny tilt to the airport than a laptop. This is a serious phone. You want toys get that poke in the EYE thingy.
So far my phone gets all the good business stuff.

Great so far
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..
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!
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)
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.
