3G? It's in there. Wi-Fi? It's in there. GPS? It's in there. In fact, the AT&T Tilt promises, on paper, every wireless standard you could possibly ask for, a rather giddy slap in the face to Apple's comparably crippled iPhone. Designed for deep geeks who don't value style so much, the Tilt slides open to reveal a spacious QWERTY keyboard (just like its big brother the AT&T 8525), earning its name by letting you tilt the screen to a comfortable incline, which makes it far more useful in tabletop action. There's a lot to like, even love, here: Full-on Office Mobile, push email, push-to-talk, a pretty good 3-megapixel camera (especially with outdoor shots), and a sturdy, rugged design. On the downside, the Tilt is hampered by a laggy OS (Windows Mobile 6) and a perhaps too-slow 400MHz CPU, which means you'll face lengthy delays in loading apps or documents, rendering web pages, or doing just about anything else with the handset. However, it's the poor battery life (under 4 hours talk time) that may be the real dealbreaker for some users.
Review: AT&T Tilt

WIRED
You'll never be offline (at least while the battery has juice): It contains just about every radio known to man. Very good call quality. Big, bright display. Tilt screen feature is much more useful than it sounds. Intuitive controls. Wide variety of push formats supported: Can even connect to BlackBerry email.
TIRED
Pitiful, nearly useless speakerphone. Pocket-challenging in size and hefty at 6.6 ounces. Windows Mobile lags and hampers productivity, particularly with web browsing. GPS service plan costs extra.
