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.

Customer Reviews
Please help yourself.... Don't buy it ..
It has been 6 weeks that I bought this Motorola Q9c. I had palm treo 650 before.
This phone has has been absolutely disaster. I bought this from sprint. It hung up with 1 hr of use and I could not restart it. Sprint sent me another new one which worked for few days..but now it keeps hanging up atleast once or twice a week......and every time I have to hard reset it ..which means I lose all my saved data, settings, pictures, calender, applications that I newly install....I have to sync it all over again to get my data back...but moreover it has been so frustrating....I just hope that its rarest of rare cases but with me it happened twice with two brand new Motorola Q9c ..so it can't just be conincidence....there is somethign seriously wrong with technology...plam has never given me any problem for more than 2 years....it has been crazy...Motorola want me to send to them for repair but they are not ready to provide a alterntive phone to me while it is being repaired.....it has very god features on paper but what if you have to hard reset it every week??...moreover it is not at all user friendly..I mean how can u explain that you have to press 2 keys to lock the phone and then 2 different keys to unlock it....palm was so simple...I am regretting my decision to buy Motorola...I am now planning to try Black berry or Samsung...But one thing I did not understand that is it the problem of Window Mobile operating system or Motorola Hardware..but whatever it is ..it has made my life hell.....
I know these are harsh words but I am just sharing what I have experienced...
Thanks

My first smartphone
Ok I was surprized at the size. It's a bit larger than I thought (since I ordered it online) and now my marketing introduction to the phone is: "it also doubles as a personal protection device..." You can always hurl it at a thief, the impact should be stunning.
The screen is bright indoors, but, can't read it well in direct sunlight. Which means if you are using the fabulous camera in daylight, you are going to have to guess at the backlight, or maybe I haven't found that feature yet.
I installed an 8GB storage card, which I thought, at first, wouldn't work. The Device has two icons: "Storage Card" doesn't recognize the card until you save something on it. "format Card" (which you really don't need) says the card is greater than 4GB. That aside, when I used the synch manager I was easily able to synchronize music, videos and photos to my phone.
I was also able to synch contacts from my outlook address book, without problem. First clean them up and remove those that you don't want, and make sure it is the only contacts book that is configured for your outlook email.
Hooking up to POP/SMTP mail was a breeze - and Live Messenger integrates seamlessly. Google maps also works on the phone.
The external speaker is really wonderful. Clear and full, both with music and phone calls.
I found the phone call headset quite loud and clear. The volumn was really surprizing. The speakerphone, folks tell me, sound like I'm in a big room.
So far the batteries are good, two to three days on standby. I haven't used the extended battery. And I haven't found an external charger for the batteries, yet. Right now, if you want to charge the extra batteries, you have to put them in the phone. Charging is fast, though.
Connecting to the computer is a breeze, and the phone seems to charge while it is connected. Although I have read other reviews that say it doesn't. I am not using a charging station, just using the USB to MicroUSB to hook up to the computer.
Media Player and ITunes will automatically synch with the phone.
The keyboard is really nicer than other blackberry-styled phones. Easy to find the keys, although I do agree with one review - the letters and numbers aren't synchronized, so if the phone number is: 1-800-call-me, you are going to have to figure out which numbers to dial.
Voice recognition does work, but only from a headset or when a headset is plugged in and the device is set to hands-free. I had an older bluetooth, and had to remove it from my ear and put it in front of my mouth for the phone to recognize the caller. (the same was true for my old phone). There are no instructions that tell you this, but at least you don't have to record each contact name for the phone to recognize it.
The phone comes with Windows Mobile, and depending on your provider, with a lot of applications.
The phone comes with a wall charger - very quick charging, and travel adapters for the microUSB, and bluetooth stereo headset adapter to microUSB.
Cons:
You can have a lot of programs running. To save power, you have to go to the task manager and kill programs.
Photo snap shots saved to the storage card you have to search for, although I did manage to see them in the thumbnail viewer, once, but can't figure out how I did it. :)
The video screen is small, about an inch, with the Media Player header and footers taking up most of the space. I'm going to have to see if there is a setting to view full screen.
My super Jabra battery-bluetooth doesn't work with the phone. Rats. It doesn't recognize it. My old Motoroloa bluetooth (with about 2 hours of talk time) worked fine, but then you have to haul the second charger around or invest in an Igo power system and the appropriate adapters.
Not all Motorola bluetooths come with the same microusb charger connector.
The controls are really easy to use, and I haven't quite gotten to the part where you can configure soft keys, so I have to spend time searching for stuff.
Now, the size. Yes, it is not a tiny phone. If you put it in a holster, it is a large holster. Works fine for a purse, briefcase, or suit pocket. If I am out walking, the holster looks like a growth under my T-shirt. :)
There are a lot of little attachments that you need to keep around: stereo headsets, bluetooth headset, extra battery.. a nice case would be helpful.
---------
Other than that, I am thrilled that I don't have to buy a media device and carry two things around. If you like gadgets, then this phone meets the bill.

Fun gadgets!
I just recently bought my Moto q (from ATT) I have to say it keeps me pretty busy just fooling around with the features. I just renewed my plan and actually got this phone for 50 bucks! ATT has great deals. ON TOP OF THAT! The phone was refurbished (explaining the $50 part) I cant complain about the phone at all. I recieved it and it and it might as well be brand new! Sure beats the Cingular 8125 (one I previously owned before the Moto) it may be large in height and width, but its as thin as a razor. No complaints at all!

makes me wish I kept my Treo
I was very excited to pick up the new Q. I was having a bluetooth issue on my older treo, and decided to upgrade wo Windows Mobile based upon all the hype. That was a huge mistake. My old Treo 650 runs circles around this poor device.
The good - well it does look pretty.
The bad - it is slow. Glacierly slow. It is large, with crazy bulge for battery.Did I mention it is slow? Software is subpar from 5 year old Palm offerings, no threaded SMS, are you kidding me? Oh yeah - almost forgot, it is slow.
It took about 45 minutes for that new car feeling to come to a crashing halt. I was sure I was doing something wrong when the SMS client did not thread messages. I went back to the Sprint store, confessed my stupidity, and then was shocked to find out that WM does not support threaded SMS (of course I have since learned if I want to install software that will make Sprint immediately refuse to service my phone, I can get threaded SMS, for only 50 bucks, no thank you.)
The calendar is pathetic, the views show too little information, and do not have a graphical representation of your day, so you do not get an idea of what free time you have. Adding a new appointment is laborious.
The email client is great at first, but the menus are so deep in layer after layer, that customization of your email client is too time consuming.
Speaking of menu's why must I navigate 7 separate screens to clear the voicemail icon?
I will not mention the smaller display or the lack of touch screen.
I am looking for a used treo, this thing is miserable.

Great phone
I have had this phone for a few months now and I really like it. It's fairly light (though wide) and solid. The features are really nice to have. The sound is good. I have not used it as a music player yet (and likely won't) but for phone, email, texting it's great.
The only thing I find hard is "typing" on those keys because they are so far at the bottom of the device that it tends to pitch backwards because I have to hold it at the very bottom. I would love to see a phone where the display is at the bottom and the keys on top so I can hold it with my whole hand instead of my tippy tips of my fingers. I also end up not using the internet much because it's soooooo slow and you can only see a teensy part of the website at a time (unless you zoom out, in which case you can't read jack). But it's good for those times where you're out with friends and just need to know how old Sally field is (62, in case you wondered).
I have some issues with ATT customer service, but that's another review...
