AT&T AT&T Tilt

 

Slider phones have become increasingly popular, but until now they've been limited to models that are best used with two hands. That changes with AT&T's newest Windows Mobile device, which you can either hold in your hands or rest comfortably on a...

Roomy slide-out screen tilts ; High-capacity microSD support

Shiny, difficult-to-read navigation keys ; Some operations are slow

It's a bit costly, but operates well as a device that fits in your hand and offers maximum flexibility.

HTC TyTN II review: Kaiser of PocketPCs

 

One of the hottest PDAs around lately, the HTC TyTN II is one feature-loaded son-of-a-gun. It's got what it takes to quench your daily communication needs, and more: HSDPA/HSUPA, Wi-Fi, 2.8" touchscreen TFT display, hardware QWERTY keyboard...

AT&T Tilt / HTC 8925

 

AT&T's new Tilt smartphone serves up major multimedia and messaging power.

Fast. High-speed, global wireless connectivity. Excellent integration with Microsoft apps. Good phone

Chunky design. BlackBerry Connect slows the device considerably ; Watch the AT&T Tilt Video Review

This brawny, do-it-all device integrates seamlessly with Microsoft apps to create the perfect mobile office for Windows users, while plenty of multimedia features, along with a nifty tilting screen, keep you entertained on the road.

This HTC device is the most feature-packed Windows Mobile phone yet and comes with an innovative screen-angle option.

Good call quality ; Long battery Life ; Lots of e-mail options, including BlackBerry Connect ; Sharp 3-MP Camera

Inconsistent performance ; Tilt design could be better for typing ; Doesn't support IM over Wi-Fi ; Bad sound with music and video

Hot 2-Way Slider Action With the Tilt

 

3G? It's in there. Wi-Fi? It's in there. GPS? It's in there. In fact, the AT&T Tilt promises, on paper, every wireless standard you could possibly ask for,

You'll never be offline (at least while the battery has juice): It contains just about every radio known to man. Very good call quality. Big, bright display. Tilt screen feature is much more useful than it sounds. Intuitive controls. Wide variety of...

Pitiful, nearly useless speakerphone. Pocket-challenging in size and hefty at 6.6 ounces. Windows Mobile lags and hampers productivity, particularly with web browsing. GPS service plan costs extra

AT&T Tilt

 

Whether you know it as the AT&T 8925, the HTC Kaiser, or the HTC TyTN II, this highly anticipated Windows Mobile 6 smartphone officially got its crowning today as the AT&T Tilt. And we'd say the name is quite fitting given that it has a slide-out...

The AT&T Tilt features a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard and a tilting screen. The Windows Mobile 6 smartphone also offers the full gamut of wireless options, including 3G and GPS, push e-mail, a 3-megapixel camera, and support for AT&TMusic and Video

Speakerphone quality wasn't the greatest, and talk-time battery life was on the shorter side. The Tilt was sluggish at times, and picture quality was subpar. We also had problems acquiring a GPS fix

The AT&T Tilt promises to be the carrier's most powerful smartphone for business users with its full range of wireless options, Windows Mobile 6, and innovative tilt screen.

AT&T Tilt Pics and Review

 

The AT&T Tilt also known as the HTC Kaiser or HTC TyTN II is the follow-up to AT&T's 8525, but rather than retaining the 8925 name, the design of the phone was incentive enough for AT&T to label the device: the “Tilt”. Personally the AT&T Tilt is our...
