User Submitted AT&T Tilt Smartphone (AT&T) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-07-15 Good Features, Bulky Phone, Clunky software This phone on paper has every feuture one could dream of. However, the phone itself is pretty big and heavy. Here are my main compaints about this phone: - The screen is touch sensitive, yet the UI is terrible to use with your fingers. For almost anything you have to extract the stylus which is stuck at the bottom of the phone. - Camera is horrible! - The windows mobile browser is really small and practically useless with real web pages. - Bluetooth volume is very low - Today screen layout is terrible and cannot be used with your fingers at all! - The OS hangs often and needs to be rebooted. - The phone dial keypad is not precise at all. - All the built in smart features (such as the smart dialing) makes life worse and trying to turn them off is another thing! This is definitely a geeky phone and I think the Tilt v. the iPhone perfectly sums up the Windows v Mac commercials :) Date: 2008-07-10 No More Phones from HTC After Replacing my 8525 several times, AT&T finally replaced it with a Tilt. The potential of the phone is fabulous, but the undependability is just too much. Sporadic resets and loss of data, software glitches, hardware failure along with its all too unique accessories, which even AT&T stores don't carry, overwhelmed its potential. I would not recommend these phones. Date: 2008-07-09 Good Windows-based smart phone I've had my Tilt for about seven months now. So far, it's been a great phone, definitely fulfilling my needs (a good phone that can also function as a PDA and manage email). Email and calendar functions work great. I've had no problems with receiving/making phone calls other than the dialpad is not as easy as I would like; voice quality is quite good. The camera works fine; it would be nice to have a flash but I don't use it that much. It was relatively easy to find a variety of free software on the 'net (like LiveSearch and Viigo) that are very nice to use; there are also some great sites out there to help improve the Today screen and to remove the bloated software that AT&T insists on putting on there (like all the "free" game demos). Pros: Very easy to set it up to retrieve email from home and work as well as my personal gmail account. Keyboard is very nice and far easier to use than other smart phones Phone works very well Tethering the phone to my laptop works very well, I can connect my laptop to the internet from anywhere now Bluetooth works great with my hand-free system in my car Cons: Dialpad is hard to use with my thick fingers, sometimes requiring the stylus to dial which is a pain Video/Music playback is not great Proprietary headphone jack is ridiculous Battery does not last very long and has to be charged nightly Date: 2008-07-09 Bye Bye iphone Okay- I am not a cell phone expert, but I must admit, this phone is nice. It's 100% better than the iphone. I read a review from a customer stating that she's waiting for the new iphone to come out and the tilt will hold her over- I would just like to say, I never want another iphone, I dealt with it for 11 months. It was appealing and the next new "it" in cell phones- but just could not do what I needed it to do for work. Well- the tilt is a mini laptop and with the rebate and getting the phone for 74.00, I can't complain. I will suggest the phone to others. I had a hard time choosing between the tilt and blackberry but--- will see. Thanks to those who wrote efficient reviews with feedback, as I knew what to expect when I received my new cell ...bye bye iphone : )- Date: 2008-07-08 Phones Performs Well But It's Too Fragile My son got this phone from AT&T. He loved it...until the touch screen shattered when it was in his pocket and he was helping his Dad put a boat cover on our boat. He was devastated. He called HTC and they told him it would cost $198 to get a new one! HELLO. This phone was TWO weeks old. I had two Treos and dropped them on numerous occasions and they never broke. This phone seems to be geared to kids because it's too complicated for most adults to use (and it's ideal for texting...which they do). The manufacturer needs to make this phone tougher. I was watching my son and he was doing nothing extraordinary when it shattered. It's ridiculous. Beware if you want to buy this product. It's made too fragile and they don't back their product.
