Amazon.com Product Description
The slim, pocket-sized AT&T Tilt smartphone is bursting at the seams with a full-menu of wireless capabilities to keep you connected wherever you roam on this globe--quad-band GSM for global roaming, Wi-Fi, EDGE, and 3G data connectivity via AT&T's UMTS/HSDPA-based BroadbandConnect network. Practical and versatile, the phone's face slides open to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard while the screen tilts for optimal viewing of email, spreadsheets, and web videos. It also adds the power of the Windows Mobile 6 operating system (Professional Edition), which provides push email for immediate send and receive as well as editing of Microsoft Office documents. (See more details about Windows Mobile 6 below.) With its high-speed 3G network capability, you'll be able to access AT&T's Mobile Music and Cellular Video services, and the phone includes the latest version of Telenav GPS Navigator for turn-by-turn directions while on the go. One of the most powerful, feature-packed smartphones on the market, the AT&T Tilt also includes a 3-megapixel camera (with video capabilities), Bluetooth connectivity with stereo music streaming and multiple connection capability, MicroSD memory card expansion up to 4 GB, and a variety of games for when you need a break (including Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 and Ms. Pac-Man). 
The AT&T Tilt is a veritable wireless Swiss Army Knife, with quad-band GSM, tri-band 3G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity as well as a GPS receiver. | AT&T Service
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. The AT&T 3G network uses the UMTS 850/1900/2100 network (also known as WCDMA), making it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services with speeds up to 3.6 Mbps. It also gives AT&T the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services. You'll also enjoy 3G broadband speed connectivity across the globe with tri-band UMTS/HSDPA capabilities, which allows the Tilt to operate in Japan and Korea, in addition to the more than 135 countries in which AT&T offers international data roaming. In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) service and the Internet while on the go. Cellular Video features content from CNN, The Weather Channel, iFilm, Comedy Central and exclusive premium content from HBO and much more. It also features AT&T Mobile Music, which provides access to Napster and eMusic subscription services as well as Music ID song-recognition software, music videos and The Buzz music news portal. The handset is XM Radio Mobile-capable, so you can enjoy streaming live digital radio as well. (An AT&T MEdia Max subscription bundle is recommended for accessing AT&T's Internet, video, and music services.) 
Like a micro laptop, the AT&T Tilt features a full QWERTY keyboard and a face/touchscreen that tilts up to 40 degrees. | Phone Features
Akin to a micro laptop, the AT&T Tilt's face/touchscreen tilts up to a maximum of 40 degrees, and the variable screen angle can be positioned to suit your needs, whether you're catching up on email, browsing the Web, or playing a game. The QWERTY keypad offers roomy, rectangular buttons that are tactile and backlit, making it easy to type with both thumbs while on the go. The large 2.8-inch touchscreen has a 240 x 320-pixel resolution and support for up to 65K colors. It sports a 256 MB memory (not all user available) and a MicroSD memory card slot, which is compatible with the latest 4 GB capacity. This smartphone has an integrated Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g), enabling seamless connectivity with wireless networks at work, at home, and on the roam via Wi-Fi hotspots at airports and coffee shops. For an additional charge, you can connect to any of the 10,000 AT&T hotspot locations in the U.S. and tens of thousands more abroad. The AT&T Tilt supports Bluetooth 2.0, which allows up to six Bluetooth devices to be wirelessly connected simultaneously to the device--one of which can be a Bluetooth stereo headset for listening to music. Featuring the latest version of Telenav GPS Navigator, you'll enjoyGPS-enabled turn-by-turn voice and on-screen driving direction, colorful 3D moving maps and traffic delay alerts with re-routing for use in vehicles or while walking. New features debuting on the Tilt include address sharing--allowing you to share your location with friends and associates--and reading, rating and sharing business listings like restaurants and more. Business users also can utilize TeleNav Track a fully hosted, on-demand and comprehensive GPS-based workforce-management solution. In addition to Microsoft Direct Push, the AT&T Tilt will be the first Windows Mobile device in North America to include the Blackberry Connect email service, which also enables familiar wireless synchronization of calendar, contacts and tasks for users. BlackBerry Connect 4.0 supports push email for Microsoft Exchange Server, Lotus Notes/Domino and Novell Groupwise through the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and personal email through the BlackBerry Internet Service. You can also use the AT&T Tilt to access your personal email through AT&T's Xpress Mail service, enabling you to receive email from most major POP3/IMAP personal email services pushed to the AT&T Tilt at pre-set intervals. AT&T Xpress Mail can perform two-way wireless synchronization of their calendars, access contact lists and view attachments. Beyond business functionality, the AT&T Tilt is made for fun and games as well. The device is preloaded with free and premium games and applications including Ms. PAC-MAN, Brain Challenge, Bubble breaker, Midnight Pool, Solitaire, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07, MobiTV, and MyCast.

