Review AT&T Tilt Review of Reviews

Bonnie Cha at CNET rated the AT&T Tilt 8.3 out of 10 for its many powerful  features such as the tilting screen, QWERTY keyboard,  3G, GPS, push e-mail, a 3-megapixel camera, and support for AT&T Music and Video. The problems noticed about the phone were that it was kind of sluggish, it had short battery life, poor picture quality, poor speaker phone and difficulty getting a GPS fix.

Sacha Segan at PCMag called the AT&T Tilt the "most powerful" AT&T device making it the leader in the field with support for high speed data all over the world.  He rated it 4 out 5 because the tilting screen "turns the device into the best little mobile media gadget ever." It did well on benchmark tests for processor speed and Wi-Fi transfers. It is "the best yet" for most varied email capabilities, with BlackBerry email push on the slow side and AT&T Xpress mail faster. The camera worked well but not as well as dedicated camera. "Where the Tilt rules is in combination with other Microsoft products" such as the MS Office applications.

Graham Reed at Laptop Magazine rated the AT&T  Tilt 3.5 out of 5 for the tilt screen, good keyboard, fast speed and superior camera.  He found the quality of MobiTV to be poor, had difficulties with the XM radio, called the sound "lackluster,' and had trouble with some of the softkey buttons. He concludes, "The Tilt is for those who like their smart phones packed to the gills with multimedia bells and whistles and who need the ability to view and edit Office attachments out of the box."

Matt Hickey at Crunch Gear wrote that the "AT&T Tilt lacks nothing," but notes that it does not come with a free GPS application, users have to pay a $9.99 monthly fee for TeleNav and the processor slowed down on large web pages. He notes that is a solid, fantastic for enterprise and top-of-the-line.

In a speed comparison test between the iPhone and the AT&T Tilt by Jenn K. Lee at Pocketables found that on the 3G network the AT&T's Tilt loaded web pages considerably faster often twice as fast as the iPhone on the Edge Network.

Comparati in its comparison of ATT&T Tilt vs iPhone notes that the Tilt has voice recognition, a higher resolution camera, multitasking capabilities, and insurance, with users ranking it slightly higher than the iPhone.

A consumer advocacy group claims the AT&T Tilt runs slower than previous HTC model phones due to a problem with the graphical driver.  You may want to check for driver upgrades.
