HTC Tilt 2 (AT&T) – Your Perfect Business Partner

Recently joined AT&T’s lineup, the HTC Tilt 2 is an 3G-enabled smartphone with an adjustable touchscreen and a slide-out keyboard. It is optimized for business use by combining Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system, HTC’s TouchFLO 3D interface, the noise-canceling technology and several revamped features.

The Tilt 2 is not only an upgrade to the original Tilt, but also regarded as a variant of the Touch Pro2. It is a bit heavy by weighing 6.3 ounces and measuring 4.57 x 2.34 x 0.65 inches, but boasting a 3.6-inch WVGA resistive touchscreen up front and a spacious QWERTY keyboard underneath give a good reason for its large size. Apart from a built-in accelerometer, it also comes equipped with gravity, proximity and ambient light sensors to maximize the usability of its touchscreen.

Using HTC’s Straight Talk technology with noise cancellation, the Tilt 2 delivers high-fidelity voice through the duplex speakerphones for clear and loud conference calling. You can activate the speakerphone simply by turning the phone face down, and mute the microphone by pressing the dedicated mute button.

Running on Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional platform, the new Tilt brings you access to Windows Marketplace for Mobile for downloading applications, Microsoft’s My Phone service for backing up your data, plus an improved Internet Explorer Mobile browser with Flash Lite support. As expected, you will also find Office Mobile for editing Word and Excel documents and viewing PowerPoint presentations. The new Tilt uses the TouchFLO 3D interface on top of Windows Mobile to enhance navigation experience.

Moreover, the Tilt 2 features a suite of messaging capabilities, including SMS text, MMS picture and IM instant messaging via popular services like AOL, Yahoo and MSN. It supports a wide variety of POP3 and IMAP accounts and offers Office Mobile Outlook to check emails, photos, music and weather.

As for multimedia features, other than Microsoft Media Player Mobile for audio and video playback, the Tilt 2 is also preloaded with a digital audio player, a FM radio, AT&T Music and AT&T Video Share. There is a 3.2-megapixel camera with auto-focus, panoramic mode, geotagging and video capture capabilities. The phone supports a microSD/SDHC memory card up to 32GB while offering 512MB ROM/288MB RAM.

In addition to advanced features like Wi-Fi networking, USB mass storage and Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, the carrier also brings a bunch of preloaded applications, such as AT&T Navigator for audible turn-by-turn directions, Facebook, YouTube, Mobile Banking and WikiMobile.

To sum up, the HTC Tilt 2 is an all-round smartphone with improved hardware, an easy-to-use interface and an updated operating system, which makes it a good companion for AT&T’s business customers.