Good phone, but..... July 1, 2008
I just got this about two weeks, is pretty good actually.
The only complaint is the battery little bit suck!!! Really-really take long to charge it, about 3 hours and last maybe one hour if you use it a lot like I do use intenet or game for my daughter.
If the battery last longer, I could give 5 star. Sorry!
But the phone is good.
 Very Disappointing June 17, 2008

I spent a tremendous amount of time shopping for a "smart phone" - looking at reviews on amazon.com, cnet, consumer reports, etc...I had previously used a Blackberry 8600 series, which I loved, but was excited at the prospect of using the office mobile products, having the touch screen and the camera. I am not a genius, but I consider myself fairly tech savy.
Despite all of the research and trying out different phones in stores, I now find myself exactly where I did not want to be - tied into a two year contract and an expensive phone that is of very limited use.
Some of my problems with this phone, off the top of my head:
1. It moves really slow. I suspect that this is because it is bogged down with so much software (which i remember professional reviews mentioning too, but I ignored).
2. Everything seems to take at least four "clicks" on four different screens. For instance, if I want to get my email, even though I have it set to remember my passwords and log on every few minutes to check for updates and download all messages and attachments, I have to often first log on, wait for it to log in, wait for it to get headers, and then either tell it to get full message or sometimes it will get all the messages on its own. If one is reading an email it does not download internet pictures on its own. In order to get internet pictures you have to click on the button that says internet pics were not downloaded and then click on the next link that comes up that asks if you want to download the pictures now.
No, I just clicked on the first link for the heck of it, because I have nothing better to do than to validate the shortcomings of this electronic gizmo.
3. It is very hard to get a signal - the phone is so-so but for the internet (including getting email) 1/2 the time it is stalled out and I have to shut the thing off before I can start it again.
On the plus side, this phone got me so fed up with windows-based products that I bought a MacBook Pro last week. It is GREAT! Now I am just saving my pennies for when the new iPhone comes out.
 Great phone! June 16, 2008

I LOVE this phone! It is so much better than the iPhone! First of all, I can replace the battery with a fully charged battery whenever it gets low. (And I use my phone quite a bit!) I also love that I can link it to my satelite dish at home to watch HBO, Disney channel, along with all of the standard channels. Of course, that's one of the reasons I go through so much battery power! The full Office Suite also comes in handy. My laptop fried and all I had to work with was this phone. I was able to write, save and print out recipies, take pictures, surf the net, bid and pay on ebay, etc. I don't have to settle for a limited internet experience. I could do the regular text thing, but why when I can do my regular e-mail thing? I also really like that I can expand my memory with a memory chip. I save everything to the chip and then transfer the chip. It makes back-ups a breeze! And while others are having their cars broken into for their GPS units, my phone uses Google Maps and its internal GPS and it is always on me. No need to worry for my car! What a great device! As far as the bloatware installed by AT&T, there are people who can take care of that for you. I found a person on ebay who "pimped" my phone for a very reasonable fee and now everyone who sees it wants one!
Lots of features, but hard to use. June 15, 2008

This thing is essentially more of a computer than a phone. It comes with windows mobile and really is a lot like a windows interface. There's something similar to windows explorer to get around to your files, you've basically got microsoft word, power point and excel available to you and you basically just open and close windows when using the phone.
This is not a phone you will be using your fingers with a lot. Most of the touch-activated objects on the screen are really small. So the stylus comes in handy often. It is a little hard to get to and in my opinion, is not stored in a very good corner of the phone for a right-handed person. There are ways to do a lot of things with the buttons, but often times you will run into a dead end and have to take the stylus out.
It takes quite a while to get used to navigating around the phone and after 4 days, I'm still having a hard time and I consider myself fairly technically inclined. This is my first experience with a full QWERTY keypad and personally, I don't like it. I much prefer being able to use one hand with predictive texting. I'd recommend anyone thinking about getting a full keyboard phone to try texting with it a few times first.
There are a wide range of features, which can be kind of hard to get to sometimes. It's not a very intuitive phone and definitely more of a work device than a fun device. If you are a technically inclined business person looking for a powerful work tool, this is it. If you're looking for something cool to impress your friends with, this isn't it.
Pros:
Great picture quality
Lots of features
Very customizable
Cons:
Camera take a LONG TIME to take a picture
It's big and heavy
Many tasks which are quick and easy on most other phones require many steps
Get used to using the stylus A LOT

Overall, this phone is good, but sometimes very hard to enter the phone number ( either you have to touch the screen or filp the phone and use the pad)
