User Submitted AT&T Tilt Smartphone (AT&T) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-06-07 Powerfull PDA but not USER FRIENDLY http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UWDU5K/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title Cons: 1. battery life is very short - bought second battery for 13$+shipping at amazon 1600 versus 1300 original. 2. no headphones jack - bought adapter usb-phone jack for 3$+shipping 3. because of short battery life - bought a universal charger for 6$+shipping from www.cellphoneshop.net 4. the numbers on keypad are not seen as well as letters because of really weared color of keypad - I'm powerfull keyboard user and remember Letters on keyboard otherwise, it is almost impossible to read them when typing. 5. PTT button is located on left top corner for device - i've pressed it many times when opening the keyboard or picking up the device - very annoying as the screen comes up that you need ot activate PTT and etc... 6. speakerphone volume absolutely low and can't hear anything if speakerphone is on. 7. the Today screen is not nice , very small and not convinient - lots of twiks need to be made in order to have NICE LOOKING and COMFORTABLE navigation/functions/display - look at http://www.pocketables.net/2008/01/10-tips-on-fixi.html#T1 after downloading twiks and some plug ins - I have complete joy of navigating and using all features of the device. 8.very gentle and not solid cover - I'd suggest to buy plastic cover . I bought cover 2$+shipping as well as carrying case 8$+shipping on amazon 9.original touch screen defender does not fit the screen - boutght for 8$ +shipping new one. 10. video drivers are awfull - if you plan to watch videos on this device - it is a joke. I have not plan to watch movies on this device. 11. can be better internet browser - I have downloaded opera. 12.speakerphone on the back of device? why? 13.camera on the back of device and can be easilly scratched if no cover used. - I'd prefer have camera on the front of the device. Procs Full specs for Kyzer - not twiked HTC model is here http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_tytn_ii-2024.php 1. powerfull device - pDA+wifi+bluetooth+camera 3mp+global( 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 ) 2. Qwerty keyboard 3. windows mobile 6 with VOIP - I can use skype to make PC-to-PC calls 4. touch screen with stylus - very important for me as I am stylus user for many years. 5. "rolling" navigation on the left side to be able to move up and down on the screen - great idea !!! and it is placed on left side - can use stylus and roll up and down at the same time - I'm write handed. 6. can put in sleep mode with quick button on right side of device - don't waste energy. 7. camera button in the right down position and I don't touch it when talking on phone or operating the device - in many previous phones I have occassionally press camera button unintentionally... 8.caps and shift buttons on the left side and one on top of another - very comfortable. 9. accessories can be found for not of much expense as well as phone itself can be bought now for 39$!!!!on newegg including all discounts and rebates....I payed 180$ including shipping and including 50$ rebate. 10.when i have installed all soft and plugins - it is really great device for money and for my needs to not use my laptop when on the road or just in as regular life 11. almost forgot - it is global multi-band device and can be used in europe and as well in Korea and japan with right ROM version adjustment. 12. Built in GPS is a bonus too - I use google but better Voice service navigation soft might be the desirable. I'm using it for one month - I will be glad if it will last year - year and a half. 13. no other phone/pda on the market that have all those features in one: wifi-blutouth-gps-3g-and multi band (including corea/japan/europe) capabilities. I looked at motorola 9q but has been told that USA version is not completely flexible to be used in asia. need to buy unlocked Europian version...etc.. I put 3 stars because of my hard work to make this device a better one and user friendly. Otherwise, I'd put it in 4.5 rate. Date: 2008-06-04 Great idea, poor implementation I'll be quick. Good idea here, poor engineering. When it works it's wonderful, but it hits snags way too often. I upgraded software as per customer service, it didn't help much. GPS is great when it works, but too often fails. Bluetooth stereo is great when it works, but too often it fails and devices have to be reset/repaired. I have to reboot an average of 4 times per week. One solid plus, the cell signal has been outstanding for me. I can get a connection and complete a call when my friends can't. If the next iPhone has GPS I will probably eBay my Tilt. Date: 2008-06-02 Excellent phone with some glitches This is a nice evolutionary improvement in smartphones. This is my first AT&T phone, I have used mainly Verizon to date with a sampling of Nextel/Sprint. The keyboard is fairly easy to use, I can type faster on this phone than any other I have had previously. The phone dialer is not as good as the Samsung i760, mainly due to the i760 having a dedicated number pad. I have also had the Treo 700wx. I rate the Tilt better than either of those previous phones. Two problems/annoyances: the phone dialer will be sluggish at times when dialing by number of name and the data sync for email (I use a corporate Exchange 2003 server) will just not work at times requiring a reboot. Otherwise the sound quality is good, works with stereo Bluetooth, mapping software is excellent and is otherwise powerful enough to run the software on the device quickly. Date: 2008-05-25 Works for ME This is the best phone I have ever owned! Extremly efficient in all aspects. Very user friendly with no problems or worries. I use this for everything it was made for. I own pretty much all the extras on the phone plan and accessories. Also, an 8GB sd card, stereo bluetooth headset, internet tethering for my laptop ALL which work excellent with my Tilt Phone. In my opinion the tilt Looks perfect, Feels Perfect, Performs Perfect, it is Perfect! 10.0 out of 10.0 Date: 2008-05-24 Simply the best This is one sweet deal. I have been looking at this phone along with the Touch and Blackberry devices and after 2 months of research I finally bought my Tilt. I'm an IT admin here in Seattle and love my techy stuff. Day one I had it setup to our exchange server which was great because I have my email, contacts, and shared calendar with me at all times. I also downloaded numerous applications to help tweak the phone and make it even better. Day two I backed up all my settings and unlocked the phone and tried out the Google Bata app. called Android. Of course, unlocking your phone will void the warranty but I couldn't resist. This phone has limitless possibilities and is practically a miniature laptop.
