AT&T Tilt drops some knowledge on us
Even though we’re rockin’ the official HTC TyTN II, confirmed carrier offerings as always good. If there was any doubt in your mind that AT&T would be picking up the TyTN II, you can safely lay those worries to rest. Just as we all thought, AT&T will be picking up the version without a front camera. Why they do this is beyond us, especially since they have launched their Video Share feature. Regardless, it still makes us tingle to see some leaked docs on the device and what exactly it will be bringing to the table. On the email side, AT&T’s Tilt will offer Xpress Mail, Microsoft Direct Push (duh!), POP3/IMAP4, BlackBerry Connect 4.0 (we’re already using this and love it), and Good Mobile Messaging (available post-launch). The AT&T Tilt will also sport Push-to-talk, GPS, and Bluetooth 2.0. Our doc says "late September launch" not October, and the lowest you’ll snag the phone for is going to be $349.99 on a 2 year agreement with compatible data plan! Full slide, pricing, and compatible data plans after the jump!
Thanks, Jay L!

I got mine and posted a review of my first few days with it: http://www.htctilt.com/showthread.php?p=161#post161
Bought Tilt today at $150 after $100 rebate (3 day 50% sale).
VERY. VERY happy. It’s so freaking fast…
Don’t care for the FS camera. Rest of it (things like business card scanner or another GPS app – will just get it online
Phone is an excellent base – I’ll just fill it up with stuff that I need and off we go.
Quick Question -
I am thinking about getting the AT&T Tilt. Which service plan makes the most sense to get with my below needs:
1) I use the internet often to check emails and view some websites, but it doesn’t have to be on all the time. I just want the fastest connection possible.
2) I have a slingbox, so I’d want to be able to view slingplayer on the AT&T tilt at various times.
3) I have a laptop and would like to use the tilt as a modem to get online with the laptop.
4) I don’t need text messaging, as I don’t use it.
5) The camera portion is not a big deal for me either.
What is the cheapest AT&T PDA Data plan I can get on that will work with the above, excluding the normal minutes plan?
