How Cool Is This???

This has got to be one of the greatest "toys" I have ever gotten!! I can't put this phone down!! I looked at it in an ATT store but didn't really want to pay $400.00 each for 2 phones so I put it back and forgot about it - then I got an email from Amazon (see? Advertizing DOES pay!! LOL!!) about new cell phones and found it again at less than half the store price - couldn't resist. I got two, and we have not stopped playing with them for three days!! Easy to operate, crammed so full of features I will NEVER use them all, synced to my laptop intuitively, adding or removing music is amazingly easy - just hook up, click, and drag to the phone.....

I did see some questions on adding music as ringtones? I opened the phone itsself on my laptop (Drive E for me), went to My Documents, opened My Ringtones, and drug the music straight to there, have not figured out how to get it from Media Player to My Documents in the phone itsself, had to use the laptop.

I will MAYBE agree that there might be TOO MUCH stuff included in the phone program/game/accessory-wise, but if you stop and think about it, AT&T wants as much to offer as wide a scope of the population as possible, so who's to say what may be useless to me might not be vital to someone else? And again, when I opened the phone on my laptop it was certainly easy enough to delete the items I don't need......

I LOVE the transcriber as well!! Write on the screen with the stylus, it converts it to text, you send it as a msg., save it as a note or word doc, I just LOVE that! For quick notes it's just the best!! It seems to decypher my "chicken scratch" writing very well, amazingly enough.

I do want to back up another comment I read before I bought and am glad I did...... when I contacted AT&T to set up the service and transfer my phone numbers, they DID NOT have my data plans ordered even though it was clearly written on my Amazon receipt. You DO want to make sure you ask them if it's on your plan, otherwise you will get a mountain of data use charges. But the plan really is your responsibility anyway, you should review it when you set it up regardless. I have been on the phone with AT&T several times since I got these phones and they have been hands-down the most helpful customer service I have ever had to deal with. Reviewed my prior usage with my old company (turns out they had just bought it so they had access to my records) and recommended the best plans for me, even told me the data plan I wanted was too expensive for what I was going to be doing and saved me about $30.00 a month!

Look - we don't run a business and probably won't have massive data sheets or reports passing through these phones. But to get a PDA/message center/MP3 player/internet surfing/video playing/GPS cell phone with good sound and great reception here in the mountains, for this money it can't be beat. In fact, the $400.00 store price is a steal for all I got, but I'm really glad I found it here for much less!! LOL!!

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...

It has EVERYTHING!

I'm a huge cell phone fan and I tend to try out the latest and greatest. So far, this phone is it. I won't rehash all the features because you can read about those elsewhere. The highlights for me were the excellent battery life and the fact that it has just about every feature you could want in a PDA phone. The size isn't even that bad. I had resisted getting a PDA phone because of the size, but I've found I can still get this into my pocket. I'm glad I didn't give in to getting an iPhone because this has it beat. The only thing I found annoying is that there is no mini-plug jack. You can buy an inexpensive converter to plug in headphones, but it's weird they didn't include that. Otherwise, I love it. Makes me glad I have AT&T.

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.
