    I have a Nokia e71x, Blackberry Bold, and HTC Tilt 2. The HTC has the "coolest" features and reception is exceptional, but the Blackberry is *by far* the most usable. Many other users have waxed on about the features of the HTC. However, here are a few deal killers for me: 1. My phone had a tendancy to "lock up". I had to wait for up to 1 - 2 minutes for the phone to respond at times. If I needed to make an emergency call during these times, I would have been in trouble. 2. Sometimes the screen saver won't turn off or the screen won't turn back on when someone calls. There was no way to turn it back on, other than powering down. 3. The keys are extremely touchy. I've had the phone dial out repeatedly, even when I did not touch the screen. Additionally, the UI isn't the greatest (eg, while scrolling through screens), so there are a lot of unintentionally dialed numbers, etc. If my phone didn't have these problems, I'd have liked it much more. I say "would have" ... Read more

    This phone is a pretty good one. It has a very sturdy feeling to it, and the tilt-up screen is great. The keyboard is a normal qwerty keyboard, but they put an extra row of buttons at the top that were surprising - I use them a lot more when typing/texting than I ever thought I would. The main problem I have with the phone is the TouchFlow3D gui they put on it. It's VERY glitchy. I had a lot of problems with it locking up, slowing down and sometimes even freezing the phone, etc. Luckily, you can turn it off with an easy to find menu, thus solving most of the phones problems. Other than that, it's pretty good.

    great keyboard: easy to type and you can use your whole thumb. no more mistyping. great screen, for pictures, internet etc. windows mobile has very useful programs for productivity. eg: Notes lets you scribble notes to yourself while someone is talking to you on the phone. this cannot be done on a capacitative screen (eg: like iphone). the notes, along with other data, can be synced to your pc for later consideration. good camera and excellent ability to sync wirelessly with the myphone service. basically this stores all your phone data: videos, pics, contacts , documents, notes, tasks, and everything else, to a server, which can access on a pc as well. therefore, if you screw up and delete something by accident, it is still available from the website, from which you can download it. pictures are easily shared to social sites eg: windows live, facebook etc. speakerphone has a mellow, clear sound quality. to turn on, just put the phone facedown while you are speak...

    having owned this phone for around a month now, I find it hard to believe that so many reviewers are writing this phone and the windows phone platform off. Having handled the Droid multiple times now and the iphone many many times, I can safely say that this phone stands up pretty well. so let me compare some of the key features: 1. styling. to me the tilt2 is the best looking device of the 3. The iphone is close but definitely more professional looking than the Droid. 2. phone. speaker phone is easily the best of the three. bluetooth implementation is also the best. not many people consider these features, but if you use your phone a lot these are huge in my opinion. the bluetooth connection is excellent. 3. browser. the opera 9 browser is probably a shade below safari in usability but it is easier to zoom amd scroll in my opinion than the droid browser. speed is slightly below the droid amd safari, but i guess that is because the other three are running faster processors....

    I owned the HTC TyTNII (Tilt, aka Kaiser), loved it, had HTC HD, then briefly went to the iPhone, now have this phone (known as Touch Pro 2 on other carriers and globally). The phone itself is gorgeous. The call quality is perfect, the speaker, the mic, and the ringer are all loud and clear. The slide-out full QWERTY keyboard greatly improves usability of many apps like instant messaging or e-mail. Typing long URLs, and having the left-right (and up-down) keys to correct typing mistakes is a huge time-saver. The unit is a bit hefty, just like the original Tilt. The screen is a big, sharp, 800x480 WVGA one. The GPS receiver is ultra fast, it takes less than a second to start tracking using Bing or Google maps. Second, the OS - WM 6.5 is a fairly minor upgrade from 6.1. The best 6.5 features are the inclusion of the Pocket IE version 6 (along with the ability to display websites with Flash), a nicer start menu, more finger-friendly menus all around, support for widgets (lightweight...
