It’s harder and harder to buy a new smartphone these days mainly because there are so many models out in the wild to choose from and because some of them have been custom named for a specific carrier. But considering that you’re on AT&T and looking for a Windows Moblie 6.5 handset with a HTC logo on it, how about the new HTC Tilt 2 which is rumored to be introduced by the US carrier in the coming weeks?

HTC Tilt 2 carries over a 3.6-inch WVGA display and a 3.2 megapixel camera, features a QWERTY keyboard with tilt-up display (if you wondered what inspired the name) and a full duplex speakerphone.

Although not official yet, AT&T is expected to bring the HTC Tilt 2 to life on their network starting October 18. Word is that the handset will cost $299.99 after a $50 rebate.

Not sure what makes it such a great phone — now that we’ve heard of the new HTC HD2 (Leo), but we’re curious to know if you’re going to pay the price to get your hands on the new Tilt 2 when released.
