What Customers Say About AT&T Tilt Smartphone (AT&T):

The downsides I see to this phone if I had to say any negatives,is syncing with the software. It has a video camera as well, which is decent.Its not really made for any type of fast action material but for that quick capture moments its a nice thing to have.You can play your MP3 files through this as well- and with a big storage card you can hold quite a few songs.I use a scandisk 8gb card and it holds a whole lot of songs.With freeware on the web, i am able to convert you tubes to play on my kaiser(tilt). But there plenty of free GPS programs you can use as long as you have a data plan.I use google maps and am pleased to say that I am happy with that. It'll lock into your postion and lead you to wherever you need to go.The internet on this is where it really shines and its fast.It has internet explorer on the phone but I highly reccomend downloading mini opera. i have had some issues sometimes getting it to sync.Its heavy than a lot of phones but if you were using a blackberry its about the same.Well it was pick between this & a blackberry pearl 8120.This smartphone does it all and its fun to use. i have never done this but I know it can be achieved.

Before making this review I wanted to be sure of everything on the HTC kaiser(tilt).I was in the market of looking for the ultimate smartphone and i found it with this phone.This phone has it all and I'm so happy with my purchase. Its actually a browser designed for cell phones.A great download that compliments the kaiser (tilt) phone "Live search" off the msn website.This will let you search, check weather,dining places,gas prices,GPS, directions,maps and so much more all on one webpage.I actually surf the web when I'm out of town for restaraunt phone numbers for carryout. It takes real good pictures for a camera phone, and its great for the quick capture moments.I had a motorola razor before with a 1.3 mgapxel rating and it was OK- but have a better camera means a difference between a good & bad picture.Its loaded with a lot of features with the camera as well. You have to look at it this way, to have a powerful smartphone of this caliber its a sacrfice. Some of my favorites our tippy,HTC customizer,HTC tweak software & trapster mobile.Theres also an abundance of shareware that is endless if you need that certain software for work or fun.I have heard complaints about battery life and true enough it can run low at the end of day.The GPS & internet will really draw out some battery life & i hear the bluetooth can do it as well. Also if i need directions I don't need to ask someone just punch it in the web on google maps or live search and it'll get me there.If you have a data plan as well you can tether it with a laptop and use it as a modem. i got it on Amazon for free after a 50 dollar mail in rebate. Its actually more of a pocket computer with everything it is able to do.This is more than a phone and can do so much and i'm serious when i say that.With the phone is pretty decent and does a good job.This has windows Mobile 6.1 OS so you can sync it with your computer.I also downloaded a phone dialer that i can use my fingers to punch up the number or from your conatc list.

You can change some of your setting as well like your backlight & turning off unneeded stuff like wifi & bluetooth. The external speaker sounds decent but I reccomend a paid of headphones.I hear you can do bluetooth headphones but i don't own a pair. You can use the automatic settings or set it up yourself manually. There our things you can do though, of course charge any chance you can.If you go online they have free tweak software(donations accepted), that will help the performance of your kaiser & the battery life. you can punch it in with the stylus.I actually prefer to slide out the phone and use the keyboard.Its a full keyboard and the keys our decnt sized even for my big fingers,lol.You can also attach pictures,or audio in your text message as well.It has built in WIFI so if you don't have a data plan you can tap into wireless internet at a business or other public places.

And it charges pretty quick anyways, so its really not an issue. I feel i made a good choice and i'm very happy with the kaiser phone.HTC has made a great smartphone,and i truly believe it is "the holy grail of smartphones"AT&T Tilt Smartphone (AT&T) I installed this I can see the difference.Charging my battery is not a big deal because if gets that low- i have an home adapter & car charger. With the sync software you can also do your calendar and have alarms go off for important dates.This also has built in GPS which is nice when your traveling out of town.AT&T has telenav (which they charge a fee). By the way this is bluetooth friendly and is pretty advanced in that dept.I mean if that isn't enough the internet is full of freeware programs that you can put into for free.

The great thing that I like about this smartphone is the 3 megapixel camera. its a much better browser to use, and you'll appreciate surfing the web with it. This also has instant messenger which looks nice but i have never used it on the phone.You'll really appreciate the rich features for text messaging.

