Great Phone, bit of a learning curve

I was a dedicated Palm user, and have just been using the LifeDrive, waiting until something better came along. In my opinion, nothing has from Palm yet. I finally had to get something that would talk to Vista and I really did not want to have all of my critical apps MS based. Grudgingly, I bought the Tilt and was very surprised by the flexibility, the speed, and the agility. There is a bit of a learning curve because its not a phone nor a palm, but it can do so much if you put in the time to program it and fine tune it for one's needs. The bluetooth really works with everything in range and it is a great music player to boot. It has a truckload of "bloat ware" and it tries to sell you stuff at every turn, but if you can ignore that then this is an excellent phone and PDA. and it works seamlessly with Outlook.

Long time Palm user to Windows Mobile Tilt

As a long time Palm user I had so many apps accumulated I had trouble making the switch to Windows knowing how much software I'd lose (and have to buck up to re-purchase!)

Sure enough no developers want to just 'give' me a license because I decided to switch platforms. It's been an expensive switch and a time consuming one trying to find apps that parallel or exceed the Palm ones.

The software available is definitely more limited for Windows, but then again Palm developers have roughly 10 years on their Windows counterparts. For instance I had GREAT apps for grocery shopping (e.g. Jshopper) but trying to find one for Windows is near impossible that will let you import your old lists as CSV values.

Also, many very good developers who offer both Palm & Windows options offer only a scaled down Windows application. For instance Calorieking.com has a diet diary/calorie counter that is a fantastic weight loss tool. The Windows app is only a small fraction of the powerful tool available for Palm.

All in all I am very pleased with this phone; all it's capabilities and add-ons available. Handango has a great selection of apps that will tell you which ones are compatable with your Tilt. Sbc has some good products that will mod your today screen with things like your "Top 5" with a photo that you can just press to dial your favorite contacts.

The thing I miss most about my Palm is the already integrated features that I don't need to go searching for and purchase. Chat-style threaded text messaging is a thing of the past on Windows mobile so look for purchasing a program such as Extreme Text if you want to keep track of your conversations by sender.

Holy Recharging Nirvana!!!

Not sure if it is mentioned in other reviews, but this phone has the unique feature of a universal mini USB slot to charge and transfer data to the PC!!! Maybe it is not unique, but I have not owned any other phone/pda/laptop/etc. that used a universal port for charging. The other reviews will tell you what a great phone this is for other reasons, but this feature needs to be praised. Every other cell phone manufacturer needs to take note and get on the "universal" bandwagon.

How nice would this be?
-You buy a bunch of $.99 mini usb cables.
-You store them at your home, office, in your car, public restrooms, etc.
-You now have the ability to charge all your portable devices using said cables from any laptop/pc with usb. You can also plug the usb cables into a standard wall jack using the adapter that came with the pda(the adapter that comes with the standard iPOD works also).
-Running low on batteries while you are traveling in Switzerland? Run over to the local Starbucks and pop your device into Hilda's laptop. Buy her a Frappuccino and you are golden!

For the moment, we will have to continue buying overpriced, slightly different power chord adapters because the manufacturers love money and hate you. All except for HTC and their wonderful Tilt Smartphone. And now, back to making out with my new Tilt...
