I am looking into getting the AT&T Tilt. I need to know pretty much everthing about it. Can anyone give me some pro's and con's? Would you prefer it or not? Also, what plan do I need? I was looking at the PDA personal plan, but what exactly does that include? What do you guys reccommend

Re: AT&T Htc Tilt
what do you want to know? Everything? Phone Scoop
IMO:
Pros--HSPDA/HSUPA, GPS, QWERTY Keyboard, WinMo 6, tons of additional apps, Syncs with office, push email (exchange, blackberry or good)
Cons--size, battery life, WinMo! LOL

Re: AT&T Htc Tilt
unlimited internet...that's it. You might try to sneak the Media Max plan in which is $19.99 for unlimited internet and 200 text messages.

Re: AT&T Htc Tilt
One positive is the 3G, its ultra fast and works well
One Negative, the battery is horrible, battery technology just isn't good enough yet. If you get the device, turn off the bluetooth if not in use, since it uses about 4 times the power output of IR connections.
The keypad is nice, it works well, nice spacing between the keys. And the Windows Mobile 6 interface allows for connections to Exchange Server 2007 with HTML viewing of emails.
The device is a little bulky, but it offers easy access to business applications, and the Mobile 6 version is the professional version, which means you can not only view, but edit your MS Office documents right on the device.
Its a little pricey, but it really does offer alot of excellent features, including an easy to connect WiFi.
The browsing capabilities are something left to be fixed, I hate Mobile Internet explorer.

Re: AT&T Htc Tilt
I have had mine for a month and have really liked it. With medium phone use and internet use I easily get 3 days of on time before I'm down in the 20% range. One secret i have found with the Li-ion batteries is not to let them charge too long. When the LED turns green pull the plug. For some reason the charge software/ hardware doesn't like to be powered up for hours after it is fully charged.
Besides that I have used most of the features and devices on the phone and it performs very well. I did get the garmin GPS software, it runs REAL nice. On my last flight to LA it showed me I was travelling at 418MPH and even gave me a very accurate ETA!
I'll probably switch to another browser than IE, since it does have some limitations. I have the $39.95 smart phone plan, since that's what AT&T told me I needed with all the options on the Tilt. When I tried the $19.99 plan with another smart phone my TM didn't work.

Re: AT&T Htc Tilt
Look here for an alternate browser: Opera browser: Home page
I'll have to look further for places with other downloads.

Each applications are used depending on the different users based on customizing. Do some research and use a search engine to find applications that would best suit your use of the phone. One good site is XDA-Developers. BTW, feel free to ask away any questions there...

am I reading this post correctly, that if I have the $39.99 data plan on my tilt phone I cannot tether it to use as a modem for my laptop? because I have been trying (and failing) to get that to work, and it's the one thing I told them when I got the phone that I wanted to do.
thanks.
