The Gadget : TheAT&T Tilt , a Windows Mobile 6 smartphone that has Wi - Fi , Bluetooth , 3 G , GPS navigation , a 3 - megapixel photographic camera , and Push - to - Talk along with a microscope slide - out / fold - up keyboard and a 2.8 - inch touchscreen . It ’s a Windows Mobile phone , yes , but it ’s also the Windows Mobile phone with the best GPS software package we ’ve see yet .

The Price : $ 299 with two - yr declaration
This same slowness can be come across when comparing the two ’s browsing speeds when viewing Gizmodo.com . It took the Tilt more than a second to download the integral page , whereas the Mogul got everything in about 20 . After it was done downloading , the page drive forever to scroll up / down / left / rightfield , and was on the verge of being unusable . In comparability , the Mogul scroll Sir Frederick Handley Page just fine without much holdup .
However , we ’d be unforced to take with a pretty slow speech sound thanks to its GPS functionality . The Tilt comes bundled with a copy of TeleNAV , which allows the GPS receiver within to power an almost standalone - Global Positioning System - level of pilotage . All the standard fomite navigation features are there , unlike on the Helio Ocean , and the function is very usable and very responsive when both using directions ( it detects when you ’ve swerve off course ) and just driving around . There ’s even traffic information that update in real sentence as you ’re redirecting route . TeleNAVcosts $ 9.99 a month for unlimited trips and $ 5.99 for ten trips , and requires you to have an active data plan . With the 3 G datum , it was able to deplume down maps and directions at focal ratio comparable to standalone unit of measurement .
Push - to - lecture is also there via a dedicated button on the side , and when tested , functioned decently for PTT . However , it ’s basically a speakerphone call with the other political party where you have to push the push button to verbalize . somewhat useless unless you relish PTT .
The 3.0 - megapixel camera is n’t slap-up ( it ’s on - par with HTC phones ) , but it ’s serviceable if you have nothing else . you may push the camera button down a little to focus , and then all the way to take the picture .
All in all it ’s a standard Windows Mobile 6 phone with a great HTC keyboard , received HTC functionality and a slightly dumb processor — which slow down everything else . However , the add together features over the 8525 such as the awe-inspiring GPS seafaring , flip - up QWERTY and WM6 itself makes this an interesting choice . If you ’re looking for virgin speed , you may want to consider the Mogul on Sprint . [ AT&T Tilt ]
