After using my touch pro (Fuze) for 2 years, with WinMo 6.1, with all its pros and cons, I decided to change. I need WinMo because of my work (security settings), and given WinPhone 7 is not there yet, I decided to go with this phone instead. on the software, WinMo 6.5 delivers: smooth scrolling, marketplace, touch friendly, easy connectivity.. and after upgrading to latest HTC stock ROM, the new Sense is right there, stable and USEFUL. 90% of phone functionality available right there, and the graphics are awesome (Weather!!) CONS: I really miss the camera back light though. I would change that useless "mute" button for a bright LED for my camera. ATnT bloatware: No need to explain too much, ATnT apps are there, embedded into the stock ROM and although you can manually remove some, others will remain, taking program memory. but you can workaround this by applying a cooked ROM, if you don't need ATnT warranty. EnergyROM fix most performance and bloatware problems... sweet! Overall, a very good phone that plays the role of a netbook. Great keyboard, great display, good enough battery life, GREAT sound. Excellent option if you are a little savvy on how to customize your phone, to have it the way you want itRead full review
+: Touchscreen is very responsive. Not too bulky or big. Keyboard is big enougha and keys are wide enough to be easy to type. Messaging is intelligent and categorizes and orders messages by person instead of by time received, making it easy to review each conversation. Internet and operating system is easy to use and quick. Includes FM radio, with not-included wired headset. Similar to working on a computer. Running multiple programs (a plus if you love listening to music while checking your email. Also able to run programs in the background while charging the phone (without the screen having to be on). -: Not very pick-up-and-go (some reading required to understand the details). Phone is a bit laggy, not horrifically but enough to where sometimes you have to let it finish. Battery life is a bit short (if you use text, internt, data constantly--not really a surprise). Back plate of phone is a bit flimsy (plastic instead of metal like the middle strip is. Minimum applications available (miss Pandora from ipod touch/iphone), and most cost money or have a monthly premium. Overall a great phone, one of the best I've had so far. 8/10!Read full review
After using this device for a little over 2 months i was pleased with the wide variety of multimedia and business options; the feature set is truly impressive and sets a bar for the competition to aim for or maintain.Inclusive of a variety of IM and Mail clients and support for social network applications, Wifi, Wifi Routing, Fast 3G Data browsing, Bluetooth Support, a satisfying 3.2 Megapixel Camera, Clear loud Speakerphone/Music Player, Great call quality, integrated FM Radio, Music Player, Photo Album Support for editing and creation of MS Office Word, Excel & Powerpoint files,and the list goes on, if its mobile capable the TILT2 has it! It easily replaces my notebook pc while on the go. That being said all this is marred by a dated Touch-flo interface and buggy OS performance that cause hang-ups, sluggish performance, random reset and system freezing. This has been experienced and expressed in many forums but to date no certain fix has been found.Additionally, poor battery life and the Windows 6.5 menus can tend to cause a bit confusing/frustration for those new smartphone or windows phone users. I love my tilt 2 but it takes a bit of patience to live with it. A formidable smartphone with much potential,however the many and varied performance issue taint the users overall impression of the device.Read full review
The touchscreen and features are great. The only draw back is that sometimes you have to touch the button multiple times and many many times I get the same text showing up three times in a row. You can have features that you use all the time such as the camera, speed dial to certain people or calculator on a favorites home screen which makes it fast. The major issue I have is that even though you "lock" the screen while on a phone call, it magically becomes unlocked and your cheek has you calling people, making joint calls, texting and all sorts of things while you're on the phone, REALLY annoying.
htc tilt (touchpro) 2 is definitely a phone worth owning. i have had other touchscreen phones and the screens were marginal. the screen here is pretty good quality compared to them, almost as good as iphone. but in addition to the touchscreen, the slide-out keypad makes this phone easier to use if serious business must be attended to. this is aided by it coming with a suite of microsoft office mobile and has adobe reader le, although i would not want to actually have to use it hardcore for typing something, or, heaven forbid, having to do an excel project on it. contact management is good, although i would prefer if i could have the option to see the sim contacts and phone contacts on separate lists and could then show only one or the other. contact list also integrates all information about a single contact into their profile. simply going to an individual then allows the user to send them a text/email/voice message, call them, or access their facebook page. the htc music player and windows media player both work well and load quickly, but are kind of pointless because there is no headphone jack. does support (stereo) bluetooth headset, which can be used for music playing and phoning. photos/video are clear and sharp on the screen. messaging system is great, and allows for integration of email accounts into the phone so that they are visible in their respective inboxes on the phone. also, able to use microsoft activesync and keep the phone synchronized with the computer and vice versa. however, it does not come with any instant messaging client loaded already (but does have a facebook app). camera is a little over 3mp, would be amazing quality 8 years ago. pictures aren't grainy on the screen and when uploaded to computer, are still decent as long as not supersized. but it would be nice to have a flash for nighttime photo ops as well. microsd slot (and it being able to used msdhc cards) does make it quite useful anyway for storing what photos can be taken as well as any other media or files. can also be connected to pc and used as an external hard drive. the wireless connections all work fine and deliver good performance as long as they're given the network to perform on. on board wifi is a huge plus and adds to making the phone be a micro computer. ability to turn phone completely to "airplane mode" or turn on only certain wireless communications also is a great feature, especially with helping conserve battery life. battery life too is not bad, especially for this level of phone. can get it to last ~2 days or even more even with use of phone as well as texting and media usage. overall, tilt 2 is a good phone to have, especially if moving up to smart phone territory. but unless someone simply wants to spend the extra money or does a lot of time away from primary source of internet, it's better by far to buy phone outright and avoid the mandatory $30/month for 2 years (not including overages/taxes, adds up to ~3x what they usually sell for here on ebay) data package that at&t forces on anyone who buys it as an upgrade or through them.Read full review
