Love it! It's like a mini pocket laptop! Connected to my wifi at home, and I signed up for the data plan for $39.99 (ouch, i know, only till I get the rebates though!). 3G speeds are awesome! There's still so much exploring I need to do! Where can I find apps for windows mobile 6? The rebates work as long as you renew your contract for 2yrs. It's not just for new activations. As long as your voice and data plans are $39.99 and up each. I still had 1yr left on my contract and upgraded my phone + renewed for 2yrs again. I get charged a $18 upgrade fee though...

Yep, thats what I got from the specs. The spare one looks to be used for network connections, and or software initiating? Like I said, whatever it is, it rocks. Went to ATT store last night in Boulder, no models out on the floor but they had them in back for sale. One question for BB users, my wife is looking at a BB curve. I havent looked to close into there phones, but how do they do with 3rd part apps? @ Jeff B.

Also, as another poster mentioned earlier, the Boy Genius is wrong about HSUPA - it has HSDPA/UMTS. It does have a lot more free RAM than some other HTC variants, which should significantly help performance. Just one processor – a Qualcomm MSM 7200 running at 400MHz.

I don't need to compose messages with one hand (can't do that on the BB either). But I like being able to hold the BB with one hand and do most things I need with the scrollwheel. I find I use my BB more and more to surf, and the 3G sounded like a huge boost over EDGE (not to mention the Tilt's much faster processor than the BB has). I was concerned about an earlier post indicating 3G did not make much of a difference. Glad to hear that has not been your experience.

The Tilt isn't good for one handed texting, if that's what you want. However, if you want a device with all of the latest technology, then nothing beats the Tilt. I immediately put a 2Gb memory card in my Tilt (even before I took it out of the store), and I've installed any extra apps on the memory card. The transition speed, as well as the speed of the apps is fine with me. Also, the 3G in the Raleigh, NC area is very fast. If you're a power user, and want the capability to use 3G, Wifi, VPN into your corp network, tethering your device to your laptop as a wireless modem, 3Megapixel camera, with expandable memory capability...then there's no peer to the Tilt.

So I thought the Tilt might be my upgrade/consolidation device. I went to a local ATT store last night. They had one Tilt in stock. I was ready to buy it (without trying it - the battery was not installed) but after 40 minutes of trying they could not port my Sprint number (Sprint wanted the account number, which I did not have with me.) I was supposed to go back to day and complete the deal. But sean76 is scaring me away. I have been using a Blackberry for years and the comments about being unable to use the tilt with one hand are making me very leery. Maybe I will just stay miserable with two devices until RIM rocks the 9000. But my guess is that is many months away. I did play with the Iphone while I was at the store. I have to say, the screen is unbelievable. Makes my BB (or any other device I have seen, for that matter) look like a toy. But I couldn't hit a single key accurately on the virtual keyboard. My BB keyboard and ease of singlehanded use have pretty much ruined me for anything else. So I guess I will pass on the Tilt. That makes at least one available in New Orleans :) I use a Sprint phone for voice and an ATT Blackberry for data, and am sick of carrying two devices.

My contact at at&t put one aside for me when they got their delivery earlier today (only 3). So anyway here's my short take on it! Not a one handed device what so ever, even with the track wheel it's tough to operate with one hand! But that's not why I'm packin it up and bringin it back tomorrow. The 3G is not that fast at all on this device, my Curve and 8800 both beat it out, the camera has way to much lag when takin a pic (takes for ever), and it's not zippy at all when switchin apps. All in all, it's just not for me. I'll stick with my Curve until they drop the 9XXX series. Well I picked up a Tilt earlier tonight!

With two hands you crush for real + stylus, +touchflo, +Block and letter recognizer, +transcriber. No shite. All that and a bag of chips. Tilt will do most if not all of this too. It's sooo shweeet.

At 1pm, they had 3. I got one of them. They refused to let me open the box before I bought it; there was none on display. I was eligible for a $50 discount because I was out of contract and due for a new phone. This, on top of the two $50 rebates, so my final cost will be $250!!! Yeah! I lucked out!