At&t is to be held responsible for having shipped this device with its own Custom Firmware that slows down the performance.There seem to be many Bugs with the Keylock feature where the screen doesn't do what it is supposed too.I will write another review after I upgrade the Firmware to the one originally supplied by HTC This very capable piece of Hardware is supported by a crippled Operating System. It does not represent Windows Mobile in all its glory.

Couldnt receive or send calls or txts. It would read it for a short time then stop and finally it quit all together. It is a piece of crap. Today it stopped reading my SIM card.

Yes, it runs Windows, so it has some quirks like needing to be reset, but that takes all of 30 seconds to accomplish and fixes just about anything. If it had an X-Jack and a better processor, then it would completely replace it. The camera is the reason why I give the product only 4 stars.I was planning to pay AT&T's plan price of a couple hundred dollars for this, and it would have been completely worth it at that. Plenty of on-board memory to customize this to be anything you want it to be, and a memory expansion slot to boot.The data plan may be something that most people say is a waste of money, but I use the data features every single day, and so the price of the plan is cheap. Don't get me wrong, this device has plenty of processing power for being a PDA. It does everything I need, and is very convenient. That being said, it is still a very nice camera to have on hand for moments you need a shot but don't have your standard camera available. Even then, there are some limitations to what it can do on the web, but when I remind myself that it is a phone and not a full computer, the shortcomings are dwarfed by convenience.

It is simply that close to being a laptop replacement. I have had this phone for a couple of months now, and I have to admit that I am very impressed with it. When I checked my Edge speed, it was good at over 400k. When my neighborhood got upgraded to HSDPA, my download speed shot up to over 1mb.The only weak spot I have noticed is in the camera. Since it is a hardware item, and not antenna assisted, you can use Google Maps or download Windows Live and use the GPS for free.

The tilt keyboard takes some getting used to, but it does make life easier, or there is the on screen keyboard that will pop up if you prefer.The hardware GPS coupled with the power of Windows and Outlook (or better yet, Exchange) makes for an outstanding navigation tool. Any pictures I have taken come out with blur or white balance problems unless the shot is very well lit. With the discount and the rebate, it's a no-brainer. The camera does not have a flash, and the zoom is digital. Mine came with 5.0, but I upgraded to 6.1 the first thing, and that has made quite a difference. It has impressive specs for a US PDA, but they are not the whole story. It usually replaces my laptop for day to day activities.

Additionally, factor in the savings of getting a $600+ phone for free with the rebate, and what more could one ask for.The network data speeds are very decent. This can usually be circumvented by using Opera Mobile or other browsers. The only time I have an issue is when trying to view full clips of Youtube, instead of the mobile versions, which take less processor to decode. I think the problems that most people experience are due to Windows Mobile (again, it is Windows), or factors like Pocket IE not supporting full javascript or frame specifications, and not problems with the phone itself.

Let me say before getting started here, that if you really want to use and enjoy this phone to its full potential, you need to have a fully unlimited plan (minutes, txting, and data). GPSI use google gps/maps and can very easily get directions from where it locates me via satellite to my desired location. Use it as a modem for your laptop.This has easily been the Tilts most beneficial feature for me. I can plug in anywhere, go online AND TALK TO MY CLIENT ON THE PHONE AT THE SAME TIME.

It can be a slight hassle getting used to everything, but it's worth a slightly longer learning curve. Great feature when I'm lost or on the freeway.The reverse on this would also prove useful though I have not had occasion to use it. Your enter their location as the start point and your gps located location as the the end point and Voila.3. I can make calls one handed, and text. But is it still a phone.Finally, as a phone and for everyday use it is pretty friendly. Even if you don't think you use your phone that much, you will want to when you get the tilt.I'll cover just three points to keep this review reader-friendly:1.

If your car breaks down or you are lost you can call someone to pick you up and have directions to find you easily at hand. In conclusion,Whiners will always whine, but perfection doesn't exist and if you're going to rate things like it does, everything will suck.If you're not a whiner, this phone is for you. I don't have to wander the streets looking for a hot spot. Even my IT guy's phone couldn't do that.2.
