HTC Tilt2 Officially Available on AT&T, Priced

If this week is going to be about Verizon, the Motorola Droid and the CLIQ, last week’s top stories in the mobile industries had HTC on the front page, with the HD2 (Leo) and the Tilt 2 in the spotlight. Speaking of the HTC Tilt2, the handset which was rumored for an October 18th release date on AT&T was late by one day and just got official with the US carrier, starting today.
For those who don’t remember it, the quad-band HTC Tilt2 is a rather sleek smartphone that runs Windows Mobile 6.5. It comes with a 3.6-inch WVGA display, a 3.2 megapixel camera with zoom (4x), a full duplex speakerphone and a five row QWERTY keyboard with tilt-up display (hence the name) that makes texting and mailing an easy job.
There’s also a built-in FM radio, Xpress Mail for both personal and corporate email, 3G, Blutooth and USB connectivity, and a 1500 hi capacity mAhr battery with up to 8.5 hours of talk time and 20 days in stand-by.
Definitely not an entry level mobile to go with, the new HTC Tilt 2 will definitely appeal to the youngsters. Too bad is going to be priced on AT&T from $349.99 after a mail-in rebate and a signed contract with your name on it.

[...] Tilt 2 is in the spotlight of AT&T this week as it is officially available at AT&T. HTC Tilt2 is the handset which was rumored for an October 18th release. But it is finally available today. [...]
Does anyone buy Windows Mobile phones any more? The interface is difficult to navigate, with jarring irregularities between HTC’s front-end, and Microsoft’s PocketPC style OS beneath.
An example is that gestures don’t work for OS functions, and a stylus pen is required.
I think it’s a better bet to seek out one of the new Android phones, which is designed from the ground-up to have a multi-touch interface.
