 Thrilled About the Updated New Rom Just Released! September 5, 2010
-
I'm glad to have gotten this phone back. You see, I actually returned it and went back to using my plain little phone with no data plan. I didn't need to spend $30/month for required data plan for a smartphone. Shortly thereafter, AT&T offered the 2 different data plans, and I wanted my Tilt back!
I've had it (again) for a month this time. Just a few days ago, HTC released a brand new Rom especially for this phone, and I love it!
HTC Tilt 2 (AT&T) ROM Update 2.10.502.4
Release date: 08-30-2010
The new Rom features:
HTC Sense replaces TouchFlo 3D
Ability to Format the SD Card directly in the device
Inconsistent Caller ID function Hotfix
TILT 2 Freezes in SMS application Hotfix
Phantom SMS/MMS Count Hotfix
Overall improvement in the devices stability/operation
Built-in AT&T WiFi Client
Built-in Vlingo voice app
Improved email & messaging experience
Improved music & calendar experience
Built-in Twitter application
Built in IM client
AOL, MSN, Yahoo
and what the HTC website description failed to mention, a Camcorder icon.
I've also done a few harmless tweaks to enhance the phone and it works beautifully. It is very customizable.
This phone probably has the biggest, and without a doubt loudest speaker of any phone on the market. Speakerphone is loud and clear and so is music played from my SDHC card. Once broken in, battery life is great, and I've had no problem with reception. It is weighty and sturdily built, not like some of the cheapie, feels-like-it'll-fall-apart-any-minute phones on the market.
My one issue is that the Internet seems to turn on by itself, but I may have an incorrect setting. Still, it is a minor issue since when I notice it, I simply turn it back off.
Ironically, AT&T appears to now have discontinued the Tilt 2, so all I can say is get one while you can!
 aaaaagghhhh August 3, 2010
Brad (Sebastian, FL USA)
In the first week the phone unexpectedly "locked up". Nothing worked unlocking it. I was on the road so I removed the battery for a few minutes, restarted it aok. A few days later--locked again. I pulled up the ATT on line manual--no help. I called ATT, the first rep was TOTALLY unhelpful not familiar with phone. Hung up and called again-- again totally clueless, but at least gave me the # for HTC support. Called HTC--rep pretended that he never heard of this problem--I told him that removing the battery would reset it, he said go ahead and then told me that his troubleshooting was over, the phone is now working.
The next time it locked I called Amazon they replaced the phone immediately--great service.
Within a few days the new phone locked same exact problem. I was busy so I did the battery trick. Today it locked again called HTC tech support. Absolutely no help suggested ATT would have "unlock code" I told him that 1) ATT does not know that and 2) I cannot input a code into a locked phone He transferred me to "hardware support" he suggested I get a loaner from ATT & send the phone to them for repair.
I am SO glad that I bought the phone thru Amazon. They are going to work with me to replace this with a new model. The rep also told me that this IS a common problem.
One of the best phones I've owned July 24, 2010

I have been using various HTC phones for a while, starting with the 8125. The best one I had was the 8525, it was a very good phone but it eventually ran out of storage space for everything I wanted to put on it. So I eventually purchased the FUZE, which quickly became one of the worst phones I ever had, poor signal quality and poor battery life. I bought an Xperia which was a bit better than the FUZE for a while, but that was a used phone. After carefully looking over the various new phones that have come out in the last year I eventually settled on the Tilt 2 (I've never had much interest in the iPhone).
This phone gets better signal quality than any other phone I've owned, the interface is quick (maybe a little to qick),and it is overall one of the best phones from HTC that I've ever used.
It has a nice big screen and plenty of storage space, I am very happy with this phone.
 Serviceable but annoying July 20, 2010
Roboberto (New York, NY)
Good:
I got the phone because it's a GSM Quad and I wanted to be able to switch SIM cards overseas.
The keyboard is large, easy, and comfortable for me and my big thumbs.
The email function works pretty well for me.
When I send texts and emails the font is large enough for me to see easily.
The calendar and contact functions interface easily through an add-on program to my mac laptop.
Bad:
The screen responds to touch (or bang, it's pretty resistant) but doesn't have the beautiful iPhone response.
It's supposed to work with a stylus, but trying to work with both a keyboard and a stylus is clumsy.
I lost the stylus the first week and have been making do with thumbnail and fingernail.
The internet browsers are slow and clumsy--the fonts much to small for comfortable use. Then there's that resistant touch screen.
Sometimes other kinds of text are too small to read easily.
There's a touch-responsive zoom slider that's not very responsive.
The latest annoyance: you can't send someone's contact info in a text msg to another phone, unless it happens to be a Windows phone that can open a vCard. You can't copy and paste a phone number from a contact field to a text message. What I have to do when someone texts me for contact information is open the contact, write the info down on a scrap of paper, close the contact and enter the info by hand into a text msg.
This seems really stupid for a so-called smart phone.
But I can't justify spending the money on another phone, since it mostly works.
An update:
Also annoying:
People in the customer support area don't know the product, sent generic reinstall info,
didn't know whether this phone had the copy/paste function I inquired about, decided it didn't.
A redemption:
I figured out through more experimenting that I can copy a field from a contact into a text message this way:
Go to contact, select edit.
Highlight field content.
Open on-screen input panel.
Select control then c keys.
Close contact. Go to text messaging.
In composing text select on-screen input panel.
Select control then v keys.
Content will be pasted.
There's no way to do this from the slide-out keyboard because it doesn't have a control key.
Still pretty dumb. Now if I wanted to copy 2 or 3 fields . . .
unreliable July 3, 2010

I got the tilt to replace my very unreliable fuze. The phone only lasted less than six months be for the USB went out. Do not bother with HTC. Their phones get worst with every new device
