 "Solid phone, lacking in one important aspect... a proper video driver" | 2008-10-02 |
| - Reviewed By dpcole7 | |
| I purchased this unit a couple of days ago, then upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1. An easy upgrade (even works on 64-bit Vista), WM6.1 is fairly straightforward to use, and stable overall. (I have had an applet crash, however.) It's a speedy performer out of the box, though sometimes screen refreshes were a little slow. It turns out there's a brouhaha over a lack of tightly integrated video drivers for this device, which is capable of running MUCH faster. Along with the crashing applet (an HTC background running utility; HTC is the company that actually makes the Tilt), I really hope they come along with a better video driver. This unit is good, and is a good Smartphone PDA, but it could do better. The keyboard is awesome. The touch screen is as sensitive as my previous PDA (iPaq 2755). Boots fast. Has a crisp, bright screen. And whose processor is NOT Intel ARM-based. This needn't worry you unless you're into using hacking, overclocking, or other gray-area utilities. Those apps may not work entirely on the Tilt's CPU. The other apps I've used, from backup to office suite to games to shell add-ons DO work nicely indeed. So don't think this device can't run. It does and nicely overall too. Battery life is so-so - 1300maH is not much. Larger batteries are available, but they will make this thing HUGE. All in all, it's a good performer, and Windows Mobile 6.1 is a treat. But the omissions on the part of the manufacturer (the aforementioned video drivers) is most confounding. HTC is known for doing better. But that gripe aside, it really is a top ranking mobile unit. | |

| Ive had this phone for almost one year...got it when it first came out in Oct 2007. Pros: -Nice bright display -Slide out keyboard, with nice sized buttons -Ability to display either portrait or landscape -Runs on Windows software, so its pretty intuitive for most people. Also allows me to get my emails and sync contacts and other things with my Outlook at work. -Lots of neat options, such as Transcriber (you can write on the screen and it will turn your written words into text) Cons: -Very thick (almost 3/4 of an inch) -Very heavy -Not real good battery life -The internet speed (although this is supposed to be 3G) is horribly slow -People who call me have complained that the call quality is bad. They say they can hear background noises clearer than they can hear me. And my biggest complaint...the touch screen is not very responsive. In other words, you really have to press hard to get them to respond. It is especially bad when I use my finger. The phone does come with a sylus which helps somewhat. All in all its a pretty good phone, but I wouldnt buy it again. Id go with an iphone. I bought an ipod touch a few months ago, and it is far superior in regards to look, weight, thickness, and screen responsiveness. | |
| "Great all-in-one device" | 2008-09-14 |

| (I am actually writing this review on my laptop using my Tilt connection.) Note: If you're looking for a phone, this is not your device. If you're looking for a PDA, GPS unit, web browser, e-mail client with a phone built-in, this is a good choice. This device is very feature complete. I do identify two downsides: - The UI is a bit slow at times (hoping for improvement with the upcoming Windows Mobile 6.1 update). - I really miss a "regular" phone keypad more than I thought. The touch screen phone interface works well, but sometimes, you quickly want to enter just a bit of text (SMS, contact info, etc.) and on the Tilt, you have to either slide out the keyboard (making it a two-handed device) or pull out the styles (again, needs 2 hands). Overall, I think this phone's design is very good. I've had it for about 1 year now, and everything on it has held up, even though the keys below the screen feel a bit flimsy. The camera works OK, but could have better white balance correction. | |

| This is a great phone for business users who want to combine a calendar, phone, and Windows applications on one device without all the costs of the iPhone. Forget the data package. Just get the standard phone service and use the wifi when you want to connect to the internet. GPS works great as well. | |

| WHEN I SAW THIS PHONE FOR THE 1ST TIME, I WAS WITH VERIZON AND HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH MY MOTOROLA PHONE. I SWITCHED TO AT & T JUST FOR TILT PHONE, WASTED SO MUCH TIME & MONEY. MY 1ST TILT PHONE WAS MISSING THE CALLS, VOICE WAS BREAKING & NOT CLEAR AT ALL. AMAZON SEND ME THE 2ND TILT WHICH WAS EVEN WORST THEN 1ST ONE CAN NOT PROGRAM ANY THING. FINALLY I CHANGE AGAIN WITH MOTOROLA Q SMART PHONE. WORKED FOR FEW DAYS. AFTER FEW DAYS IT STARTS MISSING THE CALLS AND I CAN NOT HEAR OTHER PARTY, WHEN I RECEIVE THE CALLS. I CALLED AGAIN AMAZON CUSTOMER SERVICE , THEY ADVISE ME TO TAKE THE PHONE TO AT & T WHERE THEY FOUND THAT SPEAKER IS NOT WORKING. I MOVED TO AT & T END JUNE/08 AND SINCE THEN I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THESE TWO PHONES SUPPOSE TO BE THE BEST & MOST EXPENSIVE PHONES. HOW I WISH I WOULD HAVE STAYED WITH VERIZON. I SHOULD BE THANKFUL TO AMAZON CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THEY ARE STILL HELPING ME TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. | |

| 10 months later, my tilt is slow, bogging down, delaying, freezing. this experience is common with my htc phones from att. I had an 8525. it did the same thing. unfortunately i had to do a warranty claim which gave me 3 of the worst quality refurbished 8525. I finally talked to a high up supervisor at the att customer care center. They sent me a brand new tilt. unfortunately my warranty did not get updated. So just after my warranty for my tilt goes up, my phone starts acting up again!!! blah. this phone has some of the best features on the market, don't get me wrong but it just doesn't last. I do electrical contracting and need a phone with data voice and gps plus a high quality camera for my line of work and this phone put up with the violent abuse of dust, dropping, scratching and everything else you can find on a jobsite but it did not last the test of time. i am not satisfied with htc's products and i will not buy another one of their products again. | |
